Line 25:
* Most of the guilds in ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' have a mythical motif in their name, including the titular Fairy Tail (fairies), Quatro Cerberos, Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale, Grimoire Heart (Devils), Phantom Lord and recently Sabertooth and Mermaid Heel.

* HYDRA, the ersatz [[James Bond|SPECTRE]] (who incidentally use the very similar motif of the octopuss), in the [[Marvel Universe]].
Line 37:
* The Ordo Hydra, another conspiracy group, in the [[Inquistion War Trilogy]] by Ian Watson ( a series of Warhammer 40000 novels). They are a secret group in the already secret group of the Ordo Malleus who are already part of the "mostly ignored of by the general population" group, the Inquisition. They are really secretive.
* The Manticore (a weird cross between a lion and a scorpion) is the heraldric symbol of the Star Kingdom of Manticore in the ''[[Honor Harrington]]'' series.
* ''Ice Falcon'' is a teen drama by Rita Ritchie, about a Medieval boy going on a quest to Iceland to capture a (very expensive) white falcon to ransom his father. Along the way he meets a sea captain who chants from the [[Norse Mythology|Eddas]] to mark time on fog bound coasts where it is not safe to look for landmarks. This of course stresses, "This guy is a Viking."
