I thought that Middle Earth was supposed to be this earth, albeit during one of its mythic pasts.
Taking that line of thought, we have the Greeks with their plethora of creatures, as well as the Dark and Middle Ages, which still have werewolves, vampires, dragons, not to mention unicorns, hippocampi, basilisks, etc.
