The ‘SkySurfers’ are a normad people, they rise from village to village to trade by selling high value products such as dream viands and cotton candy silks.
They move super fast for their biogas filled fish birds.

For all its flaws, I genuinely think there are few works out there quite like Touhou, which isn’t just a fantasy work but is a work about the meaning of fantasy, and folklore, and how people and societies derive meaning from the mythical and fantastical
Only other obvious example would be Discworld, which I still need to read someday

A dark force grapples 1928 New York City. When British magizoologist Henrik Mikaelson's case of fantastical magical creatures lets loose his - well, his darling children from all around the world - he finds an auror, a Legilimens and an aspiring baker to help him round them up before… well, let's just say that getting into trouble isn't really the nicest of ideas when the threat of wizard extremist Gellert Grindelwald hovers over the wizarding world.
A retelling of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them for Day 08 of AU-gust: Fantastic Creatures.
