legendary beasts
Creatures of myth
Legendary beasts are mythical creatures from folklore, religion, or fantasy—dragons, griffins, phoenixes, unicorns, and their kind.
The phrase emphasizes their power and grandeur rather than mere strangeness: The tapestry depicted legendary beasts from ancient mythology.
In gaming and fantasy media, legendary beasts often serve as rare encounters or ultimate challenges.
