Mythical Creature Name Generators
Names for mythical creatures from legend and folklore: phoenixes, unicorns, griffins, mermaids, pegasi and more.
These mythical creature name generators cover the beasts of legend, from Greek myth to the stories still told today. A phoenix wants a name that sounds like fire and dawn, a griffin something proud enough to guard a mountain of gold, and a unicorn anything from Moonwhisper to Sir Prance-a-Lot.
Under the sea there are mermaid and merman names, and in the sky winged horses. For the bigger beasts, try the Dragon and Monster name generators. From Greek myth there are centaurs, minotaurs and the many-headed hydra, plus wyverns from heraldry and hellhounds, with a name for each of three heads.
From folklore and fantasy games come trolls, ogres and giants of every kind, the yeti of the high Himalayas, cathedral gargoyles and golems of clay, stone and iron.
From the sea come sirens and the kraken; from the Greek wilds, nymphs and satyrs. And for the strangest beasts of legend there are genies, sphinxes, the manticore and the basilisk.
