55. GARGOYLE

The Gargoyle is a creature of magic first cited in a French legend that sprang up around the name of St. Romanus (631–641 AD), the former chancellor of the Merovingian king Clotaire II who was made bishop of Rouen, relates how he delivered the country around Rouen from a monster called Gargouille or Goji.The Gargoyle is said to have been the typical dragon with bat-like wings, a long neck, and the ability to breathe fire from its mouth. Multiple versions of the story are being given, either that St. Romanus subdued the creature with a crucifix, or he captured the creature with the help of the only volunteer, a condemned man. In each, the monster is led back to Rouen and burned, but its head and neck would not burn due to being tempered by its own fire breath. The head was then mounted on the walls of the newly built church to scare off evil spirits, and used for protection.In commemoration of St. Romain, the Archbishops of Rouen were granted the right to set a prisoner free on the day that the reliquary of the saint was carried in procession

56. Dryads

57. BEHEMOTH
The behemoth is huge unconquerable land beast from the Bible so powerful from its description that scientists believe it to be one of the last dinosaurs to walk the planet.
It is said to be one of God’s first creation (a primeval beast of choas) who had only one arch enemy “The leviathan” and a battle is said to ensue between the two in the last days.
It’s known to live in some hidden part of the Garden of Eden (according to extracts from the book of Enoch). The leviathan is also said to reach its highest peak of its strength every summer solstice.
The behemoth is known to be a creature of immense power and does its bid in maintaining that reputation by putting other wild beast at bay.
Biblical account: “He eats grass like an ox. Significant strength in his lions and power in the muscles of his belly. Tail stiff like a cedar and the sinews of his thighs are knit together. Bones are made of tunes of bronze and it’s limbs like bars of iron”(Job 40:15-18)

58.COCKATRICE

The cockatrice was a creature born from the egg of a rooster and hatched by a serpent. Sometimes compared to a basilisk, it had a dragon-like body and a rooster's head, and was said to be able to turn people, animals, and plants to stone just by looking at them or even breathing on them. The creature is considered highly venomous and If you were in cockatrice-infested parts, your only hope of survival was to bring a weasel or a rooster with you — allegedly, the weasel was immune to the cockatrice's powers, and the crow of a rooster would kill one instantly.

59. The chupacabra

The Chupacabra is a legendary creature in the folklore of parts of the Americas, with its first purported sightings reported in Puerto Rico in 1995. The name comes from the animal's reported vampirism;the chupacabra is said to attack and drink the blood of livestock, including goats.

The most common description of the chupacabra is that of a reptile-like creature, said to have leathery or scaly greenish-gray skin and sharp spines or quills running down its back.It is said to be approximately 3 to 4 feet (0.9 to 1.2 m) high, and stands and hops in a fashion similar to that of a kangaroo.
Another common description of the chupacabra is of a strange breed of wild dog. This form is mostly hairless and has a pronounced spinal ridge, unusually pronounced eye sockets, fangs, and claws. Unlike conventional predators, the chupacabra is said to drain all of the animal's blood (and sometimes organs) usually through three holes in the shape of a downwards-pointing triangle, but sometimes through only one or two holes.

60. THE FIREBIRD

A magical and prophetic glowing or burning bird from a faraway land (often confused with the Phoenix and no one is to blame for that because of the striking semblance or reputation) the fire bird is both a blessing and a harbinger of doom to its captor

In Slavic folklore, the Firebird burns with flames so bright that it lights up its surroundings – and a single feather from the bird will stay alight with the same magic. Firebirds bring luck, but also doom. They are hunted and coveted, but they always bring more trouble in their wake than anyone had anticipated.

61. ICE DRAGONS

Ice dragons are colossal beats much larger than the dragons of Valyria and made of living ice, with eyes of pale blue crystal and vast translucent wings, breathing cold instead of flames.
They are actual living creatures, not undead wight dragons.

The first ice dragons came about during the Ice Age. They evolved from the water dragons but their bodies had to adapt to a cold environment; eventually, they began to produce unique adaptations such as sharp ridges and spikes of ice coating their body to protect from predators and a breath weapon of freezing air to turn foes to ice.

62. The MINOKAWA
 
The minokawa is a bird-like creature whose origins stem from Filipino culture. They describe the bird’s appearance as being strong and mysterious.

Before time began, very long ago, a great bird called Minokawa swallowed the moon. Seized with fear, all the people began to scream and made great noises. Then the bird peeped down to see what the matter was, and opened his mouth. But as soon as he opened his mouth, the moon sprang out and ran away.
The Minokawa-bird is as large as the Island of Negros or Bohol. It has a beak of steel, and his claws too are of steel. His eyes are mirrors, and each single feather is a sharp sword. He lives outside the sky, at the eastern horizon, ready to seize the moon and after the unsuccessful attempt of swallowing the satellite, it journeys and haunts again lurking under the earth.

In Filipino mythology, the minokawa is an evil creature whose goal is to destroy life itself. Every night, the minokawa tries to eat the moon and the sun. The devious bird’s end goal is to descend onto earth and eat all of humanity

63. The Ghatanothoa

Ghatanothoa is a Great Old One and the first born child of Cthulhu. It is a huge, amorphous monstrosity which is so hideous, anyone who gazes upon it (or even a perfect replica) is petrified into a living mummy. The victim is permanently immobilized—the body taking on the consistency of leather and the internal organs and brain preserved indefinitely—yet remains fully aware. Only the destruction of the subject's brain can free it from its hellish prison, though the unfortunate is likely to be incurably insane long before the welcomed release.
