We’ve all heard stories about mythical creatures.
Sitting in a room at night with all your mates, where one of your buddies starts telling a story about how this one person gave a lift to a woman, who was undetectable in the rearview mirror. And then everyone tries to laugh it off but deep down, everyone got scared for life and found it really hard to sleep with the lights turned off.
You may think that discussions about mythical creatures are very rare in today’s world but no, almost everyone on this planet has heard about mythical creatures like Cyclops, The Lockness Monster, Baba Yaga, Big Foot, and more. And their stories can easily make rock-hearted people pee their trousers.
Let’s check out some of these mythical creatures and know what their purpose was. See if you can spot one that you’ve heard of before. I apologize if it is nighttime in your country when you’re reading this. Get ready for the horror show.

Tonight’s definitely gonna be a tough night. I wonder how these mythical creatures originated. I mean, who must’ve seen or made up a story or a creature so terrifying that got so famous all over the world? If these creatures are actually mythical and not real, kudos to the creative minds that thought of these. And if they are real… Well, good luck to us and I wish we never encounter these petrifying creatures.
