In the Middle Ages, travelers brought home tales from all over the globe of wondrous and fantastic plants and beasts - but many of these travelers were just relaying stories they'd heard instead of things they'd actually seen.
These stories, in turn, were written about by educated men who'd never traveled. And they were illustrated by artists who only had hearsay to go by. It's no wonder they were completely misunderstood.
