(v.2) And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. (v.3) And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. (v.4) And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should killone another: and there was given unto him a great sword. (v.5) And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. (v.6) And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. (v.7) And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. (v.8) And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
The White Horse represents the Conquering future world leader (it is not Jesus Christ), the Red Horse that of War, the Black Horse Famine, and the Pale Horse Death.

Answer 3: A long time ago, a triangle was considered a symbol of life. A ladder leaning against a wall creates a triangle. So back then, walking through any triangular shape was considered tempting your fate. The triangle may also symbolize the Holy Trinity =]

But, any other mermaid tail or idea is fine too. Everything else in the sims that you want for your mermaid is optional. such as the hair, skin, etc...

Are there lots of myths and legends surrounding dragons?
The myth of the Dragon doesn't have an exact origin. There have been suggestions in the past that the idea for the dragon may have come from dinosaur fossils. Others suggest that it is a type of ancestral memory that is combining the image of the bird of prey, the snake, and the tiger (all of which were very dangerous to our ancestors) to create the image of the dragon. Overall, the fossil idea is more widely recognized. The problem with giving a definite answer is that the dragon has simply been around too long. The dragon is one of our oldest mythological creatures. For now it appears that its origins have been lost.
The dragon is also known as a wyrm, a serpent, the Naga, and the Great Serpent; to name a few. The Great Serpent is also called the Earth Mother. She is found in myths going back several thousand years and on at least three continents. Europe, from the Black Sea eastward, where one of her early names was Dana; Asia, from the Black Sea to India; and North America, in the Serpent Peoples myths. She is said to be called the Great Serpent because she can read and write in the language of life, which takes the form of two entwined serpents and is found in all living things. haha moo.dragons were from the medeval time thought to be large ferocious flying fire breathing reptiles

What would a vampire werewolf hybrid look like?
The best example which could be given would be from the Underworld series, which showed a Lycan/Vampire hybrid, with the person being Lycan before becoming a hybrid, and a Vampire/Lycan hybrid with the person being a vampire before becoming a hybrid.
In both cases, the person has blue skin and black eyes. The primary difference is that the Vampire/Lycan hybrid has bat wings and no hair, whereas the Lycan/Vampire hybrid has black hair and more human like features (such as facial structure). However, there are only these two individuals (Michael Corvin and Markus Corvinus) who have undergone these forms of transformation, and to my knowledge the Underworld series is only film series to show such creatures, therefore other representations may exist.
How do vampires scare their victims?
Original answer - If you had some one drooling all over your neck and wanting to suck every little drop out of your body, you would be scared
Vampires would sometimes taunt their victims, mock them. Possibly drain them of blood slowly, maybe even infict some amounts of pain, but still keep victims alive until the vampires no longer needed them. It is said vampires have mental powers and can also torture and frighten mortals through their minds ect.
All canines, above anything else: owing to some struggle between their ancestors, vampires and all canines hate each other more strongly than anything else. Water: Vampires avoid total immersion in water whenever possible, because the water evaporating on their skin lowers their body temperature to the point where it is no longer quite as pleasurable to drink blood. Fire: Fire symbolizes death to all vampires, even previous pyromaniacs. Garlic: It smells uncomfortably like decaying vampire corpses.
