The Romans were known for their innovations in warfare, technology and architecture, but when it came to myths and the mythological beasts, they borrowed from the more poetically-inclined Greeks. These fantastical beasts, creatures and monsters, could be good or evil. Some were enemies for heroes to vanquish, some provided wisdom and help to deserving mortals and demi-gods, and some enforced the will of the gods.
