Nuppeppo.

Nuppeppō (ぬっぺっぽう, Nuppeppō) is a genderless yōkai described as having a flabby appearance and a pungent body odor.

It appears as a blob of flesh with a hint of a face in the folds of fat. Though largely amorphous, fingers, toes, and even rudimentary limbs may be attributed as features amidst of fold of the skin. The name Nuppeppō is a corruption of the derogatory slang Nupperi (ぬっぺり), used to describe a woman who applies too much makeup. This is most likely a reference to the creature's saggy appearance, which is similar to the sagging of a face under heavy makeup.

Zaratan

The Zaratan is a gigantic colossal turtle that is sometimes mistaken as an island. Over time mud and soil accumulated on its shell and bushes and trees grew on it. Sailors would settle on what they thought was an island and light a fire and set up camp. During the night while they slept the beast would sink beneath the waters drowning the unfortunate sailors.

Taniwha. In Māori mythology, taniwha are large supernatural beings that live in deep pools in rivers, dark caves, or in the sea, especially in places with dangerous currents or deceptive breakers (giant waves). They may be considered highly respected kaitiaki (protective guardians) of people and places, or in some traditions as dangerous, predatory beings, which for example would kidnap women to have as wives.

Yale.

A Yale or as it is sometimes known Centicore is a beast from classical mythology. According to Pliny the Elder, the Yale is a beast native to Ethiopia. The Yale has two flexible independent horns which can move in any direction. In combat, the Yale would usually bend one horn backward so that if the primary one gets broken off it can bring the other out front. The Yale is natural and should the Basilisk find a sleeping Yale, it will sting the creature between the eyes causing them to swell until they burst.

Coatlicue.

Coatlicue was a mother goddess in Aztec culture, but her appearance was hardly warm and nurturing.

She was closely linked to snakes. She wears a skirt of writhing serpents, which in some images are depicted as rattlesnakes. She is serpentine as well. She is often depicted with two serpent heads instead of a single human one, and in some images her hands are replaced with snakes as well. Her other major attribute is no less gruesome. She wears a large necklace of alternating hands and human hearts. Sometimes her hands are claws instead and her necklace includes skulls. In any combination, these images are unsettling.

The only indication of Coatlicue’s role as a mother is in the remaining human elements of her body. Her breasts and flattened and elongated as a result of having so many children.

Tarasque.

The Tarasque is a fearsome legendary dragon-like mythological hybrid from Provence, in southern France, tamed in stories about Saint Martha, such as the one told in the Jacobus de Voragine's Golden Legend.
