Ancient dragons breathed fire and gobbled up humans. Fierce mythical griffins had the heads of eagles and the bodies of lions. More recently, people have reported chupacabras drinking the blood of farm animals. These monsters and more have frightened people for centuries, and have made their way into the books, movies, and games we love. Are these beasts real or imaginary? That’s not always clear. Tear into this book to learn the facts and fiction of beastly monsters . . . if you dare!
