Deuteronomy talks about Dragons
Numbers, Isiah and Job talk about Unicorns
Kings and Revalations talk about Elephants
Even Basalisks, Whales and leviathons (which are sodding Dinosaurs if you ask me) get mentioned
Who would have thought so many mythological critters would have made it in - who said the Bible was made up?

The correct rendering for the Hebrew term re´em´is aurochs which was a powerful two horned ox extinct by the 17th century. Unicorn is not the correct rendering.
The Leviathan is hippopotamus.
Dictionary.com didn't have a reply for Basalisks.
Of course Satan is the great dragon of Revelation and different versions use 'serpent' instead of the word dragon in their works.
Dragons exist by the way, just not the fire breathing ones.
Hope this helps.

Don't forget the Giants in Genesis.
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
Gen 6:2That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
Gen 6:3And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also [is] flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
Gen 6:4There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of renown.
