You know, when you think about it, a lot of monsters are just two creatures mixed together, like griffins are eagles and lions, hippocampi are eagles and fish, and centaurs are horses and people.	Um, actually, hippocampi are a mix of horses and fish.	Alex Song
The Fantastic Four actually often constitutes six individuals in modern storylines. Reed Richards, Susan Richards, Ben Grimm, Johnny Storm, and the Richard's children, Franklin and Valeria.
