The most mysterious legendary creatures in the world (Part 2) 4
Mythical creatures often appear in non-historical stories, folklore or supernatural legends.
The origins of many legendary creatures can be found in writings from the Middle Ages.
Each period has a series of the most legendary and mysterious creatures on Earth.
Typhon
It is said to be the largest creature with the strangest shape ever known: a human body with hundreds of different snake tails.
After battles on a cosmic scale, Zeus used thunder to crush Typhon under the Etna volcano.
Goddess Nymph
They are pure creatures of the mountains and forests, born from ancient trees, rivers or caves.
Nymphs move very fast, have the ability to be invisible, and when provoked, they can create tornadoes that blow things away.
Catoblepas
According to ancient Greek mythology, Catoblepas was a monster with the body of a buffalo and the head of a cow.
The weapon that makes Catoblepas legendary is the ability to kill prey with their breath and gaze.
Aspidochelone
In Greek mythology, it is a giant turtle.
Only when there is fire on its back, the turtle will dive deep to the bottom of the sea, drowning sailors and destroying ships, and this is also how Aspidochelone eats its prey.
Aspidochelone is so large that its shell can turn into an island and there are plants and even animals that exist on this mobile island.
Phoenix – Fire Phoenix
This bird is depicted as burning brightly against the dark background of the forests.
The firebird is a magical bird that glows brightly from the depths of the forest and can bring blessings to its owner.
The Firebird is described as having the appearance of a large bird with bright plumage that emits red, orange and yellow light that blend together like a giant flame.
