There are many biological basis that can explain many of the things in mythology.

breathing fire you can consider the bombadier beetle that essentially create a napalm like substance from mixing two chemicals in a pouch then ejecting it at high pressure.

Apes and Monkeys have muscles that are 2 - 3 times stronger per unit length than human muscle, it is just we dont need to climb in trees anymore so the overly strong and dense muscles are a waste of energy.

with the centaurs it becomes a different matter, we only have 4 limbs because of a common ancestor, arachnids have 8 limbs because of thier common ancestor. There was a mutation that brought about a certain feature.
