And rephrasing. Is lo crami just "participe be lo se ranmi" or not?

Is lo crami just "participe be lo se ranmi" or not? Maybe Hercules and, less plausibly, King Arthur. In current legends, probably not Napoleon. But I suppose that it is all subjective. This word is basically meant to be crida, but not restricted humanoids. I view crida to be "remsmi()crami". This word includes unicorns, centaurs, manticores, ogres, dragons, vampires, monkey-tigers, the Loch Ness monster, magic fish, ghost mushrooms, flobberworms, Hobbits, winged-horses, griffins, hippogriffs, basilisks, elves, etc. It excludes magic/mythological items (horns that bring back the dead, swords that only take in that which makes them stronger, Horcruxes, the Holy Grail, etc.) or materials (mythril, etc.), or the magic/divinity which may embue some items/materials (hydrargum, gold, lead, consecrated objects). The creatures do need to appear in any particular story- or even a well-defined "tale" with a plot. They can be urban legends or bogeyman (but not necessarily humanoid). A culture just needs to have a sense of their existence and they have to be somewhat "living/animate", and they cannot actually exist.
