Well, the main characters were all teenagers, so it's safe to say that that particular affliction was not limited to the satyrs.

Same reason they didn't include vampires, thunderbirds, manticores, chimeras, dryads, sphinxes, jackalopes, and rocs: they've only got so much room, and there are a LOT of mythological creatures.

I don't want to be obnoxious, but could you accept traditional spellings? I grew up on Irish folklore, and so for me leipreachán and bean sí come to mind before the anglicized spellings. I don't have this problem with many other mythologies, but I'm sure other quiz-takers do, and it would really us help if you could accommodate that.

Ugh was just too late for basilisk. Couldnt remember gorgon, typed gargantua..

And tried so many for the banshee one (while I know the term) based on different parts of the question. Tried: siren, fairy (couldnt bother with alternate spellings like fae and faery) ghoul, wisp, will o the wisps, and another one I believe.

For the satyr I first tried pan, which it didnt accept, then faun which it did accept.

Quite easy but very fun quiz. Could think of quite a few more mystical beasts, is there a part two?
