How about based on Indian (Hindu) myths?

Or based on Native American or Eskimo myths?

A Zoroastrian/Persian type thing could be fun, too.

Or some sort of race that normally inhabits another plane of existence/dimension but has managed to manifest themselves on “this” plane/dimension. I'm thinking of something supernatural, but not undead.

Arabian knights type stuff would also be very cool.

Just some vague stabs in the dark...
