However, Shaw was most intrigued by the inclusion of hybrid cryptids such as the gorgon, Phoebe (voiced by Angeliki Papoulia), because of the moral ambiguities associated with blurred identities.
Japanese artist Hokusai had done a drawing of a Baku, so I thought in the universe of the movie, a Baku being the very most important cryptid on the planet would be exciting.” Shaw pointed to “an experimental manga anthology called ‘Comic Baku’ and that’s when I first encountered the world.
When I came across the Baku,” Shaw added, “I thought it would make a great movie idea because it was very dreamlike.” “The idea was to portray existing mythological creatures because I wanted it to be about our world. “Drawing was the only way of depicting the cryptids and Jane painted most of them when creating the menagerie of characters,” he continued.
