This list of mythical creatures that begin with this letter and I am constantly gathering information from each continent, and is continually being updated.
Laestrygonians (Greek)
Laestrygones, fictional race of cannibalistic giants described in Book 10 of Homer’s Odyssey. When Odysseus and his men land on the island native to the Laestrygones, the giants pelt Odysseus’s ships with boulders, sinking all but Odysseus’s own ship.
The Laestrygonians were considered to be descendants of Gaia (Earth) and Poseidon, descending from a single son of the gods, Laestrygon. Laistrygonians are said to be eight-foot-tall cannibal giants with heavily tattooed arms. They have yellow pointed teeth. Under their clothing is leather armor and they carry iron clubs.
