Monster Mash-ups

[Uthrecht]

Okay, what do we got?

There's the unicorn, but I'm not sure that's a mash-up. It's a horse plus a narwhal?

The pegasus, of course, horse + bird.

Griffin / Gryphon: lion + eagle.

Sphinx: feline + human (sometimes + bird wings).

Minotaur: bull + human.

We should probably stick to mythology; if we start adding Dungeons and Dragons creatures, we'll be here 'til Spring. Also, might want to avoid gods, since that gets into a different kettle of fish (with human heads or something).

How many do we have in addition to these? If we settle on a list, I'll whip up a poll.

mermaid: fish/woman
centaur: horse/man
satyr: goat/man (my personal favorite)

[Darmund]

A manticore is like a sphinx with a spiky tail (also sometimes winged).

[jayjay]

Harpies - woman/vulture

[Chacoguy]

Rodan?

[Dirx]

Rodan was just a giant mutant pterodactyl, basically.



Echidna (not the monotreme) was a monstrous human/snake, and apparently the mother of all sorts of other monsters.

There's the chimera - head of a lion, and a goat, and a serpent for a tail, with bat wings.
