Okay,
So I have created my fantasy world, and have a lot of made up creatures roaming around in it. It's my world, so I do have earth named creatures as well.
My question to you is, as a reader, when trying to describe a new creature would you rather I kept it in fantasy trying to explain it or would it be alright to use earth animals to help describe it:
- the beast looked like a cross between a dog and antelope.
or
- the beast had a long body with antlers on top.
Not the best examples, but I am sure you get my meaning.
Does it ruin the fantasy world to use common description, or does it make it easier.
Thanks,
Brad
