List of mythical creatures with pictures

The world is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. And many scientists today are saying that there are parallel worlds in which different entities, previously unseen, live. A fairy tale and myths - it's not fiction, but rather, even epic. That is why this article will present a list of mythical creatures that may have once lived, and maybe still live somewhere in the moment.

Unicorn

In this list, both positive and negative representatives will be studied. If good mythical creatures are considered, the list must necessarily open a unicorn. What is it? So, more often than not, it is a beautiful white horse with a pointed horn in its forehead. It is a symbol of chastity and struggle for justice. However, according to esotericists, a unicorn must be a creature with blue eyes, a red head and a white body. Previously, he could have been depicted with a bull or goat body and only later - horses. Also, legends say that unicorns by their nature have an inexhaustible supply of energy. Taming them is very difficult, but they dutifully lie on the ground, if a virgin approaches them. If you want to ride on a unicorn, you'll have to stock up with a gold bridle.

The life of unicorns is also very difficult. They eat exclusively flowers, drink only the morning dew, and bathe in the cleanest forest lakes (in which water after that becomes curative). In this case, all the power of these creatures is enclosed in a single horn (he is also credited with healing powers). Today they say: to meet a unicorn - to great happiness.

Pegasus

List of mythical creatures, similar to horses, can replenish and pegasus. It is a winged horse, the son of the jellyfish Gorgon and Poseidon. Its main function is to be on Olympus and give his father lightning and thunder. However, being on the ground, Pegasus knocked out Hippocrenus with his hoof - the source of the muses, which should inspire all creative people to useful deeds.

Valkyrie

It is also possible to consider separately the mythical creatures of the female. The list will be completed without fail by the Valkyries. These are virgin warriors who are companions and performers of Odin's will (the supreme god in German-Scandinavian mythology). These are some symbols of honorable death in combat. After the warrior fell, the Valkyries on their winged horses take him to the heavenly castle of Valhal, where they serve him at the table. In addition, the Valkyries can predict the future.

Other mythical creatures female

1. The Norns. These are spinning women who determine the birth, life and death of people.
2. Parks, or moury. These are three sisters, daughters of the night. They also predetermined the life of each person. Clota (the first daughter) spins the thread of life, Lachesis (the second daughter) - keeps her, Atropos (the third daughter) - circumcises.
3. Erinia. These are the goddesses of revenge, who are depicted with torches and pests in their hands. They encourage a person to take revenge for insults.
4. We continue to consider the female names of mythical creatures. The dryads can replenish the list. These are female tree guards. They live in them and die with them. And those who planted and helped the tree grow, were wards dryads. They tried their best to help them.
5. Grace. These are mythical creatures that personify young beauty and beauty. Their main goal was the excitement in the young hearts of girls of such a feeling as love. In addition, they brought joy to all who met on their way.

Birds

The list of mythical creatures must necessarily be replenished by various birds. After all, they also occupied leading positions in popular beliefs.

1. Phoenix. Today, many will say that this is a bird of happiness. However, earlier it embodied the immortality of the soul and the cyclical nature of the world, since it could give rebirth and itself was reborn, burning itself. The phoenix is represented in the form of an eagle with gold and red plumage.
2. Anka. This is a bird from the Muslim mythology, very similar in its functions and presentation with the phoenix. It was created by Allah, and for people it is inaccessible.
3. Rukhh. It is a giant bird, which in its claws (huge and strong, like a bull's horn) can be raised immediately by three elephants. It was believed that the meat of this bird returns the lost youth. In Slavic mythology, it was called Nog or Fear-rah.

Griffins and their like creatures

List of mythical creatures can continue monsters, which are the result of crossing two or more powerful animals.

1. First of all, these are griffins. They are winged creatures that have an eagle's head and a lion's body. They are the guards of gold and the treasures of the Ripaean mountains. Very dangerous is the cry of these monsters: from him all life in the district dies, even man.
2. Hippogriffs. This is the result of crossing the fungus's bird (the front part of the creature) and the horse (trunk). This creature also had wings.
3. Manticore. This creature that has a human face, crowned with three rows of teeth, the body of a lion and the tail of a scorpion. His eyes are bloodshot. It moves very quickly, but feeds on human bodies.
4. Sphinx. This is a creature that has the head and chest of a woman, and the torso of a lion. Them was called to guard. Each passing Sphinx was making a riddle. Who could not guess it, he was killed by this creature.

Dragons

What other mythical beings are there? The list can replenish monsters, outwardly somewhat similar to dragons.

1. Basilisk. This creature has eyes toads, a cock's head, bat wings and a dragon's body. In other stories it is a huge pangolin. From the sight of this creature, everything that is alive (if the basilisk glances at himself in the mirror, he dies). Poisonous is also its saliva, it can also be petrified. He lives in a cave, eats stones, leaves only at night. The main purpose of his life: the protection of unicorns, since they are "pure" creatures.
2. Chimera. This is the creation with the head and neck of the lion, the dragon's tail and the trunk of the goat. It is a symbol of a breathing volcano, as this monster spewed fire. Some people believe that modern stone chimeras can come to life and do business.
3. Continue to consider mythical creatures. The list can replenish the hydra. It is a monster with the body of a snake and nine heads of a dragon. She lived in a swamp near the town of Lerna and ate whole herds. Delivered the city from the hydra Hercules.
4. Kraken. This is a kind of sea snake, an Arab dragon. He could grab a whole ship with his tentacles, and his back protruded in the middle of the ocean like a huge island.

Russian mythical creatures

Let us consider separately the mythical creatures of Russia. This list can be opened by the Sinister. They were also called hmyrs, or cries. They live in swamps, they stick to people. They can even live in a person if they are old and have no children. Imitate darkness, poverty, poverty. In the house of the villain settle down behind the stove, and then jump on the shoulders to the person and ride on it. Another mythical creature is a hood. It's a mummer, a water trait. It's an unclean spirit that comes out of the water and loves to make fun of people, arranging them various dirty tricks. Especially active during Christmas time.

Greek Mythical Creatures

Separately, I also want to present a list of mythical creatures of Greece, the cradle of human civilization.

1. Typhon. This monster, which on its head has about 100 dragon heads with long black tongues. Can shout the voices of a variety of animals. This is a special embodiment of the destructive forces of nature.
2. Lamia is a demon with a feminine appearance that kills babies.

Fans of all the unusual can watch movies about mythical creatures. This list can be replenished with the following films:

1. "Jason and Agronauts", 1963 issue.
