Cyclops: Cyclops are three eyed mosters who's glance can freeze living creatures. They can also beam a laser at you form it. Cyclops are not nearly as dangerous as their cousin Triclops. They live in old castles.

Werewolf: Werewolves appear three times every month in the stages of the full moon. Once on the day before the full moon, once on the full moon and then again the day after the full moon. The rest of the tine werewolves are just everyday people. If you want to find one, look for people who disappear the same days every month. There is a potion to help control it.

Baba Yaga: Baba Yaga is an evil witch who was mutated be her evil. She lives on top of a snowy mountain brewing potions and eating people who pass by. It is rumored she ate her own children.

Gorgon. Gorgons are ugly, hideous creatures that live in caves on mountain edges. They were commonly used in Greeg myths. Never look a gorgon in the eye. If you do, you will be turned to stone. The most famous Gorgon is Medusa. She had snakes for hair and rarly ever spode English, only parseltongue.

Basilik: Another name is a Cockatrice. The Basilik or Cockatrice are found deep under the earth. If you look in the eyes you will die. If you look through something you will become petrified. The easest way to kill it is the sound of a rooster crowing.

Trolls: Trolls rarely come above ground and when they do it is normally for food although there have beed exceptions. Trolls are commonly found in the underground caves and are sometimes used to guard dungeons. They are huge ugly things. Let me put it this way, you don't want to run into one of these in a lonely ally.

Dragons: Dragons are basically large, fire-breathing lizards. Some have wings while others don't fly at all. There are over 500 000 types of dragons throughout the world and more than half are found in Europe.

Grindylows: Are not the best to be around, especially if you can't hold your breath for a long time! Grindylows live in lakes and ponds (Any place that has water and is mostly shallow). They have webbed feet and hands, and are a grayish blueish green. Able to breath under water, and aware that you cannot, they hide in seaweed waiting for someone or something to pass by. It jumps out of its hiding place and grabs hold of the victim. A way to get rid of it, is to burn it, it's long bony fingers may be strong, but his skin is slippery and sensitive.
