Top Ten Mythical Beasts

The Top Ten
1 Dragon A dragon is a legendary creature, typically with serpentine or reptilian traits, that features in the myths of many cultures.

Dragons are the most badass mythical beasts. They can breathe fire, fly, breathe other substances, and their scales are extremely strong.

Dragons are single-handedly the most awesome, best, and coolest in the world. I love drawing them and writing about them. The myths are the most epic! They breathe fire and are perceived in different ways. They are featured in many mythologies and cultures. They are the best. If they exist, that would be awesome (unless they want to kill us). Dragons are also fierce. Sometimes, they can transform into humans, and in some myths, people could reach a certain level and become one!

It just says that ancient dragons are aged 801 years or more. Going by that, 1200 years would be a fair estimate of the likely maximum lifespan of a dragon. When using their magic, dragons can also forge a blade with their breath. Frost Breath - In addition to fire, some dragons are also capable of breathing a stream of ice from their mouth that can freeze anything it hits. Flight - Dragons have giant bat-like wings which they use to fly and capture prey.

2 Phoenix A mythical bird from Greek mythology, the Phoenix is said to burst into flames upon death and be reborn from its ashes. Often associated with themes of rebirth and immortality, it is traditionally depicted as a large, colorful bird with a melodious song.

"Their tears have healing powers." Phoenixes are amongst the strongest and most durable of supernatural creatures. They are quite powerful and almost impossible to kill. Spontaneous Combustion/Incineration Touch - In human form, a Phoenix can incinerate anyone or anything with a single touch. Phoenixes are only 'immortal' in the sense that they can never die of old age, rising from the ashes each time. In every other way, they are as easily killed as a large, particularly bright eagle. When it dies, it immolates itself, and then a new Phoenix rises from the ashes.

Phoenixes are super cool mythical creatures. They are beautiful and represent amazing myths. I love them so much that my wallpaper for all my devices features them. I love birds, and hearing about a bird made out of fire that can be reborn has made me so excited. I actually think they are real.

To be honest, I do not really like fire. I am more into ice. But this mythical creature is the most interesting, the most beautiful, and the strongest of all by so far. I would like to meet one of them one day...

3 Kraken The Kraken is a legendary sea monster of giant size that is said to dwell off the coasts of Norway and Greenland.

The giant squid cannot destroy ships the size krakens can. In fact, they don't even come to the surface enough to do that. Krakens have to be almost 5 times the size of giant squids.

The Kraken should be #1. It's so kickass, tearing ships into two, and it's been proven to be REAL! Yup, the Giant Squid is the Kraken!

They look twice as harmful as a Chupacabra.

4 Hydra

In Bakugan, there's a Bakugan called Hydranoid, which at first has a single head. Over time, however, it evolves into Dual Hydranoid, which has 2 heads. Its final evolved form, Alpha Hydranoid, has three heads. The Hydra itself is really cool in Greek and Roman mythology. Next to the dragon, the Hydra is my favorite mythical beast of all time.

I wish the hydra was my pet. I just want to cuddle with a spawn of Satan. I'd most likely die, but I want a Hydra. IT'S AWESOME.

It is a three-headed animal which scares people by the sight of its three heads.

5 Griffin

Whenever I think of griffins, I always think of that one scene from The Chronicles of Narnia when that one griffin is turned to stone and falls out of the sky and dies. But I love griffins.

Griffins are the best by far! But I'm not surprised that Dragons are higher than Griffins. I mean, who doesn't like a giant, flying, fire-breathing lizard? Apparently, no one tends to think about the fact that Dragons EAT humans. I mean, I know for one thing I don't think about that, and I still love them! But Griffins are just awesome in general! I think they're the best, and you should too!

The king of beasts and the sky. They are very handsome beasts and are equally proud. A griffin is definitely the best of all mythical beasts!

6 Unicorn

Unicorns are notoriously hard to catch, which is probably why we see so few of them. They are afraid of Labradors and have been known to attack them, although they become docile around pheasants. The magical powers of unicorns are also legendary. Unicorn horns are said to be harder than diamonds, and unicorn tears are believed to have the power to heal both physical wounds and sorrows of the heart.

Some myths say that if you capture it, it will grant you a wish. Others say that its horn can be a wand if broken off. Even some say that seeing one will give you good luck. But the one I want to talk about is in Roman Mythology. In Roman myths, the powder from a unicorn's horn can heal poisons, acids, and lethal wounds.

By far the best out there, dragons are scared of these creatures, so they definitely get my vote. I hope the rest of you agree and share my opinion.

7 Werewolf A werewolf or lycanthrope is a mythological or folkloric human with the ability to shapeshift into a wolf or a therianthropic hybrid wolf-like creature, either purposely or after being placed under a curse or affliction.

Werewolves dislike the smell of a plant called wolfsbane and will stay away if it's nearby. They also hate to be around objects made from silver or iron. As with their rivals, the vampires, werewolves are immortal. The original werewolf survived over 800 years of captivity with no food or water in what appeared to be a type of hibernation. They possess enhanced senses of smell, hearing, and sight that are superior even to those of wolves, not just humans.

Professor Remus Lupin had a sad, sad story. He was only a boy walking through the Forbidden Forest when, out of nowhere, a werewolf jumped out, bit his arm, and now every full moon (if he sees the moon) he turns into a creepy, hideous werewolf. The end. This was a real story, no joke.

Did you know that, according to Eastern European legend, werewolves come out to party (i.e., kill sheep) from December 25 to January 6?

8 Basilisk

A pet basilisk is cool. When anyone gets in my room to see what I'm up to (I'm the person who said I'm a Vampire, and I'm so proud), my pet basilisk will look at him or her, and they will become one of my favorite statues. So, basilisk is in my top 3 with vampires and leviathan.

This creature can be people's worst nightmare - I mean, a giant snake?! Cool! They vary in size and have unique appearances and powers. I don't think I've ever seen one with legs, though. In my opinion, that would ruin the entire look.

I love snakes, and this is just a big snake. It looks very huggable, even if hugging it would be the last thing I do.

9 Pegasus

Pegasus is a white-winged horse that sprang from the neck of the Gorgon Medusa when Perseus beheaded her. The name Pegasus is derived from the Greek "pegai," which means "springs" or "waters," and Chrysaor's name means "the golden sword." Pegasus was an immortal, winged horse that sprang from the neck of the beheaded Gorgon Medusa. It was tamed by Bellerophon, who rode it into battle against the fire-breathing monster known as the Chimera. Pegasus winged his way onto Olympus, where he became the thunderbolt-bearer of Zeus.

My comparison of Pegasus to the great art of the flying horse in Clash of the Titans. In the film, Pegasus is white and under the power of the evil lord named Calibus. Pegasus waits to be saved. Pegasus saves his man named Perseus and returns to his lost power. My favorite Pegasus from the film Clash of the Titans.

My first encounter with Pegasus was in the film Clash of the Titans. The white flying horse, Pegasus, demonstrated power and cleverness unmatched by any other. This film's portrayal of Pegasus truly highlights its power.

10 Kitsune

Kitsune are often portrayed as wild, occasionally wicked foxes who delight in mischief, pranks, or evil. They are often seen as tricksters or sometimes even powerful sorcerers who use their abilities for evil. Even so, they are known to keep their promises, repay any debts, and remember friendships. There are thirteen different kinds of Kitsune, each with a corresponding element, listed as follows: Heaven (or Celestial or Prime), Void (or Dark), Wind, Spirit, Fire, Earth, River, Ocean, Mountain, Forest, Thunder, Time, and Sound.

In Naruto, one of the main characters has the power of a fox. In Pokemon, the designers were inspired by kitsune for the design of Ninetails. Everyone would want a kitsune's powers and to stay young and live at least 1,000 years.

Number 2 should be kitsune because every time a kitsune gets more tails, it becomes stronger. It can breathe fire for a short distance, and the heavenly kitsune is very powerful. It's one of the mythical creatures for people who really know mythical creatures.

The Contenders
11 Leviathan

What the hell? No doubt, this should be number #1. Who wouldn't agree? I just don't understand.

I'm sorry, but how is the Kraken higher than the Leviathan on this list?

He appears to be a whale-looking shark. Why isn't he number 1?

12 Centaur A centaur, or occasionally hippocentaur, is a mythological creature with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse.

A centaur is a mythological creature, half human and half horse. Good appearance of a centaur in the series Xena, Warrior Princess. A centaur has slow speed but great power.

I've heard of those before but not their name. Only one time.

I feel like in a way they almost aren't beasts.

13 Minotaur
14 Vampire

Vampires crave the blood of the living, whom they hunt during the night. Vampires are potentially immortal, but they do have a few weaknesses. They can be destroyed by a stake through the heart, fire, beheading, and direct sunlight, and they are wary of crucifixes, holy water, and garlic. Although they can last weeks without blood, more than two months will result in them becoming extremely weak and decomposing.

This should really be higher. Vampires are really cool, not just because of sucking blood, but because of unique behaviors such as waking up in light, turning into bats, and being rather calm yet dangerous people. And yes, I should give credit to the blood thing because it is also a unique behavior. Also, Count Dracula is an insanely good example of how awesome vampires are.

Come on, they're vampires. Just vote for them NOW!

15 Banshee

A terrifying but incredibly fascinating chance at stories to tell around the campfire.

Tell Banshee stories around the campfire. It's great.

16 Wyvern

It's simply the best and requires no explanation.

Wyverns are so cool, and I like that they are like dragons but really not.

Wyverns are strong dragons that come in three powers Lightning poisoning and fire

17 Cerberus

My comparison to the three-headed Cerberus in Clash of the Titans. Apologies for my last post. In Clash of the Titans, the film depicts Cerberus with two heads instead of three. In the film, Cerberus guards the gate to the place of Medusa. Medusa, in the same way, is a Gorgon.

Cerberus is the 3-headed huge dog from Greek mythology! Lives in the underworld and is epic!

I feel bad for it. When you die, you should really give it a doggie treat as you pass by.

18 Loch Ness Monster The Loch Ness Monster (also known as Nessie) is an aquatic creature which reputedly inhabits Loch Ness (a lake in Scotland). Nessie is one of the most famous cryptids in history. The earliest report of the monster was in A.D. 565 where Irish monk Saint Columbia was the first person to record having seen a monster in the loch. But modern interest in Nessie only really took off in the 1900s... read more
19 Bigfoot In North American folklore, Bigfoot or Sasquatch are said to be hairy, upright-walking, ape-like creatures that dwell in the wilderness and leave footprints.

Alright, we got an issue here. Sasquatches are 100% real, and I will not be changing this belief.

20 Yeti

The Yeti, or Snowman, is the oldest legendary big monkey. I compare the Yeti to the big man-style monkey in the serial Xena: Warrior Princess, Season 4, episode The Way. The monkey Yeti man, named HANIMAN, in this episode has great speed, jumping ability, and strength. My comparison is the Yeti (HANIMAN).

21 Mermaid (Sea Nymph) A mermaid is a legendary aquatic creature with the head and upper body of a female human and the tail of a fish.

If I could turn into anything that could swim so powerfully and so fast, it would be a mermaid. If I were a mermaid, I would swim as well as Ariel in The Little Mermaid and make friends with other sea creatures.

The Sea Nymph Mermaid is a beautiful female fish who lives in water. She is very fast and uses her magic to lift bodies of water. She possesses very powerful magic.

22 Golem

I like golems because there are different types like regular, ice, molten, root, and more! They are one of my favorite mythical creatures. In Super Scribblenauts, I would always make mythical creatures like him.

We need more Golems in Minecraft.

The Golem is a beast from Prague.

23 Nemean Lion
24 Gorgon

Great discovery: Gorgon is in the game Drakensang Online. Compare the Gorgon woman of the film Clash of the Titans and the men and women in the game Drakensang in the crash empire of Atlantida, astral water world in the sea and island.

A Gorgon is a creature with hair made of snakes. If you meet her gaze, you turn to stone. She is armed with many weapons and can fly.

Gorgon is the sister of Medusa.

25 Chupacabra

Very cool monster, but the problem is that we have no idea what kind of monster it is. It might be an alien, a mange dog, or something else entirely.
