Bugazoo letterbat

$

Bugazoo is a Garamond-based letterbat, all caps font where every creature tells you it's name and kind, an artist interpretation of various cryptids from around the world. A personal project, it is intended for kid's monster books, Initials of fairy-tale books and the like, and for teaching children their ABC's (intended to be sold on MyFonts). I plan a full set with punctuation, numbers,diacritics and special characters. Problem is I do not know how to find mythical beasts starting with Ntilde, Oslash, AE etc., so I rely on people on the board to give me a hint or two, it being international.

For those wondering why their favorite cryptid isn't on the list, it goes
Amphibaena
Banshee
Cocatrice
Dragon
Echidna
Fairy
Gnome
Harpies
Imp
(Jersey) Devil
Kappa
Lamia
Mora
Nymph
Ourobouros
Phoenix
Quetzalcoatl
Roh (Arab)
Snakebeast (personal)
Troll
Unicorn
Vampire
Witch
n/a ["xomster"]
Yale
World War Z

My idea was to pair the font with Garamond without using outlines or plagiarizing (hence the serifs are slightly different), so for example a Brothers Grimm Fairy talescould be set in Garamond and with Initials in Bugazoo.

A lot of work went into this. What do you think?
