Favorite Mythological Creature

[Skeleon]

I LOVE Snorlax. If I could be a Pokemon, that would be the one.

I always felt that Onix is the coolest.
But I'm a Hiker, after all.

Does Cthulu count?

Only if you can both say and SPELL his name correctly. Cthulhu.

I'm going to say - Loki. The ultimate trickster, half-giant, half-god. Bound by nothing, enemy of nobody, ally of the chaos.

Yes, he's that awesome.

I don't know how it's spelled anymore, because I've seen it spelled in too many ways.

if kratos and cthulu somehow combined then got turned into a werwolf

 

[AlexanderAstartes]

Werewolves and elves..... can an elf be turned into a werewolf?

In King's Bounty they can. Although doesn't "Were-" mean man? I guess they'd have a different name.

Oh, and the Minotaur for me. That, or the Barghest. It lives out on the North York Moors; I keep meaning to go look for it...

 

[New York Patrick]

Does Cthulu count?

No... Cthulhu is Real...

Whats a manticore?

It has the body of a red lion, a human head with three rows of sharp teeth (like a shark), and a trumpet-like voice. Other aspects of the creature vary from story to story. It may be horned, winged, or both. The tail is that of either a dragon or a scorpion, and it may shoot poisonous spines to either paralyze or kill its victims. The creature's feet may also be of a dragon.
Mine would have to be the Sphinx. Like a manticore, but less lame.

 

[[Cold-Shoulder]]

Spoiler: Caution! Not for the feint-hearted!

I was going to say something else but after witnessing the awesomeness of this creature I have completely forgotten about it.

Mine would have to be.... The Unicorn!!

If you do like unicorns then I recommend this video for you.

Let me warn you.
If you watch this video you'll never see unicorns, elves and transformers the same again. 0_0

 

[Zealous]

Dragons. And not the crappy middle age ones. The 200 foot long ones. Anyone who read Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Last Olympian knows what I'm talking about.

 

[Hazy]

The Esquliax; the horse with the head of a rabbit and, the body, of a rabbit.

Chief Wiggum? Is that you!?

OT: Cthulhu.

 

[fluffybunny937]

phoenix

 

[oppp7]

Dopplegangers. Shapeshifting would be cool.
As for the ones I hate most: I'd say dwarves. Overdone and always basically the same character.

 

[General Thrax]

I would have to say Jörmungandr. I mean, come on, he's large enough to encircle the enitre world AND he killed Thor during Ragnarok!

 

[Vkmies]

That would be a scorpicore. The HoMM-kind. Thats the upgraded manticore. (http://users.vianet.ca/grizelda/fur/HMM3v_scorpicore.gif)

And since im finnish, i have to love the finnish mythology. Out of it, i have to say that my favourite one is "näkki". Information from monstropedia.com:

In Finnish mythology, a Näkki (Estonian: Näkk) is a water spirit that resides in murky pools, wells, docks, piers and under bridges that cross rivers.

Origin
Näkki is also called Vetehinen or Vesihiisi (water fey, see Hiisi. It is closely related to the Nix in Scandinavian folklore or Russian Vodyanoi.

Description
Näkki is said to be very beautiful from the front, whereas his backside is hairy and extremely ugly. Other stories tell that a Näkki is an ugly "fishman" which can at will turn itself into a beautiful woman who either is extremely voluptuous or has three breasts or alternatively into a silvery fish, horse or a hound.

Behavior
Näkki is principally known for pulling young children into the depths, if they lean over bridge railings, docks or otherwise look into water surfaces to see their own reflection and touch the water. Näkki is a fine example of a spirit enlisted by parents to guide children away from unsafe practices.



Look out "under-the-bridge-trolls". Näkki will eat your chirldren and kick your ass!

Does Cthulu count?

Only if you can both say and SPELL his name correctly. Cthulhu.

I'm going to say - Loki. The ultimate trickster, half-giant, half-god. Bound by nothing, enemy of nobody, ally of the chaos.

Yes, he's that awesome.

There are many different spellings of Kthulu, as it's meant to be from an alien language.

I'm going with the Hounds of Tindalos.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hounds_of_tindalos

They have no known appearance... but they hunt you in your nightmares. And Metallica did a song about them. Kickass.

 

[Scorch_Phoenix]

Anubis, Cerberus and Minotaur.

 

[GrinningManiac]

Anything those crazy Slavic people come up with.

All the fun of superstition, all the fun of senseless violence and paranoia, none of the damn rhymes from English folklore

 

[Lonely Swordsman]

As far as mythical beasts go, it doesn't get as classy and badass at once than a dragon.
