welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
mythical creatures for this list we’ve
chosen some of the most famous creatures
of legend whether they’re known for
their beauty ferocity or magical powers
we’ve decided to combine one-off beasts
and species so let the Monster Mash
begin number 10 mermaid sirens succubi
and incubi no way what did these
mythical creatures have in common
they’re the seducers of legend
half-human half-fish mermaids along with
their distant relatives from Greek
mythology the sirens are a sailor’s
nightmare luring men to their deaths
with their beauty and music there is
nothing can consoled me but my jolly
sailor bull succubi and their male
counterparts the incubi are demons who
prey on sleeping victims for fun or
reproduction
so if these Enchantress’s are nearby
watch out
number nine composite species human
torsos on a horse’s legs a Bulls head on
a man’s legs a lion’s body with a human
face
there are many mythological composite
species that span the globe and cross
cultures
even the chimera which often combines a
lion snake and goat can be classified in
this category but while some have more
positive reputations than others
centaurs
minotaurs sphinxes and the like are all
fascinating creatures number eight the
Phoenix
a symbol of birth and rebirth this bird
is derived from Egyptian and Greek
mythology though many cultures have
their own version
Reagle colorful and an important figure
in early Christianity because of its
connection to Jesus’s resurrection the
Phoenix lives a long life after which he
dies by fire but from those ashes a new
Phoenix is born to continue its eternal
life
fascinating creatures phoenixes number
seven the unicorn
seize my magic nothing is as graceful or
pure as the unicorn a living embodiment
of virginity this horn horse is one of
the most positive mythical creatures
unlike those founded upon humanity’s
collective fear dating back thousands of
years the most popular representation is
a free creature roaming the woodland
song is a round ears
I can never have a pure of heart some
believe unicorns once existed but were
driven to extinction
perhaps because their horns were said to
have medicinal properties drinking the
blood of a unicorn will keep you alive
even if you are an inch from death but
at a terrible price number six the
Kraken and Leviathan
I’ll so bad
the seas are unsafe with either of these
monsters around the Leviathan is a
wriggling seven-headed Old Testament
serpent famed for its size the Kraken is
a giant squid that inhabits the waters
near Norway and Greenland waiting for
prey to float into its tentacles whether
created by God or Satan the legends are
unsure but they are some of the angriest
monstrosities to ever grace the ocean
floor
number five Bigfoot and Yeti it’s all in
how you look at it
in North America he’s Bigfoot or
Sasquatch in the Himalayas
he’s Yeti or the abominable snowman both
are giant half man half apes that wander
the wilderness only allowing a chosen
few to set their sights on him
photographic evidence footprints and
more have been located
supposedly proving the existence of this
legendary creature but most experts
agree it’s the misidentification of
other animals making this more a hoax
than a myth yeah number four dragons
dragons are basically huge lizards
except for the fire-breathing but the
Asian and European depictions of these
mythical creatures differ I have to
admit that hotel is a right nasty piece
of work in Asia they represent bravery
and wisdom in Europe a dragon is a giant
to be slayed
was it dinosaur bones that inspired this
legend or did someone mistake a
crocodile for something more sinister
either way these mythical reptiles have
inspired many storytellers throughout
the centuries number three the Loch Ness
monster get back in the boat
what up ray the legend of the Loch might
be coming back for the midnight snack
though she’s not the world’s only lake
monster she is the most famous Nessie
has been spotted many times since the
6th century and it started growling at
us I could tell it was looking straight
at us including the sightings in the
1930s that sparked the craze a common
theory is that she’s a surviving aquatic
dinosaur living in the depth of this
deep lake in the scottish highlands
whether or not she exists hopefuls camp
out in the hopes of catching a glimpse
for the last time there is no such thing
as the Loch Ness monster number 2
werewolves
as legend states if ever you’re bitten
or even scratched by a werewolf you will
be cursed too painfully transform into
one of these shape-shifting Wolfman
originating in English folklore a
popular version of this tale says
werewolves only transform at the full
moon with each full moon when he
transforms he no longer remembers who he
is kill his best friend if you cross his
path whether or not that’s the case once
they change they’re said to ravage and
savage anyone they encounter and
apparently silver is their kryptonite I
know where you can get a gun don’t I
need a silver bullet or something Oh be
serious would you before we unveil our
number one pick here are a few honorable
mentions
quickly what exactly are these things
they’re goblins Harry ever as they come
goblins without the most friendly of
beasts number one vampires and El
Chupacabra
I am the doc you let the legend of the
vampire is one that crosses many
cultures we all know them as undead
creatures that roam the countryside
looking for next to bite blood to suck
and people to seduce with their dark
powers I can see you lying on a piss
satin sets things
what’s its connection to El Chupacabra
he’s a creature said to roam Central and
North America attacking livestock and
guzzling their blood which gave him the
nickname the vampire Beast then there
Tupac Avada it comes and eats away
