What is a Mythical?

=
''This page is designed for humans, questioning Mythicals, and more, with a basic definition on what a "Mythical" is. If one is curious about Mythicals, their culture, and more, this is their go-to page.'' ======

First, the big question, and the title of this page: "What is a Mythical?"
Also called "Supernaturals", these are human beings who aren't fully "human". Some are Merfolk, some have bird wings on their backs, others have animal ears instead of human ones (If you're curious on the many varieties of Mythicals, see Mythical Types ). For the most part, though, they think like humans and act like humans.

Now, I know the idea of "not exactly human but sort of" beings may creep some out. However, Mythicals are more human than not; think of them as another race of human. They are no different from any other human: no matter their race, gender identity, or age. Sure, there are some differences between humans and Mythicals, but there are also differences between other humans. And there are differences between other Mythicals as well. Really, there is nothing that separates us from humans in the long run.

Some Mythicals even are human (Psychics, Telekinetics, and more are considered under the Mythical umbrella). Each Mythical is unique, and special in their own way. They're a lot more common than you may think: many of them hide themselves in society, for fear of many reasons.

If you are thinking, "why would they want to hide if they're normal and human?", then you're already on the right track.
Not all people view Mythicals as "human" or "normal". Some think they are inferior to humans. Others think they are too "powerful", or "dangerous". Either way, these negative feelings have caused Hunters and others of the like to appear: hunting down Mythicals for food, profit, sport, and sometimes even experimentation. The reality is that it's dangerous for Mythicals to show their true selves out in the "real world", not to mention all the humans that would be shocked or terrified by the discovery.

So they simply hide.

And just because they're Mythicals does not mean that they don't live normal lives. For the most part. They still go out to eat, or attend concerts, and more. Sure, sometimes being a Mythical interferes with their normal life. But as stated before, they are more like humans than they are not.

Now, if you are more curious on Mythical culture, there are many pages you can visit on this Wikia. It is recommended you do not use the "AWTOK Survival Wikia" as a source of information for Mythicals: There is more information on this topic on the home page, but in short, the Wikia has been vandalized (the wikia is a good source if you want to see an opposing view, more critical of Mythicals, but it still has many errors, flaws, and false claims on it). See the section below for the other pages on this Wikia.
