Why was columbus's exploration important to the understanding of monsters?

His exploration was vital to the myth about monsters because he dismissed it as nothing more than stories that were exaggerated.  The story about monsters breathing fire was probably natives who were smoking tobacco.  He did promise to bring back riches but this part was exaggerated.
