Here is a list of mythical creatures beginning with this letter and I am constantly gathering information from each continent and continually updating.
Axex (Ancient Egyptian)
The axex is a legendary creature in Egyptian mythology. It has a head of a hawk and a body of a lion. These creatures are very similar ot the griffin by looks and by behavior. The skull of the Axex is adorned with three curved appendages which some researchers have suggested bear a resemblance to the crest found on modern-day roosters.
This also suggests that depictions and the possible human interaction with the Axex were males of the species. The ancient Egyptians worshipped them as gods. Some researchers conclude that human interactions with these unique creatures were almost solely with that of the, presumably predatory, males of the species.
