Night Horrors, Mythic Foes

[Krat05]

So once upon a time I read Night Horrors, Conquering Heroes... & I was a little disappointed.
Don't get me wrong, it was great on multiple levels, I loved the introduction of the Insatiables, & it was good to see more variation with the Heroes. But, with a several entries I got a bit of a feeling of sameness.
I don't know if anyone else felt this, but I got the idea into my head to start building a list of various ideas for entries of a second Beast the Primordial Night Horrors book, which I have titled "Mythic Foes".
This thread is basically me sharing these ideas with the community.
Note, some of them are very threadbare.

This "book" has been divided up into three chapters which are further divided.

Chapter 1: Halfway Sleeping/In the Dream
This chapter covers Begotten, Heroes, Insatiable, & other creatures firmly rooted in the Primordial Dream. Also certain phenomenon of the Primordial Dream.

Chapter 2: Halfway Waking/In the Waking World
This chapter covers hunters & other stuff of the material world that has been touched by the Primordial Dream in one way or another.

Chapter 3: Outside the Dream/Other Monsters
Finally, this chapter covers creatures from other gamelines which have developed a connection of some sort to the Primordial Dream.
I really feel Night Horrors, Conquering Heroes should have had something like this last chapter. Intellectually, I know what it didn't but it still bothers me.

Where I got this fanmade stuff from:
Ancient Horror, Recurrent Soul, Multi-Headed, Twin-Souled, Tiny Terror are all fanmade Beast the Primordial Merits found on this site, most on the Beast fan-made Merits thread.
I'm not really sure what the difference between the Ancient Horror Merit & the Recurrent Soul Merit is.
Information on the reverse-Heroes called Prophets can be found on another thread, along with the information about Hero Lineages & Longings.
The Monster Tamer Hero is a variation on the Hero that was conjured yet another thread on this site.
The rest of the fanmade stuff, I can't remember where I got it from.

To my knowledge, everything from the previous two posts is either my own creation, or comes from the thread "Nightmares & Dreamscapes: Incursions from the Primordial Dream".
I apologize if I am incorrect in this regard.
