Basilisk (poisonous lizard, chicken snake)
Like dragons, unicorns, and giants, poisonous lizards are a kind of monster that everyone is familiar with, and they have appeared in a large number of historical materials. The word "Basilisk" comes from the Greek word "Basiliskos". It means "little king". The first detailed description of this monster was made by the Roman scientist Pliny, whose Natural History contains more than 60 ancient accounts of poisonous lizards (mostly from ancient Greece), of which Book 13 is more detailed, with Pliny first describing another monster that can kill with his eyes (see Catoblepas). And only then do we begin to introduce poison lizards:
“...... The poisonous lizard has the same ability, it is found in the province of Cyrenaica (note: ancient Libya is northeast of the Mediterranean Sea, ruled by the Greeks in the 7th century BC, and became a Roman province in the 1st century BC), about 12 inches long, with a bright white spot on its head, like a crown. It is fearless when confronted by other snakes, and will hiss and make threatening noises to scare off incoming enemies. It doesn't meander like a snake, but it bulges through the middle of its body. Not only can the poisonous lizard kill or scorch grass and trees and crush rocks through contact, but it can also be merciless to other animals. Someone once stabbed a poisonous lizard with a spear on horseback, but the toxin quickly spread along the spear to the person's body, and his horse Zuihou fell to the ground and died. Despite the fact that the creature was very deadly, many kings hoped to get their hands on a specimen of it after its death. The venom of a venom lizard is one of the most poisonous things in nature. ”()
The ancient Greeks named poisonous lizards "king" for about three reasons: first, their heads had white spots, like a crown, and second, the ancient Egyptian scholar Herapolo recorded in his writings: "The creature that the Greeks called 'Basilisk' was called 'Quraion' in Egypt, and the Egyptians cast the appearance of this creature in gold and placed it on the head of the god", it is obvious that the poisonous lizard was a symbol of sacredness and nobility in the eyes of the ancient Egyptians. The sphinx has a cobra-like mark carved on its forehead, and the poisonous lizard usually haunts the desert, but this does not mean that it likes to live in the desert, but because its eyes and breath are so destructive that the place where it lives cannot escape the fate of desertification, so the "poisonous lizard" has become synonymous with "tyrant". The Greek word "Basileus" means "king of the nations" and "Basiliskos" means "little tyrant". These words have a derogatory connotation. Poison lizards are also often seen in stories of inappropriate behavior, such as Shakespeare's Macbeth and Homer's epic poems. ...,
Many believe that venomous lizards are actually Egyptian cobras, with white spots on their heads, and are so venomous that they can spew venom to death, and they will hold their heads high before attacking, features that have been greatly exaggerated by rumors.
The skin of poisonous lizards is said to repel snakes and spiders, and the skins of poisonous lizards were once hung at the entrances of the temples of Apollo (the sun god) and Diana (the goddess of the moon and the hunt) to ward off snakes, spiders, and dark life. In Renaissance alchemy, it is recorded that rubbing silver with the ash of a poisonous lizard can turn silver into gold.
In Greek mythology, it was mentioned that the poisonous lizard came from the blood of the gorgon Medusa, and after Medusa was killed by Perseus, its blood fell on the human body and became a poisonous lizard, so the poisonous lizard could kill with its eyes. There are three ways to kill a poisonous lizard: first, to use a mirror like Perseus, second, according to records from the third century B.C., the weasel is a natural enemy of the poisonous lizard, and if the poisonous lizard is thrown into the weasel's hole, the weasel will smoke the poisonous lizard to death with a stench, and third, according to Claudius Ailian's Animal Habits (1st century AD), the rooster's crow can kill the poisonous lizard, which is the first time that people associate the rooster with the poisonous lizard. Since then, the legend of the poisonous lizard has gradually changed.
After the fall of the Roman Empire, the legendary poisonous lizard ceased to be a highly venomous snake, as Lawrence Blenner once explained: "After the collapse of the Roman Empire. Regular links between Europe and Africa can no longer be maintained. In the centuries that followed, the continent's legends became more and more outrageous, and medieval Europeans began to imagine the lizard as a feathered monster. At this time, the poisonous lizard began to be "indigenous", from an African specialty to a ubiquitous creature, and it is said that England was once full of poisonous lizards.
Legend has it that the birth of poisoned lizards is very special, and the earliest record appears in the "Book of Isaiah" in the Old Testament: "They broke the eggs of vipers and weaved spiders' webs. The person who swallows the egg will find a poisonous lizard inside after crushing the wind egg. There are many references in subsequent Bible writings, but they are all inconsistent and even the opposite. The legend of the birth of the poisonous lizard, as it is now widely known, appears in a book written by Alexander Neckam in the 80s of the 12th century, but is not included in the section "Poisonous lizard" but in the section "Rooster". It is hatched from a toad, with the upper half of the body of a chicken and the lower half of the body of a snake, "and its eggs must be laid in the days of Sirius." Inseminated on a 7-year-old. The egg is easily recognizable: it is not an ordinary ovate, but spherical, without a shell, but covered with a thick layer of skin. And the egg must be hatched by a toad in order to hatch this venomous monster - a snake with the characteristics of a toad and a rooster. ”
At the same time, the name "Cockatrice" (chicken snake) began to be equated with "Basilisk", appearing in abundance in paintings, coats of arms, carvings, buildings (as decorations for churches) of the medieval period, which had the head and legs of a rooster, the tail of a snake, and a body like a bird. But instead of covering the feathers, it was covered with the scales of the snake. Interestingly, despite its proliferation in artworks, there are very few stories about it, perhaps because it is too powerful to kill with its gaze to find its place in literature (Medusa also only turned people to stone with her gaze). Some of the chicken snakes can be found in modern fantasy novels, as well as in Square Enix's classic Final Fantasy series.
Bean-nighe (Laundry Ghost)
Another name for the witch (Banshee), meaning "washerwoman", appears in Irish, Scottish and Brittany legends, where it is called "washerwoman". It's because people often see her washing some blood-stained coats by the river. Her feet were webbed like ducks and geese, and in Scottish Highland legend only the dying could see her, and if she was seen before she could find herself, one could escape. If she is found after she comes to the door, she will surely die. ...,
Behemoth (Behemoth)
The beast as recorded in the book of Job in the Old Testament. Verses 15 to 18 read: "This is Behemoth, which I have created, which eats grass like an ox, and whose liliang is concentrated at the loins, and on the abdomen near the navel." Its tail is as straight as a fir tree, its muscles are as strong as a stone, and its bones are as hard as copper and iron. Verse 23 reads: "It has sucked up an entire river without haste, and it could have swallowed the whole of Jordan in its mouth if it wanted to." Many scholars believe that Behemoth was actually based on a hippopotamus because it is known from the records that it lived in water, was herbivorous, and had a large mouth, while others believe that Behemoth was an elephant-like creature. Etymologically, the word "behemoth" is the plural form of the Hebrew word "bhemah", which means "beast" and can be used to denote all huge, bulky, and unknown animals.
Behemoth is often associated with another monster, Leviathan (see Leviathan), and the account of Leviathan follows the next chapter of Behemoth in the book of Job. In the sixth chapter of the book of Israel, an apocryphal text of the Old Testament, it is recorded that God created mountains and seas on the fifth day of the creation of the heavens and the earth, and on the sixth day he created Behemoth and Leviathan out of clay, and that when the end of the shijie comes, Behemoth, Leviathan, and perch (see Ziz) will be the food of the holy ones together. Enoch's prophecy also describes the two monsters together: "On that day two monsters will be separated, the female is called Leviathan, which dwells in the abyss of the fountain, and the male, who is called Behemoth, who occupies the whole of Dandeon Desert." ”
Medieval legend Behemoth became the demon of Si Dark, and some believe that it was the embodiment of Satan.

It is said that Berdak only harasses naughty children, and in order to prevent it from burrowing through the chimney, salt can be sprinkled in the fireplace, because Berdak hates walking over salt.
There are also two similar monsters, also of Scottish origin, one being Bogie. This type of pokemon usually hides in cupboards and closets, loves the dark, loves to play pranks, and can deform, for example, into a large pile of dust. The other was Boggart, who was often dressed in tattered and dirty clothes, with thatched hair, who was fond of mischief and calamity, and who had no way to get rid of it once he had settled. Even if you move, it will be hidden in the furniture and brought to the new house.

It is said that the person who holds the Divine Bottle/Divine Lamp will be sent to Hell after death, so the owner of the Divine Bottle/Divine Lamp always tries to deliberately throw it away, but it will come back on its own every time. The only way to get rid of the Bottle/Lamp is to sell it cheaply. ...,
Brownie
A kind elf in Scottish legend. A type of mischievous (see Hobgoblin). "Brown" means brown and is called "Brownie" because this elf always wears a brown ragged outfit. Their faces are small and flat. The nostrils are also small, but the hair is long, and they like to live alone, sometimes in groups. Like many other mischievous spirits, the Brown Elves are not very fond of pranks, they want to live in harmony with people, and if you haunt them, they will help you with household chores, but you can't pay them, they will disappear forever if you pay them, and you can only repay them in other ways, such as deliberately leaving some food (e.g. their favorite milk) where they may pass. If the Brown Elves are insulted (they are sometimes vulnerable), they will leave you and take away your good fortune, and if they are badly hurt, they will transform into the Boggart mentioned above, causing you constant trouble.
Some believe that the brown elves were actually a missing race from the Neolithic period, forced to flee underground due to external aggression, while others believe that they were descendants of the ancient Roman patron saint of the family, Lar.

Later fairy tales such as "Puss in Boots" and Cheshire in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland were based on it.
Catoblepas
When the poisonous lizard (see Basilisk) was described above. We mentioned Cato Brepas. Pliny's introduction to the lizard was the first thing he described in his Natural History, and he described Cato Brepas as being born at the source of the Nile, "small and bulky, with insensitive limbs, but with a surprisingly large head, which often hangs its head on the ground, or threatens to kill all life around it." ”
"Catoblepas" means "xiangxia to see" in Greek, and its gaze and breath can kill people, like poisonous lizards. Its body resembles a cow. It has thick, hard skin and feeds on highly poisonous shrubs, which some believe to be based on wildebeest (a cattle-like oryx native to South Africa). Because you can kill people with your gaze, it came to the Middle Ages. Cato Brepas is also considered to be one of the basilishes.
Cecrops
The legend of the first king of Athens, possessed the body of a man, the tail of a serpent. Legends about him are recorded in Virgil's Aeneid, Book 5, Homer's Odyssey, Book 11, and Hesiod's Theogony.
Centaur
In Greek mythology, Centaur was a half-human, half-horse monster created by the Thessari king Ixion and the clouds (Ixion, who was punished by Zeus on the never-ending wheels of hell for his reckless pursuit of the love of Hera, the queen of heaven). There are many classifications of Centaur, some have a human body and limbs, but extend the torso and hind legs from the waist to the back, some have a pair of wings, and some have a pair of horse ears, from which the names Onocentaur, Bucentaur and Leontocentaur are derived. Except for the Caron of the Kentaurus (Botau learned centaurs. Aside from the teachers of Achilles, Hermes, and Asclepius, who gave their lives to save Prometheus) and the lower Pukhlos, most of the Centaurs are associated with alcoholism, violence, and pornography. Centaurs have also been found in some ancient sculptures and paintings in the Near East, where the half-man and half-horses were usually dressed as hunters, with bows and arrows as their main weapons, and worshipped by the people of the Near East as their patron saints. During the Middle Ages, the Centaur became a regular visitor to works of art, such as the famous Bayeux Tapestry (a town in northwestern France, near the English Channel, where the Bayeux Tapestry is preserved in an exhibition hall that chronicles the Norman conquest of England in 1066). ...,
Cerberus
Descendants of Ekadna (see Echinda) and Typhon (see Typhon). The hell watchdog in Greek mythology, this dog has three heads (50 heads are recorded in Hesiod's Theogony, reduced to 3 for ease of carving), a mouth dripping with poisonous saliva and a dragon tail growing underneath. The hair on his head and back was full of coiled poisonous snakes. One of Hercules' missions was to bring it back from hell, and Hercules wore only a cuirass. Dressed in a lion's skin, he subdued it and brought it back to the sun, where Cerberus was so frightened that he spat out poisonous saliva when he saw the sun, and the poisonous saliva dripped to the ground and turned into a highly poisonous aconitum grass. In addition to Hercules, Orpheus, the son of the sun god Apollo, also defeated Cerberus, and according to legend, Orpheus was good at playing the harp, whose sound could move plants, beasts and stones, and in order to save his wife Oredicor from hell, Orpheus used the harp in his hand to make Cerberus fall asleep. ()
Virgil says that Cerberus has three throats, Ovid says that its cry is a trio, and Butler compares it to the triple crown of bishops (the bishop is the gatekeeper of heaven, and Cerberus is the watchdog of hell). In Norse mythology, there is also a group of Cerberus named Garm, who have four blood-stained eyes and a fierce temperament, and like Cerberus, guard the gates to hell. The dogs of the god of the Yama religion also have four eyes, and the hells of the Rakhmen and Buddhism are also full of dogs, and they are all torturers of souls.
Cetus
"Cetus" means "whale" in Latin, and she is a sea monster created by the gods in Greek mythology, with the body of a dolphin, the tail of a fish, and the head of a dog. Kasiobia, the wife of the Ethiopian king Kephes, thought that her daughter Andromeda was more beautiful than the sea fairies, the daughter of Nereus, the god of the sea, and the sea fairies were furious. Fifty of their sisters brought in Poseidon, the god of the sea, and flooded the kingdom. At the same time, it was announced that the kingdom could only be saved by throwing Andromeda to the Siren Setus to feed, so the king had to tie Andromeda to the rocks in the sea where the Siren Setus was infested. Perseus, the son of Zeus, fell in love with Andromeda when he saw her, and in order to save Andromeda, he killed Setus and turned it to stone with the head of the gorgon Medusa.
Chimera
A descendant of Equitena (see Echinda) and Typhon (see Typhon), "Chimera" means "goat" in Greek, possessed the body of a sheep, the head of a lion (Hesiod's Theogony says it had three heads), and the tail of a serpent, breathing fire, and was eventually killed by Bellelo on a flying horse. It is also said to be a descendant of the hydra Shüdra. Or that it was born of Ekadna and her son, a two-headed dog. It is often found in medieval narrative poetry, painting, sculpture and architecture.
There are many theories about the origin of Kemira, but the more realistic theory is that it was found in the Lycian volcanic region, where snakes are abundant at the foot of the volcano and goats are abundant on the higher slopes. The desolate summit is a volcanic crater with lions, so Kemira may be a metaphor for the area.
In addition, "Kemira" also means "delusion, whimsy" in English, and it is indeed "whimsy" to be able to piece together snakes, goats, and lions, which are not related to each other.
Cyclops
In Greek mythology, the three storm gods who lived on the island of Sicily, Brontes, Sterops, and Arges, all belonged to the family of giants and were characterized by "one-eyed", with only one eye in the middle of their foreheads. These cyclops were imprisoned in Tartarus (the abyss beneath Hades) and became three brilliant blacksmiths in later legends. Help Hephaestus, the god of fire and forging, forge an artifact, and legend has it that the lightning in Zeus' hands was forged by these three giants. In the original mythology, they were the sons of Oranos, and later evolved into the sons of Poseidon, the god of the sea, and eventually broke away from the system of gods to become a separate Cyclops race, a race characterized by a rough and cannibalistic race, which is told in Homer's Odyssey. ...,
Doppelganger (Doppelganger) ()
"Doppelganger" means "two people walking together" in German, and here it refers to another invisible self hidden in everyone's psyche. Theoretically, only oneself can see one's doppelganger, but this half is impossible for the human eye to catch (seeing one's doppelganger is a bad omen.) It is said that Queen Elizabeth I of England, on her deathbed, claimed that she saw another self and died after saying that), only kittens and puppies can see its existence. The doppelganger does not leave any reflection in the mirror, nor does it cast a shadow, but it stands behind the person at all times. Monitor people's every move and pour their own suggestions into people's brains or infiltrate people's hearts. Thus forming thoughts.
The appearance of the doppelganger is usually malicious, sucking the energy of the original body, and even killing the original body, so some games make it a specific monster, similar to a "clone".

Legendary dragons are often the caretakers of treasures.
The dragons of the East are mostly symbols of nobility, sacredness and auspiciousness, while the dragons of the West are mostly evil, and there are stories of heroes slaying dragons in the heroic epics of the West, such as Greek mythology, Germanic mythology, and Norse mythology. This year there is a movie called "Wolf Warrior", the English name is "BeoWulf", in fact, this movie has nothing to do with "wolf", "BeoWulf" is the name of a samurai, it is based on the 7th-8th century English epic "BeoWulf", in "BeoWulf" There is a story about a dragon who has been guarding a treasure for about 300 years, enraged by an accidental theft, and begins to destroy the entire kingdom, Zuihou is killed by Beowulf, who also dies from being bitten by the dragon's teeth.

Drake/Wurm/Wyvern
These three dragons are only in the form of dragons and have no dragon grid, among which the dragon beast is the smallest, resembling a lizard, with dragon blood but very low level, can not fly and can only glide; Wurm has the least relationship with dragons, in the legend it appears in the image of a "big snake", huge but no feet and no wings (obviously unable to fly), spits poisonous gas but is very afraid of fire (obviously does not breathe fire), and its body is covered with scales, strictly speaking, it should be classified as a snake myth.
The meandering dragon is two-clawed and two-winged. The body resembles a dragon and its claws resemble an eagle, so some people call it a "bipedal flying dragon". It is smaller than a dragon in size and has a mane on its chest like a lion's. With spikes on the tail, its image often appears on the family coat of arms of England, symbolizing war, pestilence, jealousy, and evil.

Most of the dwarves are very concerned about their own race, and have little regard for power, but have a strong interest in treasure, so most of them dress up as miners.

She put Erick Theonias in a chest, gave it to the three daughters of the king of Austalia for safekeeping, and warned them not to open it, but in curiosity, the three princesses opened the box anyway, and when they saw the terrible baby, they went insane with fright. Fell from the walls of the Acropolis. After that, Athena personally raised Erick Teonas until he became a child, and it is recorded that Ericte Ionas had the ability to regenerate, as Athena had given him a few drops of the blood of the gorgon Medusa. Despite his ugly appearance, Zuihou became the king of Athens. The temple of the Acropolis was named after this king. ...,
Erynnyes ()
Erinius is the collective name of the three vengeful goddesses—Alektu, Megira, and Thesitone—who are the daughters of the night, tasked with hunting down and punishing those who commit serious crimes, and who follow him wherever they are, leaving his conscience tormented with contrition. Therefore, as long as there is sin in the world. They are bound to exist.
"Erinyes" or "Erinnyes" means "angry people" in Greek, and legend has it that they were tall and had blood-red eyes, the head of a dog, and the hair of a snake. and the wings of bats, holding torches in one hand. Holding a whip twisted from pit vipers in one hand, they were called "Furies" in Greek mythology. There are two theories about the origin of the goddess of vengeance, one is that it was born from the blood of the god Ulanas (the earliest supreme god, the incarnation of heaven, the husband of the goddess of the earth) after being castrated, and the other is that Gaia, the god of the earth, and the daughter of the god of wind. "Erynnyes" is sometimes referred to as "Eumenides", which means "merciful person", because the Greeks were in awe of the goddess of vengeance, believing that saying their name directly would bring bad luck to them.
Fairy/Faerie
The word derives from the Latin word "fare" (luck), an important class of elves in European folklore, usually living in the forest, and is also used to refer to various supernatural beings who help or hinder people, and the legend of the little witch is very popular in Britain, Ireland and other European regions. Modern popular literature usually portrays her as a "little fairy" - small, slightly larger than an insect, transparent, with butterfly wings and antennae, which is actually a misunderstanding or even disparagement of "Faerie". The real "Faerie" should be translated as "little witch", because magic is their lifeblood and their motivation, and without magic, these elves will gradually wither until they die. The Shijie of the Little Witch Life is a magical shijie full of miracles and dangers, where a magnificent paradise coexists with terrifying nightmares.
