Your Favorite Mythological Creatures

[fallenstar]

Mine is the Tolkien Elves (I heard they were based on the Elves in Norse Myth, if so, then technically my favorite will thus be the Elves in the Norse Myth). Also I like Griffins... and Unicorns in the sense that it is such a strong creature in the game Heroes of Might and Magic (lol...too much gaming..) But I stongly dislike those cute, loving, caring, unicorns that a six years old girl would like to play with. So in a way I only like the Unicorns when they are angry and are fighting..lol...

My all-time favorite beast would be the dragon. So different by every view, so unique, but at the same time they are all the same too...I just find them fascinating. Just about every mythology has at least one recognizeable dragon going back through recorded time. Makes me wonder if the dinosaurs did hang about for longer than we imagined

Phoenix.

I've always had a soft spot for griffins, and for winged lions.

 

[Winters_Sorrow]

The Hydra for me

 

[Animaiden]

My favorite mythological creature has been and always will be the dragon. My first fantasy book was Dealing with Dragons by Patricia Wrede, so I"ve always had a soft spot for dragons. A good portion of my books have some form of dragon in them. Yay Dragons.

 

[Thunderchild]

definitly The Minator (note the capital letters) - mostly cuz of a pic i saw of it in an old childrens book about greek myths, it looked so bad ass

 

[Culhwch]

I like giant birds, like the eagles of Middle-earth, or the rocs of arabic legend. Couldn't say why. Just like 'em, is all.

 

[stirdgit]

The Phoenix, for its symbolism. Berserkers... just because.

 

[Foxbat]

Medusa - particularly the Harryhausen incarnation in Clash Of The Titans

 

[Tsujigiri]

Nyarlathotep, most of the Cthulhu Mythos creatures give me the creeps delightfully

 

[nixie]

The unicorn also like Pegasus and dragons

 

[littlemissattitude]

I've always kind of liked Medusa...There have been people I've wanted to turn to stone before.

 

[Yvienn]

I also like dragons. They are so majestic, they have so much pride, they are individuals, almost aristocratic and don't care much for the present times and the world around them. They are well described in the saga of Ursula Le Guin.

But generally my favourite myth creatures are three: dragons, vampires and angels.
