A lot of fantasy and horror tales contain magic, or at least supernatural creatures, and never explain how they got there.

Pick a movie, book, comic, TV series or game — up to you! Just tell us how what the explanation was and why it worked. Also, please include pictures, links or clips! That makes it so much better.
