The Aeternae were a race of legendary creatures described in the travels of Alexander the Great.[1] As Alexander's army passed northern Indian plains, they supposedly encountered the Aeternae, who killed some of Alexander's men.[2] The Aeternae were described as killing and wounding enemies with "bony, saw-toothed protuberances sprouting from their heads."[2]
