The Minotaur was a creature with the head of a bull and the body of a man. It dwelt at the center of the Labyrinth, which was an elaborate maze-like construction designed by the architect Daedalus and his son Icarus, on the command of King Minos of Crete. The Minotaur was eventually killed by the Athenian hero Theseus.

The automatones were animate, metal statues of animal, men and monsters crafted by Hephaestus or Daedalus.

The lamiai were named after Lamia, a queen of Libya. They were known as primarily demonic beings who sucked blood from young children. According to legend, they had the power to transform into the shape of beautiful young women, making it easy for them to seduce men.

A werewolf or lycanthrope is a mythological creature with the ability to shapeshift into a wolf, either purposely or after being placed under a curse or affliction.
