Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. When observing their long-armed, bloated, Aboriginal cousin, which has the face of a dog and the body of a human, Werewolves are usually reassured about their own physical appearance.
Which mythical creature is being discussed here?
2. Admittedly, a Werewolf's breath is not the freshest around, but it is nowhere near as ghastly as Gugallanna's. This beast of Sumerian origin is said to have killed two hundred warriors with a single exhalation.
What type of animal is Gugallanna?
3. As creatures of the moon, Werewolves must endure the bitter cold of night. However, they are likely to thank their lucky stars that they do not live inside the scorching sun, like the Adaro.
In which region's mythology does the Adaro appear?
4. Werewolves are very conscious about the way they look (just thinking about 1971's "Werewolves on Wheels" makes most of them cringe), but, when it comes to odd appearances, few mythical beasts can rival Trelquehuecuve of South America.
Which of these odd descriptions most accurately describes Trelquehuecuve?
5. Werewolves may sometimes question their own identity - are they men or wolves? But this is nothing compared to the problems this next Babylonian creature may face. This being is part man, part lion, part fish and part donkey. What is its name?
6. Werewolves can often be lifted by the fact that their design is perhaps closer to perfect than any other mythical beast. Too bad the same cannot be said for the ogre-like Aigamuxa, which experiences much difficulty in finding its victims. Why is this?
7. Werewolves must always steer clear of silver bullets, but if they were anything like the Chilean Alicanto bird, they'd probably want to avoid this precious metal altogether.
What strange relationship does the Alicanto have with silver?
8. The gruesome appearance of the Werewolf will always ensure a scream or two, unlike this next creature, whose bald head, dwarf-like stature and pig steed are more likely to warrant a dismissive chortle than a scream.
What mythical creature is being discussed here?
9. The descriptive name of the Werewolf means that those who have never seen one can still form a pretty accurate picture of what they are. However, the same cannot be said for the Devil Fish, which is neither the Devil, or a fish.
In which country's mythology are you most likely to come across the Devil Fish?
10. If a Werewolf ever doubts its potential to terrify, all it must do to gain perspective is to observe this next bizarre English creature, which specialises in annoying people by turning their milk sour.
