A Show Packed with Legendary Creatures and Big Surprises

"Dragons and Mythical Beasts" isn’t just a show; it’s a call to arms for all brave souls ready to enter a world teeming with legendary creatures that will challenge, surprise, and delight. Step cautiously—this isn’t a tame fairytale! Be prepared to confront the menacing Stone Troll, encounter the wise but elusive Japanese Baku, and perhaps most intriguingly, meet the Tooth Fairy, who’s not quite as sweet as the myths might suggest. And just when you think you've met them all, a majestic Griffin and an adorable Unicorn will remind you of the gentler side of these enchanting worlds.

Each character is brought to life with mind-blowing puppetry by the creators behind *Dinosaur World Live*, adding an extra layer of wonder and realism that will leave both kids and adults spellbound. For anyone who grew up fascinated by dragons, griffins, and tales of legendary beasts, this show is the ultimate wish fulfilled.
