>>98224372Some perhaps. but not all, because certain monsters (such as Owlbear) are explicitly product of magical experiments, not any natural (or unnatural) union of parent species.>>98224814Lore plays pretty loose with the classical mythology, take Minotaur for example - originally one-of-a-kind cursed son of Pasiphae and White Bull. Most ttrpgs have them as a race of generic monsters.
>>98224414You don't need to "just know" when it's explicitly spelled out in the text senpai.
>>98224372Depends on the setting. Some have many of the monsters encountered in the world carried there by an ancient alien arcology spaceship, escaping and running amok.
>>98224814Paizo's Lamashtu is a fusion of the OG Lamashtu, Lilith and Echidna. This was likely done because Lilith is to well known and associated with succubi. Echidna likely went unused because they didn't want confusion with the monotreme or to attract the Sonic fanbase.
