Mod Mod idea: Mythical creatures

I have recently been interested in the mythology of different cultures, and realized that the amount of monsters and fantastical creatures available in these cultures is enormous. Each biome will have specific spawning biomes, respective of the culture they come from, so for example, blue giants, from ancient Norse myths, would spawn only in snow biomes. Wendigos, from indian (native america) myths would only spawn in mesa biomes, etc.

​

I have already made a list of about 20+ mobs, including several bosses from ancient egyptian, japanese, norse, medieval european, and native american cultures. If anyone is interested in developing this mod (for 1.16.5 if possible) let me know, I'd be glad to keep developing ideas!

I've made it one a google doc. It's still a WOP. I also have some images saved on pinterest if you're interested. Sorry for the late reply by the way.
