If Magical Creature Land wasn't real, I would create it. I would make the creatures and bugs and plants and land, stars and even storms but the storms wouldn't be bad so we couldn't go out and play. I would live there it would be by a mountain or out in the wilderness. I would make other things too like maybe a walke-talke that would contact anybody I know, just say their name when you push the button and they would answer.
