I'm hoping Yamper's evo is a Black Shuck. There's at least four different regional black dog myths and people have a tendency to muddle them together under one name, but the Black Shuck is specifically a clawed dog that ran with the lightning through towns setting alight church spires and leaving burnt claw marks as it went. Historians believe it was horizontal or ball lightning that entered the church through the spire as a rod, and the resulting explosion of debris was what scorched the famous Bungay door/knocked pews down.
Other things I'd love to see would be a selkie seal (steal their coat and they're forced to stay on land as a wife, give it back and they become cute seal, compelled to enter the sea at the risk of being hunted. Males steal human wives as revenge) or a kelpie (take the form of horses or goats, they throw a rider into water with the intention of drowning them) for water types.
Pooka for fairy - they're almost as varied as saying 'fae', coming in the shape of little people, rabbits, goats, horses, sheep, deer, and even badgers. Pooka like kelpie will trick people into riding them on the way home from a night drinking, but instead of killing them they only want to give you a fright by dashing and bucking. They're mischievous and tsundere. They'll fix shoes and mill grain and sharpen knives for you in the night, but you mustn't watch them and they won't accept a present or thank you, but they do want to take something as payment. You just can't act like you're paying them or they get in a huff with you (and put things in trees, throw stuff about the barn, or hide them), therefore farmers leave a "pooka's share" at the corner of a field, so there is always crop the pooka can pinch from instead of being presented with it. The 1st November is Pooka's Day, when you pretend to discard a pooka's share from your harvest so the rest won't be taken. The pooka will grumble "what a waste" like he's doing you a favour by taking it.
