Forgotten Series/Creatures/Animals

Dragons
They are commonly depicted as large flying reptiles that breathe fire or shoot deadly poison from their nostrils.

Unicorns
Unicorns are magnificent and noble creatures that have enchanted young and old across the globe and through the ages. They are both a symbol of purity and goodness and the personification of untamed freedom. White horses with a long horn extending from the forehead. The horn is usually spiraled, which makes light dance across the body of the animal as the sun shines down upon it.

Pheonix
No creature symbolizes eternal life more than the phoenix, a mythical bird known as much for its beauty as its immortality. It is usually depicted as an eagle or other bird of prey, but may also resemble a heron in its delicate majesty. It only one can exist at a time. When it senses that its life is coming to an end - about once every thousand years - the phoenix builds itself a funeral pyre made of cinnamon or other aromatic material and allows itself to be consumed by the flames. Then, as the old phoenix is reduced to ashes, a new one rises to begin its life on Earth.

Pegasus
Portrayed as a beautiful winged horse, sometimes white, sometimes white with gold wings and sometimes gold all over.

Griffin
The griffin is normally characterised as a lion with the head and wings of an eagle. It was thought to be a particularly strong creature as the lion is the king of beasts and the eagle is the king of birds.

Centaur
Being part man and part horse, the centaur is stuck between two worlds: that of the wild beast and that of the civilized human being. Not only were centaurs part animal, they are also described as rowdy warrior types prone to heavy drinking and other primal excesses, which often brought them into conflict with their more cultured cousin, man.

Leviathan
Monster Leviathan, a giant sea creature with glowing eyes and a nasty habit of crushing ships and devouring ocean-going humans. With its enormous body and scaly skin, Leviathan is usually referred to as a giant monstrous fish, but is also commonly described as a serpent, crocodile or marine mammal.
