I might have finished the monster dictionary?

Attached is an image showing that it is now 427 pages long, double-columned, at 10pt size, Times New Roman font (the introductions and guiding essays are not double-columned), and has an insane word count of 252356. Over quarter of a million words, In addition, I have 6349 names for 5134 individual creatures/entries.

This has been a 20 year labour of love... and I am sure that in a week I'll find another few creatures to add to the list...

So many monsters from folklore, mythology, cryptozoology and belief!

I have not included creatures from fiction (film, book, comic and creepypasta), just from legitimate belief. And still over 5000 of them!

No, you are correct: I have no life.
