festive bestiary/ feast-day bestiary
I'd say the collection of beasts are possibly on the floats, but you should be able to work this out from the context. See links below:

Festive Beasts
I've seen carroza or carro for floats but I think that this term might need a detailed description.
Example sentence:
Massalfassar de diez metros de largo y cuello retráctil, que se incorpora así al amplio bestiario que integra este cortejo festivo previo a la cremà de las fallas de Valencia, informaron fuentes de la organización

fantastical creatures
My initial impression is that the author is alluding to the fantastical animal imagery of medieval bestiaries that showed the people of Europe these unbelievable, incredible, and often made-up animals from the far corners of the earth--lions and tigers, gryphons, unicorns, etc. Many of the imaginary beasts in a beastiary combined parts of two or more animals.
Said St. Bernard of Clairvoux about bestiary imagery: "What profit is there in those ridiculous monsters, in that marvelous and deformed comeliness, that comely deformity? To what purpose are those unclean apes, those fierce lions, those monstrous centaurs, those half men, those striped tigers, those fighting knights, those hunters winding their horns? Many bodies are seen under one head, or again many heads to one body. Here is a four-footed beast with a serpent’s tail; there a fish with a beast’s head. Here again the fore-part of a horse trails half a goat behind it, or a horned beast bears the hind quarters of a horse."
Here's an interesting compendium of typical creatures from medieval beastiaries:
