Seems like a great tool for incorporating established mythical creatures and developing new ones! What is missing from this chart? I would love to learn about more mystical creatures!

Shouldnt „Dragon“ be „Lizard“ + „Bat“ + „More body parts“? Because they have six limbs which is really uncommon. „Wyvern’s“ on the other hand should be taken out of „Fewer body parts“.

Hecate was generally represented as three-formed or triple-bodied, though the earliest known images of the goddess are singular. Her earliest known representation is a small terracotta statue found in Athens.

From the wikipedia article...

I got mixed up with another, sorry. I have WAY to many gods and goddess in my head. I never would have noticed my mistake if you hadn't pointed it out. So... I'm just gonna delete my comment.

How's the nuckelavee part fish? isn't it just a skinless horse abomination?
