very interesting that you mention the leviathan, since tannin is Hebrew for sea monster and is typically tied to the leviathan.
My aemirok (flying wolf) started in my head, then its name was inspired by an Inuit legend of a giant beta wolf who would eat any hunter foolish enough to hunt alone at night.
The anqingon and saliero had no foundation in mythology or anywhere, really. The anqingon was merely a tool used to explain the creation of the gaaban aygiff’s wear in my fantasy world that can stretch and shrink – very important – so my aygiffs (those who can transform into animals) don’t go around naked after transforming! (Having them transform with their clothes on and then have them magically reappear when they transform back just never seemed realistic to me…)
