I have to say, I'm very disappointed. Much like the creativity I wrote about earlier when naming masterpieces, I can't believe that after all the years us humans have been around we haven't done any better in the mythical creatures department.
They're really unoriginal. A unicorn is just a horse with a horn on it. And that's our best one! The unicorn is the go to mythical creature. But they're all just other animals combined. Dragon? Lizard + bat. Griffin? Lion + eagle. These people had no TV, no internet, no radio, tons less literature around, and that's the best they could do?
And it gets even lazier! "Uh....let's just make a person and something else..." Medusa. Snake Man. Minotaur. Bull Man. Werewolf? Wolf Man. Spider-Man? Jeez we're still doing it.
If I was doing a unicorn it would have way more than one horn, probably some wheels, a microwave, some sort of vacuum attachment, some dust from the Rings of Saturn, Tungsten, and fire. Or maybe even a few things that don't even exist yet. Anyone can just think of random objects and put them on a horse. If we have a goal for these next 2,000 years or so, it should be outdoing our forefathers in the mythical creature department. Who's with me?
