Pythium and Arco have a wide range of possible mythologically compatible gods. Aphrodite, Heracles, Hades, Hermes - none of these should be titan-sized (except maybe Hades), and none are represented by current pretenders. A souped-up Cerberus pretender might be interesting, too, and a Red Bull (Last Unicorn) for Man. Demoralized, feebleminded unicorns would flock to it=) I'd also like to see Tien Chi get a fake dragon (like you see in Chinese new years parades), Atlantis get Jaws (well, not really , and Mictlan/Machaka get a giant tortise.

Gods of most myths are human sized in some myths and giant sized in some. Gods begets offspring with Titans or Jotuns in one myth and with humans in the next. Zeus is the son of Kronos, who is a Titan. Hades and Zeus are brothers. The Aesir often marries Jotun daughters etc.

A human-sized god looks whimpy. Thus only human pretenders are human sized

There is a vast array of possible pretenders. I intend to make some more, but it's a matter of my whims. It is easier to sit down after work and read your Posts than making a new god . I have lists and notes on paper and in files of perhaps fifty units I would like to make, and if I added pretenders from different myths I would easily reach some hundred new critters. Unfortunately (for you, I'm OK with it) I have other jobs.
