About This Quiz

Dragons get the headlines, but myth’s real VIP list is stuffed with shape-shifters, labyrinth lurkers, and fire-born birds. This quiz invites you behind the velvet rope to mingle with twenty legendary party crashers.

Each prompt hands you a handful of clues—maybe claws and a harpoon, maybe a bull’s head echoing through marble halls—and dares you to tag the creature before it snatches valor, souls, or shiny things for itself.

Score bragging rights worthy of a Valkyrie escort, or slink away like a goblin busted in daylight—the next riddle is already sharpening its teeth. Ready to step into the myth, or will the myth step on you?
