The Monsters History Tried to Forget

Weird, Wild, and Once Feared Monsters Lost to Time

History is full of strange creatures. Some may not haunt our imaginations today, but their stories provide a fascinating glimpse into the fears of the past.

Bycorne The Bycorne was a cow-like beast with a human face that thrived on “patient husbands” for food. His spouse, Chichevache, ate patient wives but was always lean. The Bycorne’s legacy reflects how folklore blended humor and fear with cultural commentary. Lamia In Greek mythology, Lamia was a beautiful queen who became a child-devouring monster. Her name later became synonymous with witches and female demons. Snallygaster A reptilian-winged beast, the Snallygaster emerged in early 20th-century American folklore, inspiring public hysteria before fading into obscurity. However, its name survives in “snollygoster,” a term for an unprincipled person.

Though these monsters vanished from everyday discussions, their stories remind us that legends and the words used to describe them are constantly evolving.
