Beastiary

A book usually containing mythical creatures and information about them. Mostly used in olden times (when people thought dragons existed). It could have gryphons, dragons, manticores, unicorns, pegasus, sea monsters, and much more. It could also be a document of non-mythical creatures such as foxes, deer, wolves, hedgehogs, and so on.
