10 Abhorrent Mythical Creatures, You’ve Never Heard of
Mythical creatures are hard to find and some are even hard to see. But some are even hard to be around. In fact, we wouldn’t suggest spending any time around these mythical creatures. You’ve definitely never heard of them before, but we can’t say you’ll have wanted to once you hear about them.
Tread lightly around these abhorrent mythical creatures.
#1. Yarbras
Yarbras are dark shadowy wolf-like mythical creatures. Their whited-out eyes constantly drip a yellow ooze.
They do not hunt in packs. They roam dark foggy mountains and foggy forests below mountainsides. They move alone and are utterly silent. If you were roaming through a foggy forest you would never know one is near you.
When they attack their victims, the yellow ooze drips into the bite holes and infects victims.
Any infected victims become ghouls, ghosts, or specters to roam that mountain or forest forever.
It is said that these mythical creatures infect forests and keep them dark forever.
#2. Carals
Carals are black birds with piercing green eyes.
If you see something even resembling a caral in a dark forest, run and don’t look back.
Carals gather around traveling folks to hopefully look them in the eyes.
Anyone who has seen a caral’s eye never lives more than a few hours.
Carals are creatures of an insidious nature and curse them victims with unfortunate early death.
They are creatures of bad fortune, as it were. When a victim makes eye contact with a caral, that caral watches them until they meet their untimely fate.
If you see one eye to eye, there is no saying how you will die, but you will surely be at that moment only a few hours from your demise.
No one knows how these mythical creatures control death, they just call it the “Caral Curse.”

#3. Sirels
Sirels are a cousin species to the siren. They are humanoid. They are mythical creatures of the wood as they look like women from the waist up but the bottom half is rooted into the ground as if they were part tree or vine.
Sirels don’t sing like sirens instead they produce a type of flower that when it is in bloom puts off an alluring aroma. Any man, woman or child nearby that smells it will be utterly compelled to follow the smell and seek it out.
When they reach the sirels flower bed they will eat the flower and fall asleep to never wake again.
Their sleep will be deep and last for months as their body slowly withers away. The sirels roots and flowers weave around and grow on the bodies of their helpless victims making more flowers to bloom and draw more prey to.
Sirels are rooted into their bed at birth and cannot move from their place their entire lifetime. If a sirel is ever uprooted from its flower bed it instantly withers and dies.
No replanting these creatures. Nose plugs anyone?

#4. Moss Bog
A moss bog is a grotesque smelly beast.
It has moss on it’s back and digs itself into the ground in moss beds and waits for unsuspecting creatures to wander too close to it.
When something is close enough it pops up and grabs the victim and takes it into the earth where it sinks its extremely poisonous teeth into it and holds it till it stops moving moments later.
After the creature is dead it eats it.
It doesn’t eat the bones.
If you see a mossy area of ground with some bones scattered and notice a grotesque odor, better steer clear.
These mythical creatures are not to be trifled with.
#5. Leered
Imagine a lion with a lizard’s head. These creatures are huge, ferocious, and extremely carnivorous.
A leered’s appetite is never satiated. It roams deserts and jungles constantly looking for its next meal.
After a kill, it wastes no time looking for another kill.
Leereds have been known to kill and it as many as 50 men in one day if they find an unsuspecting tribe or caravan.
They are fast, strong, and aggressive. They are mythical and you’d better hope they stay that way. If you see one you better hope you can kill it before it kills you.

#6. Lolas
Lolas look much like butterflies except they have one antenna instead of two and are much more brilliant and beautiful in color and patterns.
These mythical beauties fly in swarms and find sleeping victims in the night.
The female lolas are the ones that are dangerous.
In the night they fly in swarms looking for sleeping hosts to lay their eggs into. A swarm can lay one thousand egg sacs into a person while they are sleeping and each sac holds up to one hundred eggs.
When the person awakes they will be normal but within a few days they will lose a significant amount of weight as the sacs absorb their flesh.
The victim will look like a bumpy skeleton before they die from their major organs shutting down.
About a week after they die, thousands of lola butterfly creatures can be seen emerging from their corpse and flying away.
It is an eerily beautiful sight.

#7. Truggles
Truggles are basically furry spiny mythical beasts with mouths. They roam in packs and eat whatever living creatures they find.
Imagine a one-foot furry frog with razor-sharp teeth for cutting through flesh.
Truggles are disgusting nasty creatures and their bite is WAY worse than their bark.
They do bark by the way and if you are in the forest and hear a troop of them barking you’ll be happier to be warned they are close then to feel them ripping you limb from limb.
If you do hear them barking you’d better hope they are far enough off that they didn’t see you yet.
If they did see you, you’d better hope you have meat in your pack and you’d best throw it near them and run hoping it will distract them long enough for you to disappear from sight.
#8. Tregra
If you thought tigers were bad, just imagine a flying tiger swooping down on you and grabbing you around the neck.
Tregras are mythical creatures that are nearly extinct but a few still exist.
They hunt from the tallest trees and can see for miles. When they see prey they will hover from limb to limb of nearby trees and watch from above for the right moment to dive down for the kill.
Keep your eyes up and try not to be dinner.

#9. Cipher
A cipher is a female humanoid.
Humans that have seen one of these mythical misfortunes often mistake them for demons as they are massive and terrifying to behold.
They look like a woman with large spider-like legs coming out of their back. Their bodies resemble an exoskeleton more than the features of a human woman.
There have only been a few sightings of such creatures in deserted rocky places.
The dangers of these creatures are quite unknown as no one knows what they eat and most people have avoided being seen by them.
They make a terrible screeching sound as they crawl about the large boulders they live around and this screeching keeps most creatures far away from them.
Some have even speculated that they want nothing to do with flesh but that they eat certain types of minerals in rocks.
No one knows for sure, but if you saw one you’d be sure to not want to get close enough to find out.
When adventurers disappear around rocky areas like these, one can only wonder.
#10. Eeslas
Eeslas are carnivorous islands that float in the sea.
This mythical monstrosity is the largest living creature known in the sea.
Eeslas are easily mistaken for real islands because of their massive size. These mythical creatures can be 1-5 miles long given their life span of thousands of years and the amount of prey they can draw in.
Unsuspecting sailors see these mile-wide islands and stop for exotic resources.
Eeslas create a type of toxin that makes victims hallucinate. These hallucinations are usually pleasant and cause the victim to lose track of time and space.
As the sailors drink more of the water on the island and eat more of its fruit these hallucinations grow and take over the person’s mind.
In reality, the eesla’s toxin is eating away at their brain and they will eventually fall over dead. The eesla then absorbs their bodies.
The root system of the eesla in the water is also deadly for marine life. The roots put out the toxin that then gets into the marine life which causes it to be stunned and get caught up in the underwater roots. The roots attach to the animals and slowly drain them of their nutrients.
We hope you enjoyed these 10 mythical creatures that you’ve never heard of.
Use these abhorrent mythical creatures you’ve never heard of to make more of your own. Or use them in new stories that have yet to be written.
Write stories about them lurking in your fictional desert, mountain, forest, or sea.
Use their secret attributes to bring about frightening suspense and thrill as the character finds out a little too late the immense danger they are in.
The more you are able to build up the moment the more the reader will feel the punch when you finally reveal the creature and its sinister motives.
In your story don’t introduce or over-explain your mythical creatures too soon.
Write scenes where we hear about or see the remains of victims without knowing anything at all about what or who did it.
The rational world will go to animals they know about to try to explain what happened, but they’ll soon find out it is much worse.
Hopefully, you can use these mythical creature descriptions to create and describe creatures of your own.
We hope you enjoyed: 10 Abhorrent Mythical Creatures, You’ve Never Heard of and can use what you found here to write more captivating mythical creatures. New mythical creatures are popping up every day so keep an eye out for more mythical creatures.
