The Panotti were giant eared creatures
They are mentioned by classical writers such as Pliny the Elder, who writes that
they live in the "All-Ears Islands" off Scythia. Pomponius Mela, however, writes
that they lived near the Orkneys, sharing an island with other creatures: Oeonae
(who eat only oats and marsh bird eggs) and Hippopodes (who possess the feet
of horses).Isidore of Seville also mentions the Panotti.
The Blemmyae. Headless people, with their face on their chest.
