Typhoon was a monstrous creature and the offspring of Gaea, the Mother Earth, and Tartarus, a lower god of the Underworld. Typhoon mated with Echidna, who was half woman and half snake and they created creatures that would bring terror and mischief to mankind: Orthos, a two-headed dog, Cerberus, a three-headed dog,Lernaea Hydra, a chtonic, serpent-like creature with numerous heads and Chimaira, an awful creature with the body of a goat, the tail of a snake or dragon and the head of a lion.
Typhoon was sought to destroy the world and to put obstacles to Zeus along his way to the Kingdom of Heaven. Typhoon had a body full of feathers and on his shoulders there were one hundred heads of a fierce dragon with black tongues. The bawls of Typhoon were producing all kinds of terrifying sounds and everywhere it went to it would spread fear and disaster.
