If the heads are cut off, the heads would grow back. One head cut-off would result to two heads growing back in its place. The heads can breathe fire as well as poison, and there are different types of Hydra that go along with where they are located. . Rarity: 5 Danger: 7 Location: Varies
Kraken: are legendary sea monsters of gargantuan size. These huge, many armed creatures would attack a ship by wrapping their arms around the hull and capsizing it, resulting in the crew drowning or being eaten by the monster. and sometimes can thrust its tentacles down with so much velocity it can snap a large ship in 2 parts.

Mngwa: a cat of legend, seen by none and lived. It stalks it’s prey in the night being silent because of its padded feet. The bodies of this monster's victim's show wounds made by razor sharp claws and huge teeth. If real, the Mngwa would be so ferocious that it could kill a man with one bit or slice of its claws. Rarity: 9 Danger: 9 Location: Dense jungles
Phoenix: Said to live for 500 or 1461 yeas the phoenix is a bird with beautiful gold and red plumage. At the end of its life-cycle the phoenix builds itself a nest of cinnamon twigs that it then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix arises. The bird was also said to regenerate when hurt or wounded by a foe, thus being almost immortal and invincible — a symbol of fire and divinity. These birds can mainly only be called forth by those who have a certain magic within them, and be asked for help, and if someone creates a powerful enough bond with a phoenix, the bird can become their familiar. Rarity: 9 Danger: 6 Location: Varies
Treefolk: In a fairy community, all trees are magical and sacred to them, however not all are sentient. In fact only a few are found to be. These are treemen and/or treewomen. Treefolk, as they are called, can take on humanoid shape and move a short distance from their tree, or, in extreme cases, uproot the entire tree and use the roots as a shuffling form of locomotion. In their humanoid form, Treefolk are often described as resembling their tree - so that an apple treewoman might have green hair and brownish skin while an elder treeman might have eyes as purply black as berries. They can have trunk like legs, great branches for arms and have wood for skin. Rarity: 7 Danger: Varies Location: forests
Unicorn: The unicorn is a legendary creature usually depicted with the body of a horse, but with a single – usually spiral – horn growing out of its forehead. The unicorn's blood and horn supposedly have mystical healing properties. A unicorn’s horn also is known as the "bane of evil" in that it has the ability to dispel anything malignant in water and can also kill most truly evil creatures it comes in to contact with. Naturally Kings sought after cups made from this horn so they could enjoy a poison free meal. Rarity: 6 Danger: 5 Location: forests
Wyvern: The Wyvern has the head of a dragon, and its forked tongue, scaly neck and leathery wings, but combines with these the two clawed feet of an eagle (whereas the dragon has four), and a long, serpentine tail which is often depicted as knotted, or twined upon itself, to indicate the extreme venomousness and violent temper of the monster. Rarity: 7 Danger: Varies Location Varies
