I CALL DOWN THE POWER OF THE INTERNET!

Seriously, guys, I have about ten lessons to plan today, so I don't have time to go through Wikipedia and such. I mean, some things I know, some things are obvious, but it'd be awesome if you could do some of my work for me gimme a hand. :D


What I need are examples of well known monsters and how to kill/repel them. I'm doing gothic writing with the year 8s, and we're going to put together a quick monster slaying guide on the board as part of the work.

*grins*

I'm such a child.

Conflicting ideas or means of dealing with monsters is totally awesome, too.

da Vinci, who was probably kidding. er. one hopes.) by smelling weasel urine

I think Leo may have been thinking of Pliny, who claimed that to "throw the basilisks into the weasels' holes, which are easily known by the foulness of the ground, and the weasels kill them by their stench and die themselves at the same time" (thank you, Encyclopedia of Mythical Creatures!).

Weasel urine = foul stench without having to hunt out a weasel den?
