Silly Medieval Monsters



Medieval Monsters can get a lot more complicated than the stereotypical Goblins and Ogres. Take the Mercury Python, for example. An Alchemical Chimera with three snake-like heads and a giant, human face in the torso. Or, if you prefer, the Blemmy, a bizarre headless man often drawn on the edges of maps to symbolize the “Unknown World.” Kinda like a significantly less cool take on the “There Be Dragons Here” trope.

  1. Ok, here's all the florshes i could find:
    One at 0:18 on the tree
    One at 0:36 on the wand
    One at 0:24
    One at 0:42 in space as well as one on the planet
    One at 1:12 on the wing
    One at 2:01 in the sun's sunglasses
    One at 2:12 on the dragon's tail
    At 2:33 there's one on the lion thing's tail, one in the archer's hair and one as a button in the upper right image
    Pretty sure i saw one at 3:08 in Africa
    And one at 4:02 on the beard

  2. I honestly didn't expect the number to be that high, especially considering I took a break for a bit. Someone's probably beaten me with the florshes in this video though. However that doesn't mean I'm not gonna take the bragging rights.
