    Yes, speaking of this:
    "The current best fits are the Xenocrysth, a character from another comic, and the protean."
    vs
    "The current best fits are the Xenocrysth, a character from another comic and the protean."
    Oxford commas: sometimes, they increase ambiguity.
    (I am not suggesting those three are the actual best fits - the example just works best with a list of three)

    Deep in the corners of your mind
    Where reality is an intruder
    And myth and legend thrive
