mythical creature

Unicorn or griffin

A mythical creature is an imaginary being from folklore, legend, or fantasy—dragons, unicorns, griffins, mermaids.

The term distinguishes such beings from real animals and from religious figures whose existence believers accept.

The phoenix is a mythical creature that rises from its own ashes.
