Sharp Swords & Sinister Spells Mythological Characteristics

This post includes a table for Mythological Characteristics for my Sharp Swords & Sinister Spells Automatic Monster Generator, which is an automated version of the monster generator found in the SS&SS Addendum. It's a fun, rules-light, OSR-style system and I would recommend you check it out!

The generator in the book listed "Mythological" as one of the natures, but it's not actually in the book! This is my attempt to fill that gap by coming up with my own "Mythological Characteristics". This table has also been added to the automatic generator so follow that link if you want to make mythological monsters!
