Mythological Creatures

Long ago, people imagined animals that were a little… mixed up — a horse with wings, a man with the legs of a goat. Here are six famous mythological creatures. Some of the names are tricky, so try saying them out loud.

Something to think about

There are no right or wrong answers here — just say (or write) what you think:

Which one would you ride, if you had the chance? Why?
If you could be one of these creatures for a day, which would you choose?
Which creature looks the most dangerous? Which looks the friendliest?
The satyr is half goat. Would you trust a half-goat? Be honest.
Invent your own creature: which two animals would you combine, and what would you call it?
