Minotaur
In Greek mythology, the Minotaur ( Latin: Minotaurus), was a creature with the head of a bull on the body of a man or, as described by Roman poet Ovid, "part man and part bull". He dwelt at the center of the Cretan Labarinth, which was an elaborate maze-like construction designed by the architect Daedalus and his son Icarus, on the command of King Minos of Crete. The Minotaur was eventually killed by the Athenian hero Theseus.
A Minotaur is a ferocious beast in Greek Mythology, it had strong teeth, a set of iron strong horns, long muscular arms and massive cloven hooves for feet--Much like a satyr.
Minotaurs feature as an enemy in many books, games and movies (they are vicious beasts after all) therefore giving them an intimidating and evil reputation. Minotaurs are very large beasts.

Drakon (pronounced-dra-kon, not drae-kon)
Ladon was a hundred-headed Drakon which guarded the golden apples of the Hesperides and tormented the Titan Atlas as he held the heavens on his shoulders. The creature was slain by Herakles when the hero was sent to recover the golden apples, and placed amongst the stars as the Constelation Draco. There he is entwined around the northern pole (which was perhaps imagined as a tree, or even as the tree of the Hesperides itself).

Chimera (Pronounced-kim-erra)
The Chimera was, according to Greek Mythology, a monstrous fire-breathing female creature of Lycia in Asia Minor, composed of the parts of three animals: a lion, a serpent and a goat. Usually depicted as a lion, with the head of a Goat arising from its back, and a tail that ended in a snake's head, the Chimera was one of the offspring of Typhon and Echidna and a sibling of such monsters as Cerberus and the Lernaean Hydra. The term chimera has also come to describe any mythical or fictional animal with parts taken from various animals.
