I don't have a personal favourite, but I like Penanggalans: severed flying heads that have their internal organs dragging behind them while they drink blood.
Awesome.
Dragons win no question here, especially if you could ride them. Now that would be soooooo cool and fun! Dragon taming... it probably involves getting burnt a lot.
But actually, I like a few of them. Firstly, from Norse Mythology, Fenrir!
I love how everyone mentions Jormungandr and the fact that he kills Thor during Ragnarok. Fenrir kills Odin, the father of Thor and King of the Gods! And Fenrir isn't a giant world serpent. Plus, wolves = awesome.
And secondly, I must mention the Golem. It's like the Frankenstien monster Advanced! It can only be controlled by it's creator, and is otherwise invulnerable.
I mean this Golem,
Not this Golem
I also like the Jack-in-Irons. A giant covered in chains and the skulls of his victims, he stalks misty roads for fresh prey.
And finally, the Qilin. A Japanese flaming unicorn-dragon that can fly. It is pretty sweet.
Ah, kudos to irishdelinquent for beating me to Fenrir. But I have to say, Typhon father of all greek monsters.
By the way angels are nothing more than messengers and are rather insignificant they are just the only ones to actually talk to people and so are the only ones anyone ever remembers seraphims are much awesomer, three times as many wings and are constantly on fire from their love of God.
Definitely the Dragon, and not only the fire breathing kind. ALL Dragons. Anything resembling a Dragon.
And the Basilisk, but not the one that's interpreted as a giant chicken, the lizard type.
Free-willed, non-mindless Undead(doesn't have to be a vampire).
Ents, Treants, golems, elemental creatures that are sentient.
Probably all in that order...more or less.
You are correct sir, it was a poem from "Through the looking glass" not actually in Alice in Wonderland. I love this poem, it's so creepy. It's difficult to understand though.
On the one hand, Pan is a wild half-goat half-man God of Springtime with sexual powers to rival those of James Bond.
On the other hand, Dionysus is wild in another sense. He eats, drinks, farts, and screws all day and is still considered a God and not a frat boy or a wasteland dweller.
This is the only mythological creature that I have been able to get a lesson about. You lop off its head, and two take its place. Thats right, ancient greeks had morals to their stories.
