Discussion Mythical zoans

[Razh]

We know they are pretty rare. Marco ate the Phoenix fruit.
Which leaves us... what?

So, I guess all human animal hybrids are out of the picture, for obvious reasons. Sea monsters like Krakens too, for obvious reasons. Giants as well.

So, the first that comes to my mind is a dragon. I think they do exist in One Piece world, but that's just me. Nevermind the anime filler, there was a dragon that Ryuuma fought in Wanted. Ryuuma was from Wano county, which was mentioned in One Piece two times. Zoro mentioned it first and later it was in Oars' flashback, concerning the hat. It doesn't have to mean that there are indeed dragons in OP, but it could point to it.
Also, we all know who the prime candidate for Dragon fruit would be. Anime had that wind painted green. Maybe it's some kind of dragon breath, but now I'm going in too deep.
Of course, it could be too obvious, but it happened before. Like with Akainu.

There could also be a Unicorn fruit. I can't imagine what powers it would give it's user. Pegasus seems too ordinary, plus there was already one in OP, kinda.

There's also hydra.

That would be all that I can think of for now. There could be a lot more candidates.

Well?

A tengu df? That'd be scary...a vampire df?Werewolf?These two would be cool

 

[Oni Giri]

as you said most of the mythological creatures are already human animal hybrids. this leaves us very limited options. giants are not mythological in the OP but there could be fire giant, frost giant, troll or colossus.other than that we have manticore,chimera, griffon, cerberus, siren, succubus, medusa?, dryad with some nature power?

 

[kkck]

I could see a Cerberus fruit lol. How awesome is it to turn into a three headed wolf or dog. I don't know if it would have any special attributes though.

The dragon is a given IMHO. We know they exist for a fact given oda's old comic so I doubt he will waste that chance lol.

I would like to see a mythical zoan reindeer, kinda like what santa has. I would think it would be an interesting encounter for chopper lol.

...If we had the Human Human fruit, can we have the Giant Giant fruit also? They aren't exactly mythical for One Piece, but mythical in real life at least.

And yeah, I'd agree that the Dragon fruit is probably a given. I'd practically stop there though since I doubt there will be more than 2-3 mythical zoans revealed in the manga, otherwise they're not really rarer than logias.

Yeah, I'd say there won't be more than 3 mythical ones all together. But it could be more, seeing how we don't know how long One Piece will last. There may be new logias and with that, even more mythical zoans.
But for now, I don't expect that we'll see more than 3.
Most of us will probably agree that a dragon is a given. But I wonder what kind of beast the third would be.

As far as giant fruit goes, I always expected that someone is going to have the power sooner or later. No such luck, so far.

I'm thinking that mythical zoan are mythical beasts - not humanoids.

so something like dragon (totally a given), chimera, gryphon, hydra, cerberus, hypogryph, unicorn, kraken, etc etc ...

 

[kkck]

Wouldn't a giant giant fruit be a paramecia lol?

 

[Fallou]

A size size fruit would be a paramecia, but the giant giant fruit would be a zoan (or so I guess)

 

[ScratchmenApoo]

Doesn't Monk Urouge have the Giant Giant Fruit or Growth Growth Fruit or something similar already ? I would classify that as a Paramecia. Giants or Trolls or goblins aren't exactly animals but humanoids.

Also, if Mythical Zoans also have extra powers according to their animal, such as healing for Phoenix, shouldn't medusas have the same petrifying powers like Boa?

 

[kkck]

A size size fruit would be a paramecia, but the giant giant fruit would be a zoan (or so I guess)

Would there be a significan difference though? Also, what would a hybrid human-giant look like? A mid sized dude?

 

[radicalbyte]

I like to think that Monkey D. Dragon'd be the dragon

We've already had an three-headed dog, and the snake women who turns people to stone. Plus the zombies and wherewolves, right? Doesn't leave many common mythical beasts over (except for the invariable Unicorn).

 

[Kimi-X]

ok i want to say something dragons do exist in one piece but it was mentioned in only two filler arcs and they're called senryuu and plus you guys put in too many mythic df's vampire no ware wolf also a no dragon yeah fairy no there are lots of different mythisal beast in the world but these df's are so rare and we olny seen a limted number (for it was one) and so thusly a limted number of creatures for us to say they're a df. and i hope i made a point cause i'm doing school work now.....

 

[Razh]

I would really like for people to stop repeating stuff that was already mentioned in other posts. If it keeps up, this discussion will just keep going into circles.

And Kimi, while I agree that dragons do exist in One Piece world, or at least, have existed, anime filler doesn't mean shit in manga discussion and it's not a real evidence.

 

[Sachsenhesse]

hm mythical beasts...

basilisks, somewhat of boas skills but an gigantic lizard ^^

 

[Razh]

I like that option more than medusa, but unfortunately there already was a basilisk in Impel Down level 2, even though he looked more like a chicken.

A lot of mythical beasts appeared in ID, and due to zoans that we've seen, all of the hybrids fall in the water.
There aren't a lot of beasts with trademark abilities which Phoenix has so it's hard to predict. My guess is, even if Dragon fruit appears, it won't be breathing fire at all, sine Phoenix obviously covers that element.
Oda might pull another surprise yet again. Just because Phoenix is sort of a traditional mythical beast, doesn't mean that the others will be so traditional.

 

[Poneglyph420]

I would really think IF we see more mythic types they could be from any mythology..
However if Oda uses Dragon type..I think it would resemble the traditional powers of Japanese Dragons.. Weather control, usually rain, thunder, lightning and mist.
I personally hope we don't see another Mythic zoan for at least 200 chapters..
If they aren't Uber rare it's less interesting....

Well weather control/ rain/ thunder/ lightning just all point to luffy`s dad.

 

[ScratchmenApoo]

I don't know the traditional powers of Japanese Dragons, but if that is true & even the name Monkey D. Dragon hints it... Some fans probably sorted this thing out way back in the first 100 chapters, although they didn't have the term Mythical Zoan to use... Very interesting.

What more traditional mythical creatures are there besides Dragon & Phoenix in the Asian culture to use in One Piece ?

 

[Razh]

Nice question. It really sums up the reasons why I opened this thread.

I found this page with eastern mythological creatures but alas, I don't have time for that now.
http://www.himmapan.com/himmapan_creatures.html

Yamata no Orochi is also a possible candidate.

But I kinda doubt that Oda will draw his inspiration from the eastern culture only. Apart from Phoenix, there was also a mention of a Gorgon, then we saw a Manticore, Basilisk, Sphinx, and possibly a Kraken (after Thriller Bark). That really says enough.
