This is inaccurate on two levels. One, there is no known way for a tetrapod to evolve an extra pair of limbs, and two, Darwin never discovered genetic mutation. Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure: John Oro, the one writing in the margins of Mythology, was familiar enough with the legend of Midas to know what power he was gifted with, but not the disastrous results that power gave him.

Four variants exist: Arabian and Indian unicorns are the traditional lithe, graceful type, being distinguished by the Arabian variant's longer mane and short beard; Sumatran and Serican unicorns are squat, bulky, piglike animals with small horns on their foreheads. Serican unicorns even have small tusks. Our Centaurs Are Different: Classical centaurs are found in Greece and the lower Balkan Peninsula. They do not use tools as complex as those of even iron age humans, but sometimes craft rudimentary bows. Aspiring wizards can tune in to the age-old wisdom of Merlin with this dazzling compendium of all things magical -- unveiling novelty elements throughout.

Our Manticores Are Spinier: Lions with human heads, three rows of teeth and scorpion tails that can shoot poisonous, invisible barbs, evolved ia convergnent evolution. Our Mermaids Are Different: Monsterology has a pretty traditional take on Merfolk, except that they mean no harm to the people they charm with their song. They simply don't realize that humans are unable to breathe underwater. Conversely, they can't breathe air for long and Ernest Drake muses that an "overwater suit" could be designed to allow them to travel on land.For any apprentice determined to learn the arcane arts of wizardry, could there be a better teacher than . . . Merlin himself? Originally discovered in 1588, this remarkable text by history's most respected wizard is revealed to the world for the very first time. Lavishly illustrated by four delicate artists, Wizardology's intricate design even conceals a series of hidden symbols that spell out a secret message when their code is deciphered -- if the reader is clever enough to find them. Eastern dragons are split between the five-toed Chinese long and the four-toed Korean yong, Japanese ryu and an Indonesian subspecies. Tibetan dragons are a separate, but physically similar, species adapted for mountain life.
