I can definitely see speciation in legendary creatures. Not only is there of course plenty of room to make up traits wholesale, but that's also a way to explain how multiple legends have different varieties of creatures. For instance, Nosferatu and Dracula are very different vampires. Of course there's the fast zombies and the slow zombies, as well as all manner of ghosts and apparitions with varying amounts of visibility and ability to touch and manipulate their environment.

I'd definitely like to see a world with a theme like that. Any ideas for a particular era? Modern? Medieval? Victorian?
