Every country in the world must have a mythical animal that is highly cultured even today. Although these animals actually do not necessarily really exist in the world. An example is a dragon. This animal is very famous in Europe and also in Asia, especially China. It's just a different shape. In Europe the dragon is a giant winged creature that can shoot fire, while in China it is a giant snake that has four legs, horns and can fly. What other animals are myths elsewhere?

There are so many mythical animals out there. I personally like the beasts from Nordic lore since they were cool.

@Babale This one is called Fenrir. It's a monstrous wolf that plays an important role in the Norse mythos.

It seems so, but it could be that imagination in every country about dragons is very different.

I think in England before I mean centuries ago they were supposed to be Dragons apart from the myth of the Loch Ness Monster. Here we have the Chupa Cabra its a really horrible creature its some kind of legend also.

@Babale According to what they say it has and does. How much of it do I believe? The Farmers who have lost a load of cattle, sheep and so on with two little marks on the side of the neck shoulder.

Does Chupa Chhabra also suck human blood? in our country there are also creatures like that who suck the blood of livestock, resemble bats and only appear at night.

Centaurs are human and animal forms from Greek myths. They are half man and half horse.

I think the shape of Centaurs is very strange. Are they beasts? Does not seem.

That's right, doesn't Indonesia also have a mythical animal that is the nation's symbol? That is Garuda.

@Babale Garuda is eagle. Jatayu of course is humanised eagle who tried to save Sita from Ravana and who could talk.

What about the Jatayu bird in the Ramayana story? This bird is a symbol of our country until now, called Garuda.

Yes, that is true. But what I know so far is winged dragons and snake-shaped dragons with four legs. Are there other types of dragons besides that?

Maybe because in China the dragon is a symbol for their country. Nowadays China has even earned the title dragon in the military and economic fields thanks to its rapid progress.
