Mythical Creatures Quiz

Chupacabra has an s on the end for some reason. Other than that, got 19/20.

i got them all but it would not take leperchaun, cerebus or satyr for what ever reason.

Maybe because you spelled 2 of them wrong

It's Chupacabras, the S goes there

The only one I blanked on was my high school mascot >_

Thank you for accepting "djin" for genie - got 100%

I had to try "wearwolf" and "warewolf" before I got werewolf, and also typed "cerebrus" for "cerberus" -- you should accept those.

The pain of being too smart :)

Having the "el" in front of Chupacabra made me miss it.

I got 18/20. I misspelled Chupacabra and didn't get Kraken.

Why do you not take Siren?

None of these describe a siren O_o

You should accept kerberos for cerberus (original greek spelling)

Oops. x3 @melissagordon, probably because you misspelled them, except for satyr. @ meggilyweggily, tell me why the QM must accept these answers simply because you kept misspelling the word...?

Where's hippogriff? Haha jk.

haladish - a Siren is not a hybrid, it's a humanoid spirit.

@ melissagordon you spelled them wrong. leprechaun and cerberus.

Nice got all 20 done without a problem :D

got all except for gorgon and sasquatch

Chupacabras has an s on the end. Compound words in Spanish always end with a plural noun. Chupa= suck Cabras=goats. Literally a goat sucker.

Hydra is not a Water serpent, I would have gotten it if it werent for that, its a land creature

hyrda belongs on both land and see. it is a common aquatic guardian but can walk on land

i think scylla should be accepted instead of/aswell as hydra

Scylla is a monster that eats sailors, or that could be Charybdis, that always screws me up. But those are two completely different things.

@cjsf92 Scylla should definitely be taken into account. The damn thing haunted me the whole classical civ course.

thanks quizmaster :) playing Age of Mythology and watching Charmed really helps with this quiz!!!

I really love the description for satyr. It's perfect

You should accept kerberos (greek transliteration) for cerberus and lycanthrope for werewolf :P

were = man. you shouldn't accept wear or ware.

What is Cthulu?

Being a Harry Potter fan really helped with this!

Playing the God of War games helped. All the Greek ones are in those games. Cerberus,gorgon, hydra, Minotaur, centaur, cyclops,harpy, kraken, phoenix. You should make a part 2 for this!

Good quiz, although having lamp instead of lantern would probably make the Genie a lot easier, especially when most lamps you see aren't lantern like XD, for some reason couldn't remember how to spell Chupacabra, oh well, that's my own fault XD

Lycanthrope or lycanthropy is the actual changing of a human into a werewolf, not exactly the name for the condition itself. You know, if it were actually a condition.

Lycanthropy is the name for the condition, a Lycanthrope is someone who has Lycanthropy. Lycanthrope = Werewolf

Haha, i kept trying to enter Cthulu.

A Siren is something completely different. Check your mythology... we get the term "siren" now because of the warning shrieks they would give off ;)

Spelling killed me. Give us some help, Quizmaster.

I love my mythical creatures. Got them all but Chup...hkughfgh.... whatever it was. Never heard of that before.

i got 16 out of 20 on my first try most of them were pretty obvious though

Woot woot, got them all on first try! :) @melissagordon: I don't know about satyr, but you're spelling CerBERus and LePREchaun wrong...

Perpetual erection. That is all.

Faun should be accepted for satyr.

I'm with Gingerbreadman!!!!! Mr Tumnus was not that kind of satyr!! (Maybe a Faun is more like a prepubscent Satyr!)

I'm pretty sure a Chupacabras is a canine-like mammal, not a reptile. Although, there are probably many different descriptions because of the fact that its...well...a mythical creature. :D

Could not for the life of me remember how to spell cerberus. Kept spelling it cerebus and cerbus and variations on such. That was a great quis. You should make a lot more, and maybe one with pictures!

where is jesus?

Dude, Jesus isn't mythical. Period. Even though some people don't believe he's God and everything (which, btw, I do!!) doesn't mean he never exsisted. Someone's obviously not a history major!

amen buddy

Siren should definitely be included. A siren is a half-woman half-bird creature. In the mythology, the sirens were women who worked for Persephone (her maids). When she was stolen by Hades, the Sirens wanted to search for her and begged Zeus to turn them into birds. He didn't want to because then they'd lose their beautiful singing voices, and compromised by turning their bottom halves into birds. That made it easier for them to search for Persephone, but they obviously still couldn't find her because she was underground, so they became bitter and settled on an island and sang to lure passing sailors to their deaths. tl;dr: Sirens are not ugly, but they are bird-winged women and should be accepted.

Jesus is not mythical.

They forgot the dragon ;-; but I got every single one. !00%

What about the half woman half snake = Naga?

Easy as a mythical creatures quiz.

apparently cthulhu is not the right answer hahaha :)

Please take the apostrophe out of "its" in the phoenix question, and yeah, the chupacabras is thought to be a dog-like thing, not a reptile, and yeah, it would be awesome to add Jesus.

Jesus is not a fantasy creature

Whether you believe in Christianity or not Jesus was a real person.

Mythology is my thing

Missed four: harpy (kicked myself when I found the answer, I'm obsessed with Percy Jackson), kraken, banshee, and chupacabra. I probably would've gotten chupacabra if it hadn't said reptile; it's believed to be doglike, but without hair. I had kraken on the tip of my tongue, too.

as long as you read the Percy Jackson and the Harry Potter books you should get all of them

Or like maybe know Greek mythology or cultural history or something. Maybe you should stop playing with your magic "wand".

O_O ............perpetual.................erection????????????? Never learned that part..............

Haha, yep. Satyrs were extremely... er, salacious.

You should accept furies/ fury as ugly bird winged woman. It is one too.

Hapries and Furies are totally different creatures. In greek mythology Harpies are ancient winged monsters with the head of beautiful women but has the body of a great bird, they are always depicted to be violent and harmful to human beings, constantly torturing them if given the chance. Other versions of the myth tells that they are the birds of the god of war Ares. The Furies are sub goddesses, they seek those polluted with blood guilt (i.e. Murder) and punish them directly, they are feared by criminals and others that committed an act of crime. They are said to reside in the underworld, were they continue to punish the wicked after they die.

100% :D

100% with 2:45 left on the clock, thanks Myths and Legends class!!!

wooho! 20/20 on first try! Yeti and sasquatch were the only ones that i had to think about though

I'll never be able to watch Disney's Hercules again. Satyr's just totally ruined that movie, even though I expected that. O_O

Reading Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and Artemis Fowl got me to 20/20.

I second the Jesus comment. He definitely fits.

Jesus is a religious figure, not a mythological one, and he wasn't a creature, but a human, even if the things the Bible says he did (whether he actually did them or not is anyone's guess) are seemingly mythological, besides, that would mean Abraham, Siddhartha, and Mohammad would qualify as myhtological as well, which they are not.

I think darkseraphim meant to say Lycan, which isn't a Werewolf; they come from completely different cultures. And Chupacabra was the only one I didn't get. What is this Cthulu people keep mentioning???

Cthulhu is an ancient god that lives under the sea in the author Lovecraft's stories. Almost anything featuring strange, alien gods is taking from the 'cthulhu mythos'.

A Lycanthrope CAN be a werewolve, but it is technically the transformation to any animal inflicted with lycanthropy that bit you or turning int a human-(inflicted animal) hybrid, or so it says in the dungeons and dragons version 3.5

i typed in screaming banshee and it didnt work. it should

Perfect with 2:21 to go

thank you god of war games

Chupacabra is not a reptile. It is a mammal

missed satyr- thought the answer was fawn! and also forgot cerberus, i'm surprised i got chupacabra because i wasnt entirely sure if it was the mexican bigfoot or wat it said in the description

Easy for us Percy Jackson and Harry Potter readers :D

14

couldn't spell Chupacabra....that and I kinda forgot about the genie....

This was a piece of cake. All I had to do was pay attention in class way back when haha! And love mythical things...

I disagree with the conclusion on lycanthrope. A lycanthrope is one afflicted by lycanthropy, therefore ought to be a good answer for "werewolf." Good thing I'm smart enough to try the accepted response when I saw lycanthrope wouldn't work. ;-)

Lycanthrope consists of two words Lycos and Anthropos. Lycos means wolf and Anthropos means human... So, a Lycanthrope is technically a werewolf. How am I so sure? Lycanthrope is a greek word. I'm Greek.

Nice quiz had no clue what a griffin was so it took me two tries to 100%

You should accept Polyphemus as an answer to "one-eyed giant" too. If you don't know, Polyphemus was his actual name.

Got all but Kraken. Had trouble with cerberus because i kept trying to spell it cerebus for some stupid reason :P

I wonder whether "sea maid" could be also acceptable for "mermaid." Otherwise a wonderful quiz, 19/20 for me. :)
