Not sure if she'll have something that works, but the designer Megan Lapp makes lots of dragon/faerie/mythological patterns.

I haven't played any of those games, but I love all of those ami. Mind posting your insta? I'd love to see more.

For content, I've also fallen in love with crocheted toys lately and I'm working my way through the Unicorns, Dragons and More Fantasy Amigurumi books. I also have Dinosaurs, Mammoths and More Prehistoric Amigurumi up next. So far I've made:

Nessie the Loch Ness Monster

Kiki the Phoenix

And Lily the Water Nymph

I also made this little plague doctor who sits on my desk to keep me safe.

Thanks! Can never have too much yarn in my feed haha.

And thank you! I'm still fairly new to crochet, I've been trying to teach myself for a couple of decades but only got the hang of it in the last couple of years. I highly recommend the books, the instructions so far have been really clear and no issues.

This might not help and was definitely a sideways entry, but I finally got the hang of crochet by using it as a provisional cast on. I think it was being able to work the crochet stitch without needing a foundation/starting chain that did it, because I really struggled with getting a tidy, not-too-loose-or-tight foundation chain and gave up.

Seconding YouTube, that and googling for picture tutorials are how I teach myself everything. Sometimes I like static pictures better because I can move through them at my own pace and see the stitches super clearly, especially when the relevant stitch is highlighted.

By diagrams, do you mean charts? They're not as common ime but I find them a little harder to work from, I haven't got the hang of them yet so don't tend to look for them. You could probably try a Rav search with 'chart' in the instructions filter.
