Kate’s Supernatural Creatures Quiz

Blog, Fun POST A COMMENT May 29, 2023 by Moderator R

Hi everyone, Mod R here.

House Andrews, as you know, are hard at work on new projects (some of you have guessed which), and with a release approaching, I thought it was time for another quintessentially chernobogian quiz by yours truly.

Disclaimer: You know I set tricky questions. l love you…but I’m also evil. It’s all intended for entertainment though and doesn’t actually mean anything. Should it prompt you to do a reread, oh well, someone has to sacrifice. But please don’t go through with the quiz if you think the result could make you real-life upset.

Kate's Supernatural Creatures Quiz

The way things are going, magic is probably about to crash into our world and send it spinning. Are you ready to face the creatures it will awaken? Take the quiz and find out if your know-how will get you through the Shift.

You’ve decided the post-Shift city life isn’t for you, so you retreat to the forest. One day, a viciously shrill noise starts to split the trees around you and it’s so loud you can feel your ears start to bleed:

Bonus question not related to Kate Daniels, I just want to prove a point: Is a griffin a bird or a mammal?

Your score is

I was going to post just brief answers in the comments, but seeing how there are requests for in-depth explanations, here they are.

    Unexpected first💃💃💃

    I am so smart! SMRT!!! This was fun and made you have to think about all the different Kate books! Thanks Mod R

    55%. Not good enough!

      Same!

    I’m confused. My score was 55.56%. I thought I did better than that. Also, even with the bonus question, that’s a weird percentage. Fun quiz, though. Thanks.

    • Terry says

      May 29, 2023 at 9:24 am

      Completely ditto.

      • Greta says

        May 29, 2023 at 9:39 am

        Same! I’m very disappointed. I think the scoring may be wrong, I see everyone having the same score.

        • Moderator R says

          May 29, 2023 at 9:44 am

          Hi Greta,

          The scoring isn’t wrong, I tested it myself going though the permutations with correct and incorrect answers before I published it 🙂 . You can see comments from people who got different scores, but probably a lot are falling into the same mischievous traps.

          I did however ask you to not take the quiz if you think the result could have adverse reactions, it’s something meant for fun and a rereading honeypot, it’s not worth real world distress. This will probably be the last quiz I devise, the last thing I want is to cause anyone upset.

          • Gretchen says

            May 29, 2023 at 9:56 am

            They are fun, Mod R! Please make more!

            May 29, 2023 at 10:18 am

            I had a lot of fun with this. Sometimes the correct answers were no fun, so I picked another. I still scored over 55%. Please keep doing them, block the complainers.

            Have a fun day, Mod R!!!!!!

            • Sabrina says

              May 29, 2023 at 10:28 am

              Ditto – the sky _should_ dream of dragons! And Teddy Jo totally deserves romance! 😉
              Like with your quizzes, ModR, succeeding with 100% of a horde is impossible and it should not ruin your fun! If you have fun making the quizzes, the large majority will have fun taking them 😊

            Please make more quizzes, Mod R. You have a gift for hilarious content. The less sense the quizzes make, the better imo. And I request that you continue to include Jimothy, a quiz character destined to make poor life choices. This must have been a lot of work and you are appreciated!

          • Brent says

            May 29, 2023 at 5:12 pm

            I had 100%, because I went with the fun/most amusing answer.

            (Actually 44%, because I haven’t reread the books in a while and have too many different magic-mythic-folklores floating around in my head.)

          Greta, I have 77% and I wrote the damn books. 😀 The scoring is right, it’s just that there are a lot of words and they were years ago.

            There is a plot.

    • Sara B. says

      May 30, 2023 at 12:15 pm

      9 questions … so # correct divided by 9 gives a decimal percentage like 88.89% for 8 right, 55.56% for 5 right, etc.

  5. Tink says

    May 29, 2023 at 8:38 am

    Did I miss the answers somehow?

    Also, I apparently sprout metal feathers, so I have material for Team Rose.

    • Moderator R says

      May 29, 2023 at 8:40 am

      You don’t sprout them, you cough them, which is simultaneously better and worse 😂

      • Tink says

        May 29, 2023 at 10:33 am

        Better a cough than they use the other exit. Ouch.

        • Katep says

          May 29, 2023 at 2:07 pm

          either way, those feathers are disquieting! Do I turn into a Stympahalian Bird or did I eat one in an unremembered shift…

    44.4% and I survived the shift, but the tragedy is the correct answers aren’t given afterwards! AHHHHH!!!! Now I have to research why I am coughing up metal feathers. 🙁

    LOL Time for a reread!

    • Moderator R says

      May 29, 2023 at 8:46 am

      You probably ate a Stymphalian bird and don’t remember 😉

  9. Randy says

    May 29, 2023 at 8:54 am

    Request for right answers, or at least, where are all the dragons I missed? (I would have guessed “2”.)

    • Moderator R says

      May 29, 2023 at 9:02 am

      The question includes the books from Kate’s POV and alternate character POVs…

      I won’t give the right answers until more people take it, otherwise it’s no fun.
      I can give you a hint though: Kate gets into fights with 3 dragons just in her books. And not all dragons are bellicose towards our cast 😉

      • Tiffany says

        May 29, 2023 at 10:15 am

        That question threw me off cause I didn’t know if we were including siblings of a *cough* known dragon…or if someone else technically counted as a dragon, since I believe he doesn’t have legs, which means he could also be considered a wyrm….and I’ll just see myself out here.

        • CTL says

          May 29, 2023 at 4:58 pm

          I was thrown off by the picture of the bird lady. It was used before but this question was referencing someone else. Tricky, tricky.

          This was fun.

      • Mandi P says

        May 30, 2023 at 12:25 pm

        So I didnt count the sea dragon, but I did include the dragon Kate saw during the flare in Magic Burns. I don’t think that dragon was ever identified.

    • Wendy S says

      May 29, 2023 at 11:40 pm

      This was fun. Made me dredge through the old memory bank. I missed 4 dragons or so, especially Chernebog’s!
      I’d be happy to take one every month or 2. Good reason to reread the books.

      • Moderator R says

        May 30, 2023 at 12:42 am

        See, perfect illustration why the scores don’t matter, we all read the books in our way and different stuff sticks in our mind, as it should be!
        The scene where Aspid gives Roman kisses like Dino in the Flinstones lives rent free in my brain, I think of him before I think of Yu Fong! That’s definitely not other people’s experience, going by the answers 😅.
        When I did the Innkeeper quiz, I asked about the Chatty Cathy joke that cracks me up every time in Sweep of the Blade and something similar happened 😂

    55.56% ok, not great. Funnily enough, the results blurb said “Well done!

    You sleep with Bullfinch’s Mythology under your pillow and it shows. All your friends come to you with their magical creature problems; you can spot a badzula by smell alone and a marakihan even in stormy waters. You have promising career opportunities with both the Order of Knights of Merciful Aid and the Guild of Mercenaries.”
    High praise for a 55%

    • Moderator R says

    😂😂TricksyMod R is making me second guess answers I’m pretty sure are right. But I guess pretty sure isnt good enough. This was fun though! I have absolutely nothing to do today so I tried a couple times. The highest I got was 66.67. Gonna go watch tv with the kids and come back later to try again some more.

  24. Rachel says

    May 29, 2023 at 10:14 am

    Regarding the bonus question, a definitive answer depends on a question…
    do griffin lay eggs or give live birth?

      May 29, 2023 at 10:16 am

      Ooo. Wait…don’t platypus lay eggs?

      • Beth says

        May 30, 2023 at 7:30 pm

        Yes platypuses lay eggs & some species of snakes/fish bear live young (I believe, though those nature shows wer awhile ago).

    • sarafina says

      May 29, 2023 at 10:20 am

      Snakes do both.

    • David in Fremont says

      Some mammals lay eggs…

      • David in Fremont says

        Wait! why weren’t all those other comments visible before I answered?

    • Jennifer says

      June 3, 2023 at 2:22 am

      Also, do they lactate? since they have a lions body I think it’s likely they both lactate and give birth to live young so obviously a mammal, d’oh

  25. kdf says

    May 29, 2023 at 10:15 am

    Fun!

    Uh-oh.

    Well, the good news is you survived the Shift.
    The bad news is that magic has awoken a creature INSIDE you, and you can’t even identify which one it is. Better start rereading up, this morning you woke up coughing metal feathers.

    Your score is 44.44%

  26. Isabelle Grou says

    May 29, 2023 at 10:16 am

    Ok i want to see what I got wrong. And obviously reread everything!

  33. Lynn says

    May 29, 2023 at 10:24 am

    It’s a mammal. Sure it lays eggs but so does the platypus. And it needs to be a mammal or else I can not be a wereGriffin and that would make me sad.

    • Robin De Tota says

      May 29, 2023 at 2:03 pm

      Don’t mammals suckle their young? I wouldn’t want to nurse anything with a beak.

      • Lynn says

        May 29, 2023 at 7:22 pm

        Maybe they have soft beaks when they are young? And they harden as they get older? After all chickens are born with teeth. Or rather a egg tooth that falls off so why couldn’t griffins be born with soft beaks that harden? And if they have a lion’s body they would have the necessary equipment to nurse.

        • Alyssa says

          May 31, 2023 at 4:38 am

          exactly. Lion torso means lion mammary glands. Definitely a mammal.

    • Kirsten says

      May 29, 2023 at 4:49 pm

      I’m not so sure about that–the were-alligator family of Hugh’s would disagree!

    55.56 % I will take that! fun quiz! thanks mod 4!

  44. Patricia Schlorke says

    May 29, 2023 at 10:31 am

    Thanks Mod R for the fun!

    I’m fine with the score I got considering I’m not feeling well and guessed on some of the answers.

    I think the ones we get right highlight in green quickly before going to the next question. If they’re wrong, they flash red real quick. 🤔

      May 29, 2023 at 11:01 am

      Don’t think so. Mine all flashed green (except the bonus) and my score was 55.56% That Mod R is soooo tricky!

      • Patricia Schlorke says

        May 29, 2023 at 11:33 am

        True, Mod R is very tricky.

        I wanted to throw it out there just in case the BDH starts a conspiracy thought. 😉

    Do griffins lay eggs or live young? That’s the answer

    • Moderator R says

      May 29, 2023 at 10:43 am

      On the contrary, I think that is the question! 😀

      • Grace says

        May 29, 2023 at 1:36 pm

        Actually, the question would be, do griffins lactate/possess mammary glands or not? If yes, then mammal, if no, then probably bird.

        Also, can you or House Andrews recommend a good book about Russian/Slavic/etc mythology? It’s much harder to find books about that, than about, say, Greek mythology.

        • Moderator R says

          May 29, 2023 at 1:39 pm

          I think the starting point there is definitely the Russian Fairy Tales collection by Alexander Afanasyev 🙂

    May 29, 2023 at 10:34 am

    Oh that was sooooo much fun, even though I pretty much flunked. Guess I need to start re-reading the ENTIRE series. Oh well, it was so much fun the first time, that a re-read isn’t going to be a chore. Maybe when I’m laid up after back surgery next month I can do a binge-read of KD.

    May 29, 2023 at 10:35 am

    33.33% and there i thought i did better … oh well… it has been a very dry reading season… so i guess a revisit is in order .. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
    thank you Moderator R… please make more….

    May 29, 2023 at 10:44 am

    Loved that – and the cat poster at the end!

    88.89% so would love to know which I misremembered!

    What’s the story behind the Gryphon question ModR? Who be ye arguing with?

    • Moderator R says

      May 29, 2023 at 10:47 am

      My friends, it got very heated at the weekend lol. We basically recreated the viral “The Wicked Witch of the East, bro!” https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/wicked-witch-of-the-east-bro (warning for very passionate shouting 😀 )

      I can divulge now that the griffin question does not influence the score hehe. I just wanted to see what people say 😀

    So much fun. ModR, hats off to you for coming up with a quiz that is hard to second guess and makes me laugh and want to choose all the answers! I have put in a good word for you with Chernabog. I also love that you are shipping Teddy Jo and Sandra.

    I thought my score wasn’t so great until I got here – 66.67%. Am I correct in suspecting T/F quizzes drive you crazy too?

  50. RITA says

    66.67%. Expected to score more.

  51. Angela Knight says

    May 29, 2023 at 10:53 am

    I enjoyed it. But you are a wicked woman — I want to know which ones I missed, since I got a 55.56. I felt bad about that until I saw a lot of people got the same. Considering how many times I’ve read or listened to the whole damn series, the fact you stumped me so often indicates you are indeed tricksy.

  52. Kari says

    May 29, 2023 at 10:53 am

    Super fun! Did poorly, but am not upset about it. (It’s been a while since I read many of the books.) Please do more. Can I see the correct answers somewhere? I have no idea what the answers are to some of them.

  57. laura says

    May 29, 2023 at 11:04 am

    Oops, my comment went in as a reply>>>

    88.89%. Pretty proud of that score! Mad that I missed one… and not sure which it is. I’m pretty sure griffins would birth rather than lay an egg so I said mammal, was that it? I didn’t run from the bird lady, was that my mistake? Ha ha. Is there an answer key somewhere? If not, I might need to do it again to get 100%! 😅

    Fun quiz!

  68. SilverJ says

    May 29, 2023 at 11:28 am

    Well, I suppose 66.67% can technically be rounded up to 66.7 because getting a 666, even with a decimal point would be just…weird. 😉 I, too, am curious about the real answers and I’m totally stealing the “badge” that popped up–except I dring coffe, not tea. Just sayin’…

    @mod R – Is there some sort of lore tracker you have access to, or did you just know these things?!?! incredible! (also, if there is a lore tracker, how would one go about inquiring about access to it? I’ve always wanted to run a dnd campaign set within Kate’s world but would be easier with some sort of cheat sheet)

    • Moderator R says

      May 30, 2023 at 1:24 am

      The lore tracker is being plugged into the BDH, I’m afraid 😅.
      Most of these are devised around bits people are recurrently confused about, because I like to do double duty with my quizzes hehe.
      For example, every now and again someone will post and say “Wouldn’t Kate just be able to defeat the Upir with Slayer in Magic Bites? It’s made of bone.”, so I knew there should be a trap question about him being afraid of bones in general, rather than specifically bones of his prey, which are actually the only ones that can affect him.
      And others are just subjectively the things I like the most, which obv will differ from person to person. You’ll notice a predilection for Eastern European mythology questions- because I’m Eastern European 😅.

  102. Colleen says

    May 29, 2023 at 6:52 pm

    Re-reading for the tenth time from Magic Triumphs:

    Christopher’s expression sharpened, growing somehow more fragile. “The two of you only remember the man in the cage. Before that I was the Legatus of the Golden Legion. I murdered my way to the top. I committed atrocities. And unlike Hugh, I have nobody to blame but myself. I own everything I’ve done. I did it because I wanted power. I must live with it. Hugh lives with his memories. It will be his choice to atone for what he has done, or not. But I’ve forgiven Hugh, because if I don’t forgive him, there is no hope for forgiveness for someone like me.”

    Can’t answer that. I’ve my own anchors.

      They exist but they’re not heavily featured in the books. We hear other descriptions of dragons at times, Persian dragons, proto-dragons etc, but I (semi-fairly) went with the ones that at least make a more substantial appearance- in fight scenes or memorable dragon kisses moments 😉

    i couldn’t resist some of your lovely choices Mod R, they deserved to be chosen despite being obviously fun answers (like a Lady deserves to grow feathers and chill in a tree) that totally cracked me up.
    Thank you for treating us to this fun quiz, I got 55,x% and a cat meme on top, had lots of fun and not enough dragons and really hope for more quiz posts in the future. Kudos to our KD encyclopedia, she of the cute avatars, our lovely Horde wrangler Mod R 🐲

    Huh. 66 percent. Guess I would not last that long, cuz I’d run up against something I didn’t know how to deal with, pretty quick like! Fun though. And made me think about the plots!

    i totally agree, keep the quizzes coming

    on a separate question and totally unrelated question, ” where is Grendel?” I don’t remember what happened to him.

      He’s alive and well, we see him in Magic Tides, frolicking in the yard of the new home 🙂

    If I were a character my name would be Whimzee Chaositty because I picked the fun answers without concern as to meaning. Fun, fun fun Mod R! Please don’t stop!

    Oooh. technically 6 dragons, but I’m currently reading Magic Shifts –
    “a draconic” I said, out of the frying pan into the fire.
    “why is that bad?” Julie asked.
    “there have been four documented sightings of a real dragon,” Luther said. “they are the UFOs of our age…
    So, how come if there are only 4 documented sightings Kate world books have managed 6?!? even if it is only technically.

      The answers are linked in a separate note 🙂.
      There are more books after Magic Shifts and Luther, against all evidence, does not know all.

    33%. Not so bad since I do tend to skip details and concentrate on the action when reading. I got into that bad habit as a teenager when I was into Harlequins, technical-sounding sci-fi books like Isamov, etc…

    • Moderator R says

      Kate and Curran get married in Magic Binds and their son, Conlan, appears in the next book, Magic Triumphs.
