It's an answer and an sly dig at religion...I love itmrhappyface said:
OT I would be a werewolf, without a shadow of a doubt.
I say vampire, but not an emo twilight one. Nor would I want to be a blood sucking killer. I would really love to be a Cirqu du Freak vampire. Out of all of the portrayals of vampires I have seen, that has to be my favorite.
400 year old dwarf, who was brought up into a blood feud between his clan (Ironrend) and some drakes in a lost valley seperated from the rest of his known world, who ventured out into the rest of socioty taking his morals with him leading to a path of blood thirsty assassinations literally to watch the reactions and almost study their behaviour. There's a bit of backstory, the Ironrends would be an incredibly blood thirsty clan, and the dwarfs only friend, would be a common human street thug, who thought he lead the friendship but was actually only taking effect of Elrok (the dwarves) lonely attitude. Not immortal, just long living (to around a thousand), not god like strength, just devoted to his cause, never sometimes a comedian like I portrayed him in World of Warcraft, if you knew a Elrok , dwarvern hunter, in World of Warcraft - Think of his Toy Box.
As for beast like creatures only, a Gryphon, rarely seen, and magnificent to behold yet with a very sharp bite.

A vampire.
I really like the idea of a stereotypical vampire. Very difficult to kill, generally owns a castle somehow, and since they feast on human blood, I wouldn't need to spend money on food.
Not going out in the day... well, if I really had to go out I could take a parasol or something, but I don't go outside much anyway.

Dragon seems the obvious choice (fly, breathe various substances, often shapeshift, sometimes use magic, have loads of cash etc) however I do like the idea of the K'Chain Che'Malle from Steven Erikson's (and Ian Esselmont) Malazan Book of the Fallen. Krell Hunters are giant undead lizards with massive swords for arms.
Pixie or a sthein (think mermaid, except has an 8ft long snake tail for a lower half).
Either one would be fun.

*must not say dragon, must not say dragon, must not say dragon* A... drag-ben? Oh hell, screw it, dragon! Rawr! stomp crush rawr! hahaha little peons!
Sorry mate, but it's the truth as far as I see it, going all the way back to Baldur's Gate. Back then, the AI was idiotic and death was too punitive. Fast forward a decade later to Dragon Age, and the AI is still idiotic (Alistair is apparently convinced that there is a shortage of healing poultices in the realm, and will gleefully ignore his tactics AND the fact that he's at 2% health rather than use them, e.g.), and the game balance/difficulty curve is all over the map (if you have to lower the difficulty setting to beat a boss after steamrolling through his underlings on the higher setting, something's broke).Klepa said:
NB: Despite the inclusion of some RPG elements, I don't consider games like Mass Effect to be RPGs, and as such, don't include them under my blanket of "suck" although they do need to either come with a better good/evil system, or just stop frigging using it.

I'm more in it for the wings, fire, (possible) magic and all round awesome
Edit: On reflection, I'll go for the vampire. I prefer being human and being able to enjoy human pleasure
Olden days vampire only get annoyed by sunlight, and are mine to holy water and crosses. On the other hand, they don't fly, but they're still awesomeAzraellod said:
