legendary beings
Creatures of folklore
Legendary beings are creatures from mythology, folklore, or tradition whose existence is unverified or fictional—dragons, unicorns, phoenixes, mermaids.
The phrase implies wonder and antiquity: The forest was said to be home to legendary beings.
Someone remarkable might be called a legendary being hyperbolically: She moved through the industry like a legendary being.
