What's a decent Android game where I can build up a base and command a bunch of mythical creatures without it being some kinda candy-coated BS?

Alright, so Call of Dragons, it gets the job done. You can build up your own base, which is cool, and the mythical creatures are a nice touch. It's not all rainbows and unicorns; it's got a bit of grit to it, which I appreciate. The controls are pretty straightforward, works even with gloves on. Now, the tutorial is useless, but once you figure it out, it's not bad. Graphically, it's built like a brick house, no fancy frills, but it holds up. My biggest gripe is the battery drain; gotta keep a charger handy. I've dropped my phone with this game running a couple times on the jobsite, and the game still runs fine, so that's a plus. Rain doesn't stop it either. Overall, it's a solid time-waster when you're waiting for concrete to dry.
