Favourite species in fantasy !!!

[Thessaly]

Humans - of course, I might be biased, but my favourite characters in fantasy novels always seem to be the human ones.

I also like Pratchett's werewolves and vampires; Tolkien's elves; Hans Christian Andersen's mermaids; centaurs; Borrowers, and the Nelwyns from 'Willow'!

i'll have to say those ankle slicer lizards in lww

they're so small technical and smart

The Tleilaxu in Herbert's Dune series are interesting, although Tolkien's Eldar are my favourite, being essentially better versions of us.

i'd say a chimera too since they don't have a clear cut description other than consisting of many different parts of animals and breathing fire or some other classical element

I am very much a dragon, but not those soft nice dragons, no a fire breathing, angry with plenty of attitude dragon.
For example two movies
Dragonheart: nice dragon, somewhat angry at times, but overall a nice dragon
Reign of Fire: mean,bad attitude, out to take on the world dragons, far more exciting......
I'm kind of partial to vampires also.

as much as i have always loved elves, dragons, etc., the most compelling fantasy species i can think of are the mystif, from clive barker's imajica.
