Is Lore's mascot the Wetiko/Baxbakwalanuxsiwae/Wendigo/Witiko, or Native American Cannibal Spiri? If so, I call Team Lore!

Paul Bunyan and Babe are like the unofficial mascots of Minnesota, so it would be fitting if I was on Team Legend!

OMG, I love these themes!! I'm seriously hyped for this to start.
One note though, I noticed that this literally starts THE day that I go to San Diego for a week.
Any way I could get a round one immunity or something?

Thought I might post this here, as it's appropriate for this upcoming contest's theme!
The Haunted Menagerie:
This is a walkthrough located by WDW's Haunted Mansion themed to the monsters of world mythologies! Guests enter a Dutch Gothic building and queue through a gallery of art depicting mythical beasts from all over the world. Then, guests meet their guide in a foyer then “descend” by “elevator” into the catacombs below The Haunted Mansion. Guests exit the elevator and enter a forest, similar to the kind found in the Pacific Northwest, with pines and lush vegetation abound. The guide remarks that this is the domain of the Sasquatch. The Sasquatch then shows up. Then, guests move along to Lyngvi Island, where Fenrir the wolf is bound in chains until Ragnarok. The guide tells the story of Fenrir, son of Loki. They tell of Tyr, the Norse god of war, who sacrificed his hand so Fenrir could be chained. They also tell that Fenrir is destined to eat the sun and moon during Ragnarok. Next, guests enter the marshes of Lerna, home of the Hydra that Heracles and his cousin Iolaus slayed. That story is brought to life before the eyes of guests with the guide narrating. The two heroes put cloths over their faces to protect themselves from the Hydra's venomous breath. Heracles shot arrows at each head as Iolaus burnt the stumps where the heads once were so that two heads don't grow back. (If you think this is too dark, just remember that this story is a scene in Hercules, sans Iolaus) Next, guests enter a Japanese forest where a young person stands. The guide tells guests that as a Fox ages, it gains tails and mystical power. When it gains nine tails, the Fox becomes a Kitsune and can transform into a person, usually a Woman. Sometimes, they go on to marry and live human lived. The person in the forest is revealed to be a Kitsune as orange fur grows on them and nine fox tails reveal themselves. Then, guests enter an Andean valley with giant feathers, talon marks, and signs of an earthquake. The guide tells guests that this is clearly the result of an Amaru's rampage. An Amaru is a giant serpent with feathered wings and talons. The Amaru swoops down, screeching and hissing. Guests then enter the Southern African desert, where elephants and snakes slither by. The guide tells of how the gods created a beast called The Grootslang before they created most animals, including humans. They made it too powerful and split it into two animals, the elephant and snake. However, one Grootslang got away. Soon, the guide leads guests into a cave lined with ivory and jewels with a giant beast sleeping within. Its upper half is an elephant and its lower half a snake. The room is an Australian billabong, home to the Bunyip. It has multiple snake heads, each with a wolf's snout, wings of some sort of bird of prey, a snake's body, a fox’s tail, and an ape's feet. It snarls at guests as the guide explains that the Bunyip takes many forms, Some people say it looks like a black seal--or a dog with claws and tusks or a duck's bill. One account says it looks like a crocodile with an emu's head. Another says it's like a cow with grey feathers. Guests then return to the catacombs and “ascend“ via “elevator” before leaving through the same building they entered from.

Good news. Your invitation for October 21st is now null and void. Instead, the manor's staff is preparing to open a week early on Friday, October 13, the luckiest day of the year, for the start of our little event.
As the hosts prepare for your arrival, we will be sharing more portraits and art leading up to an announcement of sign-ups. Keep your eyes peeled and your ears open as we draw closer to entering the Manor of Mysteries.

The sun hangs low over the horizon, it’s light expanding across the skies to create a beautiful array of colors, warm pinks and oranges that dance across the quickly darkening sky.
This beautiful sunset, one more beautiful and awe-inspiring than many can ever say they’ve seen, provides a brilliant backdrop to a grand manor. One who’s stone walls stretch farther than the eye can see; one who’s hedges sit perfectly trimmed though no person has occupied the manor in many many years; one who’s eerie foreboding beckons to those walking by to get a closer look.
This manor, one that will soon play host to a troop of brilliant visionaries and creatives, first beckons to all. Not just those expecting to be hosted within its mighty walls, but all who pass by. And should one follow the cobblestone walkway, push through the ajar iron gateway, and approach the solemn and sullen grounds of this manor, perhaps a first mystery shall reveal itself.
The grounds are meticulously maintained, no stone is left out of place, except for one. A single stone removed from a wall, just big enough to be noticed amongst the pristine environment. Behind this wall, from the hole left by the missing stone, a glowing light emanates. The light, not dissimilar to the ones cast by the setting sun, beckons those in, closer… and closer… and closer… until nothing blocks the vision behind the wall.
But what lies behind? It seems the answer is not quite ready to reveal itself. Though, should you pass this way on Wednesday September 20th, a special surprise for everyone, player or otherwise, may just reveal itself. Stay tuned

A cool gust of wind blows, carrying dried leaves of various colors across the cobblestone walkway ahead of the stone wall. A bright light continues to emanate from the gap where the missing stone should be, its powers captivating and magnetic, drawing you in as you cautiously approach.
Running your hand along the the jagged and rough stone, the golden light spilling out and illuminating your hand, you bend to peek through the gap. Curious, you squint your eyes to focus past the bright light, however, all you can see is the golden shimmering rays. Yet, as suddenly as the light appeared, the light vanishes, leaving you blinking in confusion, your eyes adjusting to what has just appeared before you: a lever.
With hesitation, you eventually pull the lever. Once you do, the wall begins to shake and rattle, a portion of it slowly swinging back to reveal a walkway through lush foliage. As you walk through, the sounds of birds and insects from the dense jungle fill your ears, the cool autumn air vanishing to be filled with the hot and humid air of a rainforest.
The cobblestone walkway transitions slowly into a vine-covered thicket, causing you to bend and twist as you move through in order to avoid being decapitated by a hanging branch. Yet, at the end of the jungly corridor sits a reprieve and as you push through the thicket, it reveals a small tropical oasis. A crystal blue lagoon surrounded by thatched roof shacks and bright pastel colored buildings adorns the clearing as macaws soar above and the calls of animals fill the air. Drum and guitar music echo throughout the clearing and a sense of wonder and mystery swell all around.
A woman wearing a smock and hands covered in flour approaches and takes your hand as if she was expecting you. She leads you to a hut where a single mahogany box sits on a table. Inside is a golden-plated slab with the words "Challenge Zero" carved into it. You grasp the slab and it slowly melts away revealing a piece of parchment that reveals a challenge.

*From the grave, you hear a groaning sound before a clawed hand suddenly emerges from the ground. It slowing pulls itself out, revealing a frightening-looking cat-man with visable wounds and the smell of decaying flesh. He turns to you, a flash of lighting illumiating his ghostly pale eyes and...*So, um... good news, I found out what happened to @Chaos Cat.
