Color legendary monsters by number, then hear the myth behind each one.
Painted Bestiary turns more than 100 myths and legends into color by number paintings. Medusa, the Hydra, Fenrir, the Kraken, the nine tailed fox, the Minotaur and more wait for you, one number at a time. When the last piece is colored, the myth opens: the full story, where it comes from, and what may lie behind the legend.
