Mythical beast achievement

From Geohashing

This achievement was proposed in the past, but has been rejected, because it would be better suited as a gratuitous ribbon, since proving a mythical beast sighting is notoriously difficult. Please read the discussion page for more details.

As per the page proposed achievements: If an achievement has strong opposition and the reasons for opposition are not resolved through discussion, then the proposed achievements category is replaced with the rejected achievements category, the reason explained succinctly on the page, and the page otherwise marked to make sure it isn't confused with an achievements page.


Sourcerer spotted an Ent in 52,1 on 2015-01-22 and wondered if there could be an achievement for spotting and documenting Gods, Minotaurs, Unicorns, Balrogs, Questing Beasts, Ents or similar mythical beasts or creatures.

There should be photographic evidence, at least as convincing as UFO photos.

If you rode the Ent to the hash, you can claim a Beast of Burden geohash. Also... how much of 2014-11-01 48 8 38.JPG did you eat? --Ekorren (talk) 14:38, 22 January 2015 (EST)
Wonderful comment. The mushroom season ended about six weeks ago. Maybe my students spiked my coffee! --Sourcerer (talk) 14:49, 22 January 2015 (EST)
