* Monsters like the Hydra (a serpent with nine heads, that can [[Healing Factor|continually regenerate when injured]]), the Chimera (a hideous amalgamation of a lion, a goat and a dragon), Cerberus (a vicious three-headed dog that in some myths had a back covered in living serpents), Orthrus (Cerberus's two-headed, serpent-tailed little brother), and various other creatures definitely count. Perhaps the worst is Typhon -- father of the above along with the Mother of All Monsters, Echidna -- Typhn is described by some writers as being as tall as the sky itself, and having a hundred dragon-like heads, all of which screamed and breathed fire. It's not hard to see why almost all the gods had a collective [[Brown Note]] when he appeared, and fled Greece, leaving Zeus to face the creature by himself.
** And then there's creatures like Scylla and, even worse, Charybdis, once beautiful women turned into [[Eldritch Abomination|eldritch]] things of pure horror. Scylla we at least know is horrifying to observe, looking like a giant, beautiful women from the waist up, with a scaled tail below, and the heads of six, rapid wolves snapping at her waist.
