The Three Most Mysterious Monsters In Mythology | Mythical Beings of Ancient World

Mythology mentions many such scary beings, whose existence is still a mystery, but knowing about them, people's soul trembles with fear. These creatures are very much like demons who are born with some strange characteristics. You will find such mythological beings in the folk tales of every culture. Through today's story, we will explain such three most mysterious demons or monsters of ancient times that probably existed somewhere on earth.

Imp

Imp is considered to be the smallest form of demonic power, and it is very small in size, also known as a small demon. In many books, Imp is shown in such a way that it works at the will of a witch or sorcerer. Whereas some people consider this creature as an evil form of a fairy. Unlike fairies, they are small magical creatures with behavior described as being wild and uncontrollable. Because people associate fairies as being good and imps as being evil and malicious. Imps prefer to be alone and instead of befriending humans, they like to trouble them.

Eastern Dragon

The eastern dragon was very different from the dragons shown in the movies because it was a long snake-like (serpentine body) dragon, which had four legs and was usually without wings. It was so powerful that it could even control the weather elements, such as the wind and the rain. Generally, dragons were identified as terrorizing people and having an evil nature, but this was not the case with eastern dragons. These dragons were called guardians and considered a symbol of wisdom and beauty, and are seen as kind and friendly to humans. They also symbolize bringing good luck and wealth. It is believed in China that dragons are divine deities and pleasing them brings a good amount of rain. 

Shapeshifter 

Many mythological folk tales mention one such mysterious creature that can take the form of any beast-like entity such as a wolf, coyote, bear, fox, owl, and even human. No one knows the real body structure of this creature, because in folk tales it is depicted as a demon that can take the form of any living being in the world, be it human or animal, and even a small insect. It could easily transform itself into any form. This shapeshifter monster could be associated with several popular shape-shifting entities like Werewolves, Vampires, and even Skinwalkers. These shape-shifters may have acquired these powers either through demonic manipulation, or black magic.
