The Dream Warrior: The Lightning Thief

Creatures

Satyr(Satyrs are creatures with the upper body of a man and the lower body of a goat complete with hairy goat legs and hooves, as well as goat horns, and the pointed ears of a goat. When in public, they tend to be clumsy, for they have to wear fake feet and hats (such as Grover's rasta cap) so that the sound or appearance of their hooves or horns won't draw unwanted attention from mortals)

Centaur(Centaurs have the torso and head of a man, and body of a horse. They are also great healers and archers, like the children of Apollo)

Nereid(The Nereids are the fifty daughters of Nereus and Doris. They are minor sea goddesses and matrons of both sailors and fishermen)

Cerberus(Cerberus is the three headed guard dog of the Underworld)

Pegasus(Pegasus are winged horses. They have been known to come in a variety of colors from white, black, brown and even mixed colors (ex: brown and white). They are named after the original Pegasus and are his offspring)

Phoenix(A Phoenix is a mythical bird of fire that is reborn from its ashes after death)

Siren(The Sirens were sea nymphs who lured sailors to their death with a bewitching song)

Cyclops(Cyclops are one-eyed giant. They are very strong and are considered to be ugly by most people)

Harpy(Harpies are winged spirits of sharp wind. They are known as the hounds of Zeus and are the cleaners of Camp Half-Blood)

Naiad(Naiads are the daughters of the Potamoi, the river gods, and thus grandaughters of the Titans Oceanus and Tethys. They are nymphs which preside over bodies of fresh water. The naiads are divided into various sub-classes: krenaeae (fountains), pegaeae (springs), eleionomea (marshes), potameides (rivers), and limnades or limnatides (lakes). They are intimately connected to their bodies of water, as their own existence seems to depend on it. If a spring dried out, the Naiad presiding over it might die)

Dryad(Dryads are female spirits that are associated with trees. The Dryads are waitresses at Camp Half-Blood during mealtimes and compete with the campers in running races)

Hippocampus(Hippocampus are creatures that resemble a combination between a horse and fish. They are under the jurisdiction of the god of the seas, Poseidon. They were used to draw Poseidon's chariot and seafoam was created by their movement)

Talos(This Talos is a smaller and defective prototype of the original Talos that the Argonauts encountered. He is a giant bronze automaton made by Hephaestus)

Keres(The Keres are battlefield spirits of famine and disease that feed on violent deaths and are polluting spirits. The Keres are daughters of the Primordial Goddess Nyx. In mythology, they were often found wandering battlefields. In later times, they were also regarded as the vengeful spirits of the dead)

Arai(The Arai are the daughters of Nyx, Primordial of the night. They are female spirits of curses, particularly those of placed by the dead upon those responsible for their death. Once an arai is cut down, their curse is released upon their killer. They are sometimes misidentified with the Erinyes or Furies, three female spirits of vengeance. The difference is that, unlike the arai, the Erinyes are controlled by Hades; while the arai are not)
