Undertale, UT magic and how it works
@kara_dreamer@witches.town Maybe monsters, being so suffused with magic as part of their integral being, fit into these strangely archetypal species, such as ghosts, or skeletons, or goat-like creatures like Toriel, and fish people and lizardfolk and cats and sphynxes and suchlike because that's just the forms magic takes, hence human legends about similar creatures, because humankind dimly remembers such things being real and around once?
