Apparent conflation
While the current English and French labels designate this concept as a "mythical entity", the German label "Mythisches Wesen" is closer to "Mythical being", i.e. a lower-order class of Mythical Entity. The German alias "Fabelwesen" (mythical creature) is even more specific. Jonathan Groß (talk) 09:59, 20 November 2023 (CET)
