Favorite Mythological Creature

What if you just cut off its torso?
I don't think torsos grow back.

If you cut off the torso, you're basically cutting off the heads. Thus defeating the purpose of trying to cut out the torso.

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

Cerberus or the Griffin.

 

[Jedamethis]

Anubis, Cerberus and Minotaur.

I think you mean Anubites, Anubis is the God over there.
<---

and I pick Anubites, Sphinxes, and Hydras.
Because they're fun

The Hydra. You can only kill her by cutting off her gigantic head, and whenever you cut off a head 2 more grow back. Seriously, you're fucked if you ever come across a Hydra.

Isn't her skin impenetrable, her only weakness being her head being cut off?

 

[fudgebo]

Geralt the witcher

No no, convince the hydra that it was it's torso that was cut off, not its head, and maybe it will give up.

I dunno, I was just joking.
I wonder if the old hag is vunerableto radiation poisoning?

The Paradoxator a creature that only exists when you don't believe it exists and does not exist when the believe it exists.

Impenetrable skin. I'm pretty sure that means radiation too.

 

[Agayek]

The titans from brutal legend. They created metal. They just win.

This. A thousand times this.

Hmm, confusing. I doubt you can convince an angry hydra to give up, it will fight for its life.

Spoiler: Nah, they're not that awesome

As for my favourite? Well, it's kinda hard to pick just one, being the mythology geek I am. I'd probably have to go with Baba Yaga, though. Ever heard of a witch who flies around on a giant mortar and lives in a house with chicken legs? Didn't think so.

 

[Imperatis]

I'm calling Pictsies

 

[Goodluf]

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!

Well, well, I was going through the thread to see if anybody had the thing I had in mind and behold, here it is. The Midgård or World Snake, as it is called in Norse mythology, is quite an interesting being. I originally was thinking about Ouroboros, whitch is a symbol of a snake eating its own tail and symbolizing various things, but this is more specific.

Also, Thor does kill the snake during Ragnarok, but he dies himself because of poison...Ok, I think I should stop here before I ran out of info on this matter. I know only some details.

 

[A random person]

Dragons, because they're awesome and I find reptiles strangely endearing.

 

[IrrelevantTangent]

I'd have to go with the phoenix, and the the shinigami.

The phoenix because it's pretty, it flies, and it's virtually immortal to boot. Did I mention it's pretty?

The shinigami because they're pretty interesting and cool for the Asian counterpart to the Grim Reaper. And they're immortal, except when they're not.

Vampires of course!
