1. What mythical creatures are known for being strong yet gentle or being kind to humans? 2. What mythical creatures are known for being smart and logical that act cold but really aren't cold?

(If you can't find any mythical creatures EXACTLY like the questions then you can put mythical creatures that are somewhat similar to what the question asked)

Also, I'm hoping for mythical creatures that aren't too popular or overused like unicorns or dragons.
