Do the sources in this article actually use the term "legendary creature" as used in this article? :bloodofox: (talk) 17:04, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

Opening sentence

Perhaps this came after a lot of compromises and additions or something, but the current article opener is a holy mouthful. I made bold the stuff that doesn't seem like it makes the sentence any more informative:
A legendary, mythical, or mythological creature, traditionally called a fabulous beast or fabulous creature, is a fictitious, imaginary and often supernatural animal, often a hybrid, sometimes part human, whose existence has not or cannot be proved and that is described in folklore or fiction but also in historical accounts before history became a science.
What is the difference between mythical and mythological, and why isn't one enough? Giving the "fabulous beast"/"fabulous creature" alt name is questionable because I doubt that term was used for any and all sorts of legendary creatures. Saying it's usually a hybrid is kind of specific, and the "sometimes part human" is far too specific to lead with. "but also in historical accounts before history became a science" is just going to confuse readers. Syrian elephants were only attested in Ancient sources, yet they are not "legendary".
