Good find for Baba Yaga. Those are very much in the spirit of the stories. You’ve got the idea on where my brain was headed.

The real divide between fantasy and the sword/board historicals is some loudmouth waving their fingers and muttering odd sounds that might well be taken as insults and rude gestures to the gods. On top of that there are those weird things that keep eating the occasional negligent handler, which the royalty assured the generals wouldn’t happen… often, that come in as monsters.

Pull in the stories of cultures that you play with on another level beyond just the tabletop.
