Sea Creatures

In the sixteenth century, everyone told stories about Renaissance sea monsters, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/scary-sea-monster-legends/edira-putri&nbsp;" target="_blank">terrifying creatures that attacked sailors</a>. In 1539, a Swede named <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olaus_Magnus" target="_blank">Olaus Magnus</a> tried to explain the mysterious creatures of the North Sea to a group of Italians in a detailed map called the <a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ea/Carta_Marina.jpeg" target="_blank">Carta Marina</a>. Magnus filled the water with strange and imaginative creatures people believed in during the Renaissance.&nbsp;From the sea pig to the enormous sea serpent, Magnus’s sea monsters were terrifying to sailors. On the map, they smash ships and crush sailors.&nbsp;But some of Magnus’s sea monsters, like the “sea rhinoceros,” definitely qualify among <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/inaccurate-historical-drawings-of-animals/danielle-ownbey&nbsp;" target="_blank">the most inaccurate historical drawings of animals</a>. And other sea monsters&nbsp;were clearly made up sea creatures people really believed in, like the sea cow, which looks more like a drowning ox.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-horrifying-sea-creatures-of-all-time/eric-vega" target="_blank">Sea monsters can be horrifying</a>, but they can also seem&nbsp;pretty silly, like the sailors who mistook a whale for an island and lit a fire on his back. Here are the most terrifying, strangest sea creatures that Olaus Magnus promised lived in the ocean.&nbsp;

Witches in fiction are fascinating. On the large and small screen, across the pages of our favorite books, witch characters rule. They have wands, flowy robes, and amazing powers. They also tend to have good hair. Fictional witches are good, evil, and sometimes a little bit of both. Sometimes they sing about being wronged. Other times they turn the land black, and whinge on and on about how pretty they used to be. Fictional witches also tend to have a mean girl streak, pitting brunettes against the blondes. The ginger witches in fiction do their own thing.&nbsp;Witches in literature have been running amok for centuries, turning the land into ice, fire, and making it rain toads and such. Those particular witch characters are prone to children gobbling, cauldron brewing, and don’t seem to want anyone to be happy. Instead of making potions, or doing good in the community, witches in fiction are obsessed with thwarting a good-looking cousin.&nbsp;Shakespeare used witches in literature as prophets and harbingers of ill tidings. He also used them because they scared the Beelzebub out of theatre goers. The horrifying witches in film that mirror these kinds of nasty ladies can be found in films such as 1990’s The Witches or Hansel &amp; Gretel: Witch Hunters.&nbsp;Other witch characters have embedded themselves into the bureaucratic systems where they are especially terrifying. They sometimes get promoted to high level positions at Hogwarts and out-Voldemort the Dark Lord himself with their tea, kittens, and pink sweater sets. These particular evil beings have appeared as witches in literature and as witches in film.TV witches tend to be charming and trendy until someone hacks them off and then… black eyes and lightning hands it is (looking at you, here, Willow). Other television witches are just trying to get through <a href="https://www.ranker.com/tags/high-school?ref=internalCrossLinking_tag">high school</a> with the help of their witch aunts and talking cat.Who's your favorite fictional witch? The perpetually good Glinda or the misunderstood Elphaba? Upvote your favorite fictional witches to see who wins this witch battle royale. Don’t see your favorite witch?

Animals

You've heard their names before in movies and documentaries...perhaps even more times than actual creatures who we have bones for. Trackers have spent their whole lives in the pursuit of authenticating their existence. Others you could argue simply have a loony community of followers that rally around blurry footage and pictures which are really someone's idea of a practical joke. The question is, how do many well-known cryptids rank in believability?

Weird

This list of weird animals includes the unknown, unexplained, unidentified &ndash; and just plain terrifying. The pictures of weird creatures found all over the planet (and the Internet) will make you squint and ask, &quot;What the hell is that?&quot; Photos of them get circulated everywhere, from random no-name blogs to national and <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-news-channels/mohammed-saad?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">international news networks</a>, giving everyone a chance to make their own quasi-educated (thanks to TV and movies) predictions regarding what scientists and Internet skeptics will find out.

What are the scariest creatures ever found? What weird animals actually exist? Have alien animals been found on Earth? Read up on both the hype and found reality of each of these <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/desert-animals-and-creatures/robert-desalvo?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">animals and creatures</a>, whatever they are.

The&nbsp;legend of the giant kraken&nbsp;has made its way into books, movies, and countless <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/creepy-sea-ocean-ghost-stories/stephen-tompkins?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">tales of the sea</a>. The beast was whispered to&nbsp;wait <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/things-found-at-the-bottom-of-lakes/christopher-shultz?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">at the bottom</a> of the ocean for victims to pass by.&nbsp;Then, it would burst to the surface, its terrible tentacles crushing both ships and men and&nbsp;dragging them to a watery grave. It's a thrilling story, but&nbsp;was the kraken real?The kraken was likely based on numerous <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/scary-sea-monster-legends/edira-putri?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">mythological sea monsters</a> as well as sightings of giant squid, something that probably looked pretty freaky at the time.&nbsp;A&nbsp;closer examination&nbsp;of&nbsp;the kraken vs. the giant squid reveals the legend&nbsp;is a little exaggerated, just like any good myth. The&nbsp;fact and fiction of the kraken&nbsp;becomes&nbsp;even more interesting when you consider the actual marine creature.Was the kraken just a giant squid?&nbsp;Here's a look at the legend compared to the real thing.

The strongest heroes must face the strongest dragons. This is a constant in stories throughout time, unrestricted by any specific point on the map. Dragons fought the noble knights in medieval lore&nbsp;and the mighty samurai in Japanese folktales. They are among the most dangerous and fearsome foes humankind has ever dreamed&nbsp;up.&nbsp;

Fans of these beasts know where they can find the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/why-how-to-train-your-dragon-is-great/nathan-gibson" target="_blank">best dragons in movies</a>&nbsp;and television. It&#39;s one thing to sit around a campfire and hear&nbsp;about dragons, and a completely different thing to watch a dragon come shrieking towards the screen in front of one&#39;s own face. Thanks to technological advances, dragons are no longer things of legends and cave paintings.

But&nbsp;which of these mighty dragons is the strongest?&nbsp;

Gabriel

Gabriel (; Hebrew: גַּבְרִיאֵל‎, lit. 'Gavri'el "God is my strength"', Ancient Greek: Γαβριήλ, lit. 'Gabriel', Coptic: Ⲅⲁⲃⲣⲓⲏⲗ, Aramaic: ܓܒܪܝܝܠ‎, Arabic: جبريل, Jibrīl or جبرائيل Jibrāʾīl), in the Abrahamic religions, is an archangel. He was first described in the Hebrew Bible and was subsequently adopted by other traditions.
In the Hebrew Bible, Gabriel appears to the prophet Daniel to explain his visions (Daniel 8:15–26, 9:21–27). The archangel appears in such other ancient Jewish writings as the Book of Enoch. Alongside archangel Michael, Gabriel is described as the guardian angel of Israel, defending this people against the angels of the other nations.The Gospel of Luke relates the stories of the Annunciation, in which the angel Gabriel appears to Zechariah and the Virgin Mary, foretelling the births of John the Baptist and Jesus, respectively (Luke 1:11–38). Many Christian traditions—including Anglicanism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Roman Catholicism—revere Gabriel as a saint.Islam regards Gabriel as an archangel sent by God to various prophets, among them Muhammad. The first five verses of the 96th chapter of the Quran, the Clot, is believed by Muslims to have been the first verses revealed by Gabriel to Muhammad.The Latter Day Saints hold that the angel Gabriel is the same individual as the prophet Noah in his mortal ministry.Yazidis consider Gabriel one of the Seven Mysteries, the heptad to which God entrusted the world and sometimes identified with Melek Taus.
