Endangered Species: Dragons, phoenixes especially (allegedly, the phoenix is so rare that only one is believed to still be alive and its location is a closely guarded secret). Shapeshifter Showdown: The Wizardology book describes one that occurred between Cerridwen, a powerful witch, and Gwion, a servant who gained magical powers by accident. Cerridwen technically won, but Gwion was reborn from the experience and became an incredibly powerful wizard. The book was part textbook style, talking about the creatures lives, diets, health and more, and part travel guide where the monsterologist discusses his travels looking for these monsters. The information is quite detailed, and interesting to read. This was a highly entertaining book that discussed many common mythological monsters, as well as those that are still commonly talked about today such as kraken's and sea serpents. Note: If you find a creature that is not on our list and wish to supply us with the information and screenshot for said creature, please leave it in the comments section below. We will credit you for your finding by adding it to the list with your name underneath it.
Monsterology, the study of fabulous beasts other than Dragons, was originally considered a branch of Wizardology rather than a field in its own right. However, Dr. Drake decided to correct the pro-dragon imbalance with his now famous monsterological study. Giant Flyer: Dragonology and Monsterology, respectively, have wyverns and rocs as flying creatures of tremendous size, both quite capable of grabbing elephants in their talons and flying off with their catch. Doing In the Wizard: Dragonology and its spinoffs have a tendency to replace mythical creatures more supernatural or wondrous attributes with more down-to-earth explanations. Cyanide Pill: The Spyology gadget section describes a variant where the cyanide is hidden in a hollow silver dollar. In 1898 famed Dragonologist, Dr.Ernest Drake set forth on his yacht, The Hydra for a year-long voyage around the world to start a new science, he deemed it "Monsterology". He also started a new society. He called it the Societas Monstrorum.Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti: Yetis are mentioned in Dragonology as a type of mountain apes preyed upon by Tibetan dragons. Both yetis and sasquatches appear in Monsterology, where it states it is unknown if they are bears or apes and are named Ursus saxum and Ursus sasquatchium, more leaning towards bears. The yeti's illustration shows it as a bipedal hominid ape anyway. Monsterology also mentions some of their relatives which includes the Yowie of Australia, the Yeren of China and the Almas of Mongolia. Toothy Bird: The phoenix. Justified because it's not a bird at all, but a dragon (although it's a toothless bird in Monsterology). Dragon Hoard: Dragons' hoarding instinct is driven in large part because lying on their hoards presses gems into their soft underbellies, creating a form of armor over these vulnerable areas.
All of the dragons are classified in the genus Draco. This is a real genus, and it is occupied by several species of gliding lizard from southeast Asia. Because the dragons in the books are look nothing like that lizard, they cannot be members of that genus. Always a Bigger Fish: Monsterology's chapter on aquatic creatures employs this in regard to sea monster food chains. Sea serpents prey on whales, krakens prey on both whales and sea serpents and leviathans happily eat whales, sea serpents and krakens alike. Nihon Falcom President On Trails Of Cold Steel III And Bringing The Long-Running JRPG Series To Switch 18 A second major volume by the esteemed Dr. Drake -- a lavish exploration of fantastical beasts, from yetis to unicorns. All mythical creatures are real!In 2008, Universal Studios acquired the film rights to the Dragonology series, with Leonard Hartman set to write and executive produce the adaptation. [5] In August 2012, it was reported that Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci would produce the film for Universal. [6] Our Wyverns Are Different: Wyverns appear as a dragon species in Dragonology, where in something of a break from tradition they're the single largest species of dragon in the world and mainly live in Africa, where they hunt elephants and rhinoceri in much the same manner as eagles hunting marmots. Dragonology and Monsterology frequently reference the work of Charles Darwin when discussing the development of creatures such as dragons and griffons (Dr. Drake having been alive in the time period when his texts were being published). Drake also claims that Archaeopteryx is actually just an ancestor of phoenixes (something confirmed to be false in Dinosaurology).
Eastern dragons are split between the five-toed Chinese long and the four-toed Korean yong, Japanese ryu and an Indonesian subspecies. Tibetan dragons are a separate, but physically similar, species adapted for mountain life. Wizard Classic: Merlin himself in the Wizardology series. This is said to be the standard for a lot of Western wizards, although many variations exist in other cultures. Arbitrary Skepticism: In Monsterology, Ernest Drake denies the existence of the minotaur and the Mongolian death worm despite accepting the existence of griffins, centaurs and gorgons. Throughout the books, he also expresses skepticism on the subject of dinosaurs, which he describes as "rather improbable creatures", although he accepts their former existence in Monsterology. Sweet Polly Oliver: Arabella Drummond dressed up as Captain Lubber’s cabin boy to spy on him. Her origin story also involves this as a means of escaping into piracy.Our Manticores Are Spinier: Lions with human heads, three rows of teeth and scorpion tails that can shoot poisonous, invisible barbs, evolved ia convergnent evolution. Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure: John Oro, the one writing in the margins of Mythology, was familiar enough with the legend of Midas to know what power he was gifted with, but not the disastrous results that power gave him. Pirate Parrot: In the finale of Pirateology, the rescued castaway’s pet parrot flies over to Drummond’s pirate ship. The ardent student of nature soon learns that those creatures we name foul and terrible monsters are in truth the most fabulous beestes awaiting amaz’d discoverie.” A fun look at different beasts from myth and legend. It’s like a field guide to select creatures with notes, diagrams, illustrations and even “skin samples”.
