The gwiber flies through the sky. An illustration by Rowynn Ellis.
The gwiber was a huge serpent in Welsh folklore that could move equally well through land, sea, and air. It couldn't be defeated in fair combat, but was shot with arrows as it slept. The gwiber's children were much smaller and weaker - the first adders of Britain.

A depiction of a unicorn from some bestiary, artist unknown. It shows a donkey-like horse with a massive horn as long as the rest of its body.
Prior to the King James Bible unicorns were not in the Bible; many cases of oxen were replaced with unicorns, in places of metaphor or simile and when describing strength or resilience. As the unicorn was part of James' standard, it was to flatter the new king. #FairytaleTuesday

Flogdrakes are wingless serpentine dragons in Swedish and Finnish folklore. They glow while flying across the sky, looking like streaks of fire or shooting stars. Flogdrakes will drill into mountains to create long tunnels where they live and hide their treasure.
