Mermaids were widely considered to be beautiful yet dangerous magical beings who often lured sailors and civilians to their deaths. Tales of mermaids date back to the civilization of Babylon and have been regarded as water nymphs as well as sea gods and goddesses. Eventually, they became accepted as kinder creatures during the Enlightenment when belief in mermaids began to dissolve. Similarly, unicorns have appeared in the mythology of many diverse cultures from China to Greece, and unicorns also appear in the Bible. These creatures are highly characterized as innocent and pure beings that would only interact with people who were equally as pure. The unicorn is the national animal of Scotland to this day.
