The witch wolf is a dangerous species and is very unique. It almost looks the same as a normal wolf, there is only some changes. Some differences from a normal wolf is how it catches prey, how it acts, where it lives, or what kind of powers it has. The witch wolf has grey fur and amber eyes. But, while they are on the prowl, all of their hair stands on end and their eyes turn black. A adult witch wolf is about 5.1 feet to 7.3 feet in length, which is larger than a normal wolf by a couple feet. These special types of wolves live in packs. Next, they have special powers because they are part witch. They can lure prey away from safety with spells, and they can go invisible for very short periods of time.

An alternative version of this myth, includes Poseidon. Here Medusa was a beautiful maiden, envy of every women and desired by every man around, her hair was the loveliest. She was a priestess of Athena. Medusa "it's said, was violated in Minerva's shine by Ocean's lord. Jove's daughter turned away and covered with her shield her virgin's eyes and then for fitting punishment transformed The Gorgon's lovely hair to loathsome snakes. Minerva still, to strike her foes with dread, upon her breastplate wears the snakes she made"(Ovid, page 98). It is not entirely clear if she was violated or if she consented. Either way, she was punished for committing a crime because Athena is a virgin goddess, so all her priestesses have to remain virgin too.

It was hard for me to chose only one America's current monster obsessions. How could I possibly chose from a list of monsters that are constantly put in books, TV shows, and cheesy T-shirts that I can't help admire. Werewolves are big and scary tear people apart, what's not to love about that? That's the problem though, werewolves are portrayed as a romantic creature that is also human. Vampires suck people's blood, how could you not choose a creature that's fast, strong, creepy, and dead. Vampires are the entire package, but again are ruined because they are in books kissing girls, so that's a no. After crossing those two off I was left with aliens and zombies, both good choices that could be talked about in a million ways. I decided on a monster that I find absolutely

She was beautiful and had long and appealing hair. Athena found Medusa sleeping with Poseidon, her enemy, in her sacred temple. To punish her, she turned her so ugly that men would turn to stone when they would look upon her. She turned her hair into serpents, and gave her claws. Athena ordered Perseus to kill Medusa and bring her head back to her. He brought a shield, to avoid looking at her, Herme’s sickle, to behead her, and a leather bag, to hold her head. Medusa’s head still has the ability to turn all men to stone. Perseus used the head against different components. Athena gave the blood of Medusa to Asclepius. He used the blood on the right side to raise the dead. Asclepius ended up being killed by Zeus for doing this. Today Medusa’s head is found in Athena’s temple on her

Before Medusa became cursed, she was a normal woman who lived in Athens, Greece. She was a very beautiful women and she was aware of that. Medusa was quit a narsissist. She was also Athena’s priestess. Athena was the goddess of wisdom and war. One requirment to be Athena’s priestess was to be a virgin. Although, one day

In Ancient Greek mythology, Medusa and the Gorgons were three beautiful sisters, (daughters of Phorkos and Keto,) their names were: Medusa, Sthenno, and Euryale. According to late classical poets, Medusa was a beautiful blonde haired priestess of Athena, who caught the attention of Poseidon, God of the sea. As the two became aquatinted, they began to spend time with one another. However, the couple crossed the line when Medusa was caught laying with Poseidon in an Athenian shrine. As punishment for disrespecting Athena, Medusa was turned into a horrible monster who would turn her enemies into stone by looking her in the eyes. Early Greek writers however, believed Medusa was always a monster, having been born into a large family of vicious

In the book, the author tries to define the dragon and states that it was seen to look like a giant snake. He also explains how people saw dragons as sacred whereby it was seen as some type of guardian to the people and provided them with protection and natural needs like rain. The book also tells of people, who had negative beliefs against the dragons; these were mostly Christians who to some extent even fought with the dragons. The belief that dragons were strong and mighty was seen as true since people who defeated dragons, mostly armies, were remembered as very great men. The popular belief that dragons guard great treasures in their caves is seen in this novel whereby the author states that people in those days tried to enter dragon caves which were guarded by these dragons.

Before Medusa turned into a monster she was a beautiful girl who happened to be a priestess in Athena’s virgin temple. Athena usually picked women she thought were suited to represent her in a temple made just for her. One day the God of the Sea, Poseidon, saw Medusa and thought she was amazingly beautiful. Seeing that she was the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen and wanting to pursue her further Poseidon followed her into Athena’s temple. While inside the temple the two became lovers (Gall 38)

What is the first thing that comes into your mind when you think of the word dragon? Myth? Conspiracy? Well, there's a lot more to dragons then you may think. According to legend, there are many kinds: European, Asian, sea serpent, fire drake, great earth dragon, water dragon, golden dragon. The list goes on. Those were the ones that will be discussed now.

Beasts can be broken down in a wide variety of views. Although the animal aspect of beast will be the sub category that will be referenced. animals are covered in many movies as beasts, fluctuating from animals as small and common as bats. To as big and an unusual as werewolves. An all-time great movie with a extreme beast, is Jaws. Jaws is a movie about a killer white shark that terrorizes a beach and the men that try to kill it. Here is a breakdown of an instance when you come across a shark said by the boat captain Quint. “Sometimes that shark he looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. And, you know, the thing about a shark... he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be living... until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screaming”. That is kind of a frightening thought. Everyone is a little leery when they see a fin rising out of the water. The last example of the animal villain is a bit on the unusual side, it was actually referanced in the example of an unusual animal villain a little prior. The movie is the Wolfman, hinting at the villain in the title, the villain is a man that turns into a wolf. I believe one of the most terrifying scenes is where he is sitting in the asylum, tied to the chair. When a group of men of some authority are trying to exam the villain under the full moon. You can see where Lawrence Talbert is trying to warn them and they will not listen, then he screams “I will kill all of you!” when he is transforming into the petrifying animal. These are both considered by many to be truly fearsome animals, and rightly so. While it is a little hard to relate animal villains to common society, you can see many shark attacks on the news and web. As for as werewolves or wolfmen go, there are stories about dark parts of the forest and ultimately, the

Several monsters such as the Minotaur, Medusa, and centaurs appear to be partially human. These monsters have human characteristics because the gods decided to create them that way. The Minotaur has the head of a bull with the body of a man. He was born as the offspring of Minos’ wife and a beautiful white bull sent by Poseidon (Hamilton 157). Poseidon forced Minos’ wife to love the bull. Their offspring was the

Poseidon became infatuated with Medusa, he seduced her into the temple of Athena (goddess of wisdom). Because of this, Athena became infuriated and took her anger out on Medusa. She was so angry that she turned the maiden into a Gorgon, a terrifying female creature with hairs of venomous snakes and whose glance will turn a person to stone.
