9 Magical Creatures on Campus

You don’t have to watch a fictional movie to enjoy some fantastic beasts! As part of our Fantastic Research project, we’re celebrating the weirdest and most wonderful of beasts that can be found across our campus! From birds to sea creatures of the deep, we’ve got it all. Can you think of any others?

 1. Grotesque Bird

No, we’re not just being rude, that really is its rather unfortunate name! ‘Lamp in the Form of a Grotesque Bird’ (~1620) by Arent Van Bolten can be found in the Red Gallery of our very own Barber Institute of Fine Art.  Designed by a Dutch silversmith, it might appear so odd due to it being designed to appear ‘ear-like’, which was fashionable at the time. Maybe ‘striking’ would be a better fit than ‘grotesque’?

2. Demonic Dragon 

The engraving of ‘The Companions of Cadmus Devoured by the Dragon’ (1588) by Hendrick Goltzius can also be found in the Barber in their Works on Paper collection.

The Barber website describes the piece as: ‘Ripping claws, fangs gouging deep into flesh, scattered heads and shredded bodies provide a graphic portrayal of the fate met by the companions of Cadmus’ - pretty monstrous stuff.

3. Fearsome Fish

The first fish appeared around 530 million years ago and are really quite fascinating! The Lapworth Museum of Geology contains an exceptional collection of fossil fish. The collection forms an important research resource for palaeobiologists within the School of Geography, Earth & Environmental Sciences, and internationally.

4. Mesosaur

Mesosaurs were the first marine reptiles, and grew up to 1 metre in length with a large tail and paddle-like limbs, which were adapted for swimming. They had long jaws with numerous small, sharp, teeth used to catch prey, such as small fish. They are found in rocks that are approximately 280 million years old but, geographically, are restricted to rocks in western Africa and South America. However, one can now be found in our Lapworth Museum!

5. Mantichora

The mystical Mantichora is presented in The History of Four-footed Beasts and Serpents (1658) by Edward Topsell, and can be found in the Cadbury Research Library.

Topsell's history is a 1100-page volume which covers old and fantastic legends about actual recognisable animals, alongside descriptions of mythical creatures such as the Hydra, the Gorgon, Shinx, Manticora, Lamia and Winged Dragon and Unicorn.

6. Boas

Another beast in the Cadbury Research Library - the Boas is a fearsome bulbous child-eating serpent that can be found in Introduction to The History of Serpents (1658) by Edward Topsell. Scary story or undiscovered monster...?

7.  Crotalocephalus Trilobite

This sea-dwelling predator is around 415 to 400 million years old and this exceptionally preserved example was found in Morocco. Listen to Katie, Assistant Curator at the Lapworth Museum of Geology, talk about this fantastical creature. 

8. Rhinoceros

This intricate Rhinoceros (1515) by Albrecht Dürer can be found in the Cadbury Research Library, in Historia animalium. Within this series of encyclopedias, the Swiss doctor Conrad Gessner attempts to describe all known creatures, including reptiles and insects. In 1515, to European audiences, the rhinoceros probably would have seemed a curious creature indeed!

9. Mermaid

Our beautiful Mermaid is the most fantastic of creatures! She features in our coat of arms and this wonderful sculpture of has sat outside the Guild of Students since 1961 - smiling at visitors and welcoming them to campus.  It was created by Birmingham sculptor William James Bloye who designed both this fountain and the mermaid relief on the exterior of the Guild of Students building.
