If you read a lot of fantasy books you will realize that there are a lot of mythical creatures like dragons, fairies, minotaurs, and dryads. Some are good that do things like give you advice or wishes. Some are deadly, there is one creature that if you look it straight in the eye you die instantly. I like dragons because they are powerful and I like tree guards because they come to life and capture anyone going in the forest. Griffons look like an eagle and a lion combined. Mythical creatures are fun to learn about and they are great in fantasy books.
