Chimera:
The Chimera was a creature with a lion’s head and a goat’s head. Its tail was a snake. Bellerophon killed the Chimera riding the Pegasus, another mythology creature.
The term chimera has come to describe any mythical or fictional animal with parts taken from various animals, or to describe anything composed of very disparate parts, or perceived as wildly imaginative, implausible, or dazzling.
Minotaur:
The Minotaur was a creature with a bull’s head and a man’s body. Its name means ‘bull of Minos’. It lived in the labyrinth of King Minos. Theseus killed the Minotaur.
“Minotaur" was originally a proper noun in reference to this mythical figure. The use of "minotaur" as a common noun to refer to members of a generic species of bull-headed creatures developed much later, in 20th-century fantasy genre fiction.
Hydra:
The Hydra is an ancient Greek mythical monster that was mentioned in the tale of the twelve labors of Hercules (also called Heracles). The hydra has many heads (possibly 7, 8 or 9), the number of head varies from different versions of the legend, however, more accounts agree on nine. It was said that the middle one was immortal and it has very poisonous venom and breat.
