Hellenic Bestiary

Browse creatures A–Z

Find creatures of Greek myth and related fantasy RPG entries, from the Hydra and Medusa to sirens, nymphs and bronze giants. Browse the alphabetical directory below.

For a quick starting point, open the Chimera, Sphinx, Griffin, and Centaur. Each link opens the creature’s own entry.

Using the Hellenic Bestiary

This directory includes named beings, broader creature families and related fantasy adaptations. Medusa has her own entry, separate from the general medusa creature and from Euryale and Sthenno. The Hydra of Lerna is likewise distinct from the general hydra entry. Choose a named being when you want that particular mythic opponent; use the broader family for other encounters. Check the linked page’s edition before using its game statistics.

For traditional identities and ancient stories, compare Theoi’s Greek bestiary with Apollodorus’s Library, Book 2. The linked creature entries provide the game rules and any campaign adaptations.
