A quiz is a determination of knowledge; not just what the words are, but also how to spell them.

A quiz is not a spelling test. If it were a verbal quiz, no one would need to spell anything. If it were a written test marked by a human, you'd usually not be marked incorrect for spelling mistakes (outside of a language test).

I thought a half goat half man was a Satir. Also, the clue for Leprechaun is a little weird. I would venture that not many think of Leprechauns as fairies.

There are indeed similarities between the (Roman) Satyr and the Faun, but the F clue tells you which one is required. Maybe people don't think of the leprechaun as a fairy, but it is in fact a correct description!

I was in the same boat of this. I've just never thought of the Lucky Charms guy as a "fairy", even if it is correct. Not a complaint, just stating why it stumped me. Great quiz!

But the clue says "Scottish", not "Scandinavian"...unless it was changed at some point? And there's nothing horse-like about a kraken....

Taniwha and Xana seem really obscure (as proved by only 5% of people guessing them correctly). There's not much that can be done about "X", but wouldn't troll be a better option for "T"?

I grew up in New Zealand with childhood stories of Taniwha so I put that in as a tough one. :) They can't all be easy!

I only heard of Taniwha because there was a Magic: the Gathering card of it way back when. I didn't know it was based on a real world monster. Thanks!

I wish more quizzes contained "hard" or "obscure" answers. Making sure that quizzes are all answered completely by everyone is, IMO, misguided. Getting 100% correct should be the exception, not the rule. Make us earn that 5 points.

I may not remember Taniwha this time, but it'll now be rattling around in the back of my head in the future. Eventually I'll remember it, just like I eventually picked up abattoir for slaughterhouse.

Well if some answers are that hard you often don't need 100% for 5 points anyway

Can you also accept Sphynx

Why? "Sphynx" is a decidedly un-legendary breed of cat.

Level 43
Aug 29, 2014
Because alternate spellings often exist for very old words like "sphinx". I thought of "sphynx" first, as well, because I've seen it spelled that way many times, and not in reference to the domestic cat breed.

Kelp, far from being a legendary creature, is in fact a type of seaweed.

I saw a jackalope in the parking lot of a Hampton Inn in Gillette, Wyoming two years ago. No kidding. I was going to lure it with a carrot but it scurried behind a dumpster. Never seen one since.

I've seen rabbits with growths on their heads which resemble antlers, but they are actually tumors caused by the papillomavirus. That could be the basis of the jackalope legends. (Our deer season just closed, and someone in our town killed a six-point doe. That could be a new legend in the making.)

Quetzalcoatl is a deity, not really a "creature". It's not a category of being like the others.

If you needed a Q "qilin" would have been a better choice- the dragon/ox/deer hybrid of Chinese mythology.

Isn't that more commonly spelled Kirin in English? I've even seen it as Kylin somewhere (maybe in a novel? I'm not sure).

It's "kirin" in Japanese, "qilin" in Chinese. Probably shows up as "kirin" more frequently in English for a number of reasons, like the fact that it's easier to pronounce and also that Kirin is a brand of beer.

Ok, well the first thing I thought of when I read the 'd' clue was a Chimera. I didn't even read past 'serpent' for the 'b' clue to know the answer. Don't you think that a Hippogriff would be a better choice for the 'h' clue/answer? Maybe I have too much Harry Potter on the brain today!

this is what the creator said in a different comment:

"No, I didn't mix up centaur and satyr; a centaur in Greek mythology is half-man, half-horse. The satyr in traditional Greek mythology has horse-like features, which is why I said "part horse/man". Early depictions include a horse's tail and ears, among other things. The Romans had fauns, very similar creatures, but with goat-like features. There's a good article about satyrs on wikipedia which describes how confusion between the two became prevalent, to the point of satyrs being commonly referred to as having goat-like features. It's a hot mess, really."

I know Quetzalcoatl trips people up on the spelling, but I only got as far as "Quetz" before it filled the answer in. You don't think that's maybe a bit TOO generous?
