Mythology has many mysterious creatures that defy explanation, but one thing we may not remember is that for a long time, said creatures were imagined to be real. So real in fact that in many "Natural Histories" that gave explanations for all creatures, both those that we are familiar with and those that are incredibly bizarre. After all, to someone like Pliny the Elder, there was about as much evidence for the existence of the Platypus as there was for a Dragon. And today you will be doing just what Pliny did. When you want to begin fill out this google form with a link to several images of creatures from various mythologies and a list of which creatures may be depicted. You can use this wikipedia page and the links therein to figure out which creatures are depicted in the images. You may not perform any reverse image searches or use any other method of outside assistance, but it shouldn't help anyway (we have taken extensive measures in the pictures to ensure this). Put your answers in your confessional to stop your time. You are allowed to resubmit your answers, but obviously that will also change your final time. The most points in the fastest time will win immunity. You have 24 hours to begin this challenge. Time Expectations: This challenge should take no longer than an hour. Communication: You may not discuss this challenge with anyone. |

To stop someone from accidentally closing the form, rather than putting a load of links maybe putting a link to an imgur thread with all the pics on the one page (if you upload to imgur from your computer and upload all pics at once it'll give you all pics in 1 page)

not sure what the deal with the wikipedia page is, but generally this is good stuff

Basically I realized that if I allow google typing in what the picture generally describes made it too easy. But most people don't just know magical creatures off the top of their head. So in order to not just let it be too easy but still have them be able to use a resource, I linked that wikipedia page. If there are better ideas to solve that issue I'd love to hear them, this one has had to be redesigned a number of times

First a link to the gallery of creature and the Answer Key: Answer Key
A - Kelpie or Hippocampus (after deliberation the mods decided either should be a valid answer)
B - Drop Bear
C - Kitsune
D - Grootslang
E- Cockatrice
F - Dullahan
G - Mapinguari
H - Umibozu
I - Wendigo
J - Cherufe
With that did anyone not get all 10 correct?
Papatuanuku only got 9 correct, everyone else got all 10.
But what were the times of those who did get all 10 correct? Hades completed it in: 0:26:36! Maat & Hathor completed it in: 0:29:37..so Hades is still in the lead Jesus completed it in: 0:12:03! Which means
Jesus wins immunity!
