This chapter is dedicated to the rogue gods and monsters in Trigons army. Let’s begin.

Centaurs

The first Centaur was a child of Ixion, king of the Lapiths, and Nephele, a cloud made in the image of Hera. The story of how this happened is the following:
Ixion was invited to eat with the Greek gods. This guy was famous and very in touch with the gods. So he got a little drunk and decided to flirt with Hera. Hera thought this would make Zeus angry but it didn’t. She told Zeus but he needed proof. So he made a cloud replica of Hera and sent her into the party. Ixion flirted with the cloud nymph, which was called Nephele, and the next morning Ixion bragged about it with the other gods. Unfortunately Zeus was listening and killed him. Later on, Nephele gave birth to the first centaur.

Cyclops

Ouranus, the original sky god and his wife Gaia, the Earth goddess had children together. There were, how can I put this, their “attempts” to have children. The first time, Gaia gave birth to triplets. The triplets were the first Cyclops. Their names were Arges, Brontes and Steropes. Unfortunately, Ouranus was disgusted by them and threw them in Tartarus. Later on after the gods were born, the Cyclops made Zeus’ master lightning bolt, Poseidon’s trident, and Hades helmet of invisibility. 

   
Hellhounds

Hellhounds are like the wolves of the Underworld, supernatural wolves. They have mangled black fur, glowing red eyes, super strength and speed, a mirage like appearance and deadly odour. They are the size of rhinos.

Ogres

Ogres are manlike cannibals. They are inhumanly large very tall. Ogres have misshapen heads, abundant hair, very brown skin (like clay) and they are very strong.

Dracaena

Dracaenas are snake women. Their skins are made from green scales. In a way they resemble Medusa except they don’t turn people to stone. From the waist up, they are women but from the waist down where the legs should be were two snake trunks. The first time one appeared was in Skythai. The first Dracanae had the name Drakaina where the word Dracanae came from. She was the first queen of Skythai.

Talos

Talos is a giant automaton made from enchanted Bronze. He was invented to protect Crete. Some believe he was a descended of ash-tree nymphs. Talos was made by Hephaestus as a request Zeus for his demigod son Minos. He was basically made of armour but he had no face. Instead he had a blue spirit that controlled the wind trapped inside him.

Dactyl

Dactyl means fingers. They are male beings born from Rhea, the great mother. They were talented blacksmiths and healing magicians. They were created when Rhea went to Mount Ida to deliver and Gaia sprang the Dactyls to dull the cries of baby Zeus. They were three metres tall and looked like barbarians.

Giantomachian Dragon

This dragon was thrown at Athena during the giant war. She threw it into the sky where it became Draco the constellation. Trigon had the ability to pull it out of the stars and back to it's original form.

Keres

These are female death spirit. They are daughters of Nyx and their sisters are the Moirai. The Moirai controlled the fates of all souls and their brother was Thanatos, god of peaceful death.

Thalassa

She was a primordial god. A spirit of the sea. She gave birth to tribes of fishes. She and her husband were replaced by Poseidon and his wife. She faded into history.

Ladon

Ladon protected the tree in the Garden of the Hesperides. It guarded the immortal apple tree which was a gift for Hera from Zeus. It is an offspring of Ceto. Like most monsters, it was defeated by Heracles. Its brother is the Nemean lion. Ladon looked much like hydra except it had black scales and thousands of heads.

Sirens

The Sirens sing the truth about what you desire. They tell you things about yourself you didn't even realize. That's what's so enchanting about their voice. If you survive, you are said to become wiser. They are sea nymphs who lure sailors to their deaths. They were Persephone’s handmaidens. When Persephone was captured by Hades, Demeter gave them bird bodies to search the skies. They are vultures with human heads. They have grey talons and pink wrinkled necks.

Scylla

Scylla is a daughter of Ceto and Phorcys. She has a brother, Charybdis. She is a grotesque monster and was found in the sea of monsters. She has four eyes and six long necks with grizly heads. Each has three rows of sharp teeth. She has twelve tentacle legs and six dog heads ringing hair waist.
She used to be a beautiful nymph. The sea god Glaceus fell in love with her but she ran on land to get away from him. Glaceus went to Circe to get a potion to win Scylla but it didn’t work because Circe fell in love with Glaceus. Circe tried to get him to love her but it did not work. Circe was furious at Scylla. She made a potion and poured it into her bath. As soon as Scylla got in, she turned into a hideous monster.

   
Hippocampi

Hippocampi are a combination of fish and horse. From the waist up they are horses and from the waist down a fish. They drew Poseidon’s chariot.

Charybodis

She was nothing but a huge black maw with bad teeth alignment and a serious bite. She ate anything for centuries.
Charybodis was once a beautiful naiad just like Scylla. Her father is Poseidon and Gaia. Charybodis was very loyal to his father which was in an endless feud with Zeus. She rode up tides during Poseidon’s storms. She won so much land for her father that Zeus got furious.

Now you know what monsters were in this battle. You also know their back rounds and what they look like.
