*[[wikipedia:Typhon|Typhon]] is a giant monster in Greek mythology, said to be the strongest and most horrible of all Greek monsters, as well as being the father of a good number of them. Descriptions of Typhon ranged wildly from having wings and a serpentine lower half who can control storms and weather, to having many heads, hands and legs that ended in numerous serpents, and shot a white fire from his mouth and eyes.
