    Top 10 Strangest Medieval Monsters

    • Number seven, Salamander. This next one might seem like an odd inclusion, since the amphibious salamander isn't mythical at all. But medieval legends of salamanders were, let's say, a little off from the real-life organism. Alchemists believe salamanders were fireproof, which is strange enough, but many depictions of salamanders deviate wildly from their actual appearance. Why so many medieval artists assigned hair and human faces to salamanders is, unfortunately, largely unclear.

    • Number four, snails. One of my personal favorites, like the salamander, medieval snails are based on their real-life counterparts, but deviate wildly from what you'd find in nature. Manuscripts portray snails as enormous, weapon-wielding juggernauts menacing knights and helpless villagers. Hilariously, historians aren't entirely sure why so many margins of medieval text feature these supersized mollusks, with theories ranging from political propaganda to the snails representing the slow but inevitable approach of death which awaits us all.
