These are all the mythology monsters you just have to learn about! It is far from complete but I'll add more monsters in time.
Some creatures I really find boring or non-interesting so I left them out of my list. The most famous examples of this are the Hippogriff and Mermaid (there are much more interesting merfolk out there) but for the rest most creatures from myths, legends and cryptids are here. (At least the ones you should learn about and which I really want to see more in games)

For pictures of MANY of these creatures check my pinterest page here --> www.pinterest.com/sincubus1982…
