unicorn
Unicorns is a unicorn, a mysterious creature in the legend. It is often described as a slender white horse with a helix angle in front of the forehead (this is also a feature of the unicorn). There are many different statements about the shape of unicorns. Some say it is like a big horse with a horn on its head, a creature that is difficult to tame. Some people think it is a goat-like creature, a unicorn, a sacred creature, and some people even believe in unicorns. The ancient Roman naturalist Plyss described the unicorns as elephants, lion tails, upper body like goats, and a black spiral on the head. It is a fierce monster. At 380BC, a Greek philosopher Ctessias made a general form of unicorns. He said that unicorns is a wild animal in India with a white body, a purple head, blue eyes, a straight, hard corner, white at the bottom, black in the middle, and red at the top. This may be formed by the formation of a single-horned fairy (the unicorn is also called unicorn).
Modern sayings include the illusions of different localities, from primitive goat-like creatures to pure and beautiful beasts. It can be transformed into different sizes and colors, from ivory white or ebony deep black or even rainbow colors, to escape the hunter's pursuit. Sometimes it is like a flying horse. However, the basic concept of unicorn has not changed, it is noble, arrogant and pure, and of course it has a long angle in front of it. In fact, the different saying is that each local culture is different. It is called Kirin in Japan and China and is one of the ”four spirits”. ”Unicorn” is derived from the Hebrew word ”re‘em, the early ancient translation was ”monokeros”, meaning ”unicorn”, and later turned into English ”unicorn”.
The corner of Unicorns has healing power to filter out dust and poisons to prevent poisoning and other diseases and even immortality. Therefore, the European royal aristocracy prevailed in a cup made of a single angle, because the legend can test whether there is poison. The unicorn's horn is regarded as a detoxification treasure in Europe, and it is very effective in treating abdominal pain. It is such that unicorn becomes the target of the hunter. The idea of healing ability may stem from a medieval story. Legend has it that there are many animals surrounding a pool in the middle of the night. But the water is poisonous, they can't drink until a unicorn appears. It gently rubbed the corners of the pool, and the toxic water immediately turned back to clean and clean. The unicorn is a mythical creature in fantasy, but some archaeologists say that the horn of the unicorn is actually the tooth of the narwhal genus ”unicorn” in the Arctic sea.
In many Western oil paintings, I have seen pictures of unicorns and girls from time to time. Ancient Roman naturalist Plyss said that ”the unicorn is a fierce monster. It is impossible to produce it. And they are quite sensitive. When they find a change, they immediately escape. But the unicorn likes it. Pure and innocent, and very tempted by beautiful girls, so only pure girls can capture it.” Hunters usually put a virgin in the wild, the unicorn will approach the girl, and then horn into the girl's belly At this time, the girl can take the opportunity to cut off its corner.
Beihai Giant Demon
Kraken (Beihai Giant Demon)
”Under the unfathomable bottom of the sea, the North Sea monster is sleeping... It has been sleeping for centuries and will continue to rest on the huge sea worms until one day the flame of the sea worm will warm the sea floor / people and angels will witness / It rises from the bottom of the sea with a roar, and everything on the sea will be destroyed.” - Alfred the Great
The North Sea monster is a huge sea monster in Norse mythology (it is said that it is 15 meters long). It usually floats on the bottom of the sea and occasionally floats on the water. When it floats on the surface, some sailors mistakenly regard its body as A small island, even on this ”small island”, camped on it, and died at the bottom of the sea when it sank. The Beihai giant demon has a huge tentacles that can grab the giant ship into the seabed, so some people think that its prototype is actually the king squid near the Norwegian Sea. Just like the giant pythons in the Nordic mythology (see MidgardSerpent), the North Sea monsters will surface when the end of the world comes.
Medusa
There is a king in Argos in ancient Greece. One day, he went to the temple to ask God for a question, and the resulting **** said that he would die from his daughter and the hand of the grandson Perseus born of Zeus.
The old man was very scared when he heard this. He stunned his heart, licking his daughter and Perseus to sleep, putting the mother and son into a big box and then throwing it into the sea. He thought that this big box would not be swallowed up by the stormy waves, and the mother and the child would starve to death sooner or later. Unexpectedly, Zeus secretly sheltered the mother and son. He made the wooden box across the sea and went to an island country and was rescued by a fisherman. The king on the island was very surprised to hear about this incident, and when he saw that Little Perseus was alive, he accepted him as a adopted child.
The king loved his adopted son very much. He carefully cultivated Perseus and invited him to the various fields on the island. Perseus may have been born to be smart and eager to learn because of the bloodline of God. Within a few years, there is another hero who can do everything in the world.
The heroic performance of Perseus was quickly passed to heaven, one day, the goddess of wisdom Athena (she is Zeus’s favorite daughter, the most admired goddess of the Greeks, especially the Athenians, and the city of Athens is named after her. ) I found him and asked Perseus to take the head of the banshee Medusa to her. Perseus was a man who liked to meet the challenge. He happily agreed to the goddess' request.
Medusa turned out to be a very beautiful girl with a shawl hair. But she grows up and looks good, and she does not compare herself with the goddess of wisdom. Athena was irritated, and she cast spells that turned Medusa's hair into countless snakes. Beauty has become a monster. What is even more frightening is that her eyes are shining with horrible light. Anyone who only looks at her will immediately become a lifeless stone.
In order to get Medusa's head, Perseus managed to get three treasures: a pair of flying shoes that can be used to make a cloud, a leather bag, and a dog-skin helmet that can be invisible on the head. With these three treasures, and then take his bronze shield and knives, Perseus got up and flew to the place where Medusa was in charge.
When arriving, Medusa was sleeping. Perseus did not dare to look at her. He found the position of Medusa from the reflection of the bronze shield, and went forward, cutting down the head of her poisonous snake. Perseus put the **** head into the leather sac and quickly flew into the sky. At this time, the two female demon who lived with Medusa were awakened, and they found that their companions were killed and rushed to chase. Fortunately, Perseus was wearing a dog's leather helmet and was not discovered by them. At this time, a Pegasus was changed from Medusa's body, and Perseus immediately jumped up, and the Pegasus shouted and flew away.
Pegasus
One of the mythological stories of Issobia. When the Perseus with Perseus killed the head of Medusa, the blood flowed from the neck of Medusa to the sea and the hippocampus, so a winged white Pegasus accelerated. Sri Lanka jumped out. Haiwang was once considered the father of Pei's. Legend has it that Athena has captured the Pegasus and brought it to the mountains of Helicon, which belongs to the mountains of Muses. When it leaps, the hoof of the Accord is kicked to the mountain, and the famous Hippocrene spring begins. It came out, when the legend Hippocrene was the source of inspiration for all poets. Later, Pegasus became a Greek port city, a good friend of the young warrior of Corinth, Bellerophon. With the help of Pegasus, Berelomin completed the assassination of a terrible monster Kemi. The task of Chimera (lion head, sheep body, dragon tail) and other great achievements, and finally Berelo Ming became very arrogant, wanting to fly over the Olympus Mountain to join the gods, Zeus sent a Only the cattle flies to go to the speeding up, let Bere Luoming fall from the horse to death, and leave the Pegasus to stay in heaven. (Note: The Kingdom of Isopia is not the current Ethiopia, but a dynasty on the north coast of Africa).
Griffon
”If you are a tiger,” which word is more appropriate to describe the lion beast? They have the body of a lion, the head and wings of an eagle, and are quite famous creatures. The lion beast is the real hegemon of the sky, compared to the dragons who are more willing to guard their treasures in the cave or eat the suitors in the princess's tower and refuse to fly in the sky.
【origin】
The lions and beasts originated from when and where no one was known. The sages thought it was the result of a magical experiment in ancient civilizations, but it seems that the lions and beasts have appeared in poets and old people before the written records. Down the legendary story. Perhaps like a man, the lion beast is a creature created by the extraordinary magic of nature. The lion beast in the literature first appeared in the myth of the ancient Akkad (Babylon-Assyrian). In the legend that Malduk killed the monster and thus sealed the god, the lion beast was the third behemoth he killed. . After that, the image of the lion beast appeared in Greek mythology. It was the **** of the gods Zeus, the sun **** Apollo, and the vengeful goddess Nemesis. The lion beast of the Nemesis pull was different from the same coat. The whole body is black like a crow. The Latin variant of the Greek grups, gryphus, and the griff, which represents the canyon, became griffin/griffon/gryphon in English and French.
[Outline]
Perhaps it is very close to the sky, the lion's beast has a sunny feather color and coat color. The lion-like back has yellow-brown animal hair, and the eagle's head to forelegs are all covered with gold-colored eagle feathers, but it may also be white feathers with deep red spots. The feathers on their heads and wings may be blue or green, the feathers on the chest are vermilion, and the eagle and feet like the eagle may range from transparent yellow to bright gold, and the claws are black. This is the description of the lion beast in Robert InPan's ”Spiritual”.
But there are a thousand descriptions, and there are thousands of lions and beasts. The lions and beasts in the dragon and dungeons are said to have hairs ranging in color from bronze to dark brown. The longer the age, the darker the color. The feathers on the male chest will be dyed with a touch of red, while the females will be more bleak. But the third edition of the dragon and the dungeon ”Monsters of the Monsters” painter's opinion is obviously different: the lion beast not only grows directly from the lion-like forelegs, but also grows a wolf tail. However, the artist did not mistake the forelimb of the lion beast as a root stick. Because the forelimbs of the lion's beast are indeed quite powerful, it is not difficult to fold the neck of the opponent's neck. The sharp claws of 15 centimeters are the weapon to tear the flesh and blood.
When standing on four feet and not counting the length of the tail, the adult lion's beast is 7 to 10 feet long (about 2 to 3 meters), the male is about 1,100 pounds (about half a ton), and the female is one-third lighter. Supporting this weight during flight is a wing with a wingspan of 7 to 8 meters. To inspire such wings, and to provide strength for the powerful forelimbs, you can imagine how the lion's beast has developed a thick chest muscle.
The eyes of the lion beast are like a living flame, ruby red, flame yellow, ice crystal blue, which may be the bright colors of the sharp eyes. They can clearly see a horse at a height of two miles (about 3,200 meters). If it can read books, it can make ordinary prints 30 meters away. Although there is no night vision, you can still gather the weakest light to see the surroundings and hunt easily. Its sense of smell is only mediocre for carnivores, not as sensitive as dogs, but it is much stronger than humans. It can track prey by smell, and can quickly find enemies in the wind. The lion's beast's sense of hearing is sharp, and the footsteps can be distinguished from the other side.
[habit]
Although the lions and beasts can hunt a lot of food, they still have a unique attachment to the horse. The young lion beast does not care whether there is a rider on the horseback, nor does it care about the arrow that the horse who cares for the horse shoots at the sword that comes from it. Older lions and beasts are much more cautious, and they will not hesitate to attack unguarded wild horses, but in the face of a whole team of knights, they may give up, unless it is because of hunger, stupidity, arrogance or Lack of experience in fighting warriors.
Like the eagle, the lion beast is a lifelong monogamy, and will fight to protect the spouse and son. The juvenile bird will be fed by any family member, but usually the male hunting female keeps the nest. The lion beast usually lays two eggs at a time, and its outer shell has an agate-like pattern, and the incubation period is four weeks. The chicks eat and weigh heavy food every day for the first three months. At four months, the young bird is about the size of a large dog. It will easily climb between the rocks and be able to move freely on the ground. The birds will teach them at this time that they do not have to use the wings for hunting skills. At six months of age, young birds began to learn flying and aerial hunting techniques, which would take them half a year. When necessary, the lion beast will move the nest to another place until the young bird has the ability to protect himself. After two years of age, the bird is an adult and must walk away from home to build his own nest.
