general media Best fantasy creature

[Lankman 86]

Well which fantasy creature do you like the most (and please don't say ponies).

 

If I had to pick one I would go for dragons, they are amazing creatures.

 

which is your favourite fantasy creature, thing etc...

[Jammo 986]

The Platypus. Probably my favourite mixed-creature in all of mythology.

[Megas 27,919]

Dragons, dragons are always awesome

[Golem 65]

Werewolves... I've always loved werewolves for some reason.

Also quite fond of chimeras.

[Frosty Nerd 833]

Dragons fo sho! Spike, you are my favorite mythological creature!

[CT-1138 3,184]

Always been fond of werewolves and the Basilisk (snake form).

[Argumedies 1,748]

I'm a big time Werewolf lover... Anything that has to do with wolves and werewolves.. I even used to work at a local haunted attraction as a werewolf  

 

 

I also have an extreme fascination with the moon in general as well  ... and that's probably one of the biggest reasons I love Luna so much... 

[The Crimson Cross 7,532]

Favourite fantasy Creature? Probably ponies. I'm kidding, I'm kidding! Maybe a pegasus, Oh I'm just kidding! 

 

At any rate I do like the idea of the Chimera... Wait a second.... Now that I think of it... Wasn't there one in MLP?! What episode was it?

And of course, who could forget the Elves and dragons.

MLP has a tendency to put in various fantasy creatures. They even used Changelings! 

Vampires are all the rage these days but Twilight Sparkle ruined everything, and I'm not talking about the pony...

I would say Cthulu, Hydra, or Sisyphus 

[Discordian 6,015]

This might sound boring to some but I love the Unicorn. A creature of beauty known for it's healing powers and pureness.

 

You can blame The Last Unicorn for that. That movie really affected me when I was ten years old.

After seeing the Weebl clip "Unicorn" it changed my mind a bit..

[Discordian 6,015]

After seeing the Weebl clip "Unicorn" it changed my mind a bit..

Dunno why it would. It was exactly that in the clip except the Leprechaun imagining what he'd have done to the Unicorn if he could catch it.

[The Crimson Cross 7,532]

Dunno why it would.

 

I guess I kind of failed to explain. It was more due to the fact that whenever I heard the word "unicorn" that song would start replaying in my head. Over, and over and over again... 

All aside though, Unicorns are majestic creatures. 

[AngelofDeath 259]

Werewolves and dragons of course. I've always loved both for as long as I can remember.

It's a wonderful song but I still don't know how that would change the way you see a Unicorn.

[GONEFOREVER 518]

The hippogriff. Look at the magesticness 

 

[Celtore 2,770]

I like phoenixes, they're usually depicted as highly intellectual and dignified creatures. They're particularly known for their life cycle where after they die, they're reborn from the remains of the corpse.

 

But yes, I'm more of a fan of the depictions where the phoenix has brilliant, fiery plumage as opposed to being a glorified peacock...

[Nulln 755]

I've always been a fan of harpies.  

[Guest]

As a kid I loved the Hydra because of how Disney interpreted it. I also love the Phoenix, unicorns and Pegasus. Dragons too but I think my overall favourite might be unicorns

[NavelColt 22,883]

Cockatrice. More modern, consistent in appearance version of the Basilisk, and a great mythological example of 'size matters not'. It's the size of a rooster, yet the biggest fucking dragon in the universe is still boned (or should I say stoned) if it makes eye contact.

[Untitled Goose Q 5,138]

Dragons and Phoenixes. Because.

[Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,303]

Cyclops (Cyclopses?) and Medusa are a couple of my faves.  Harpies and Chimera are neat...  OH!  Scylla and Charybdis!  All my picks...  Are from Greek mythology lol. xD

[StormBolt24 117]

Hmm... Possibly dragons is my answer... Since nothing else come my mind.

 

Oh no wait, yes there is: Phoenixes.

No likes for selkies and dark creature smex? Boring.

[Sir Hugsalot 9,355]

Griffons and phoenixes. 

 

Why griffons? They are honestly one of most majestic creatures I've ever seen. I mean, just look on those pictures:

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am always happy to see them in any fantasy game I play and I especially love how they look like and what they stand for in Heroes V and Heroes VI. They always reminded me of traits like strength, courage, swiftness and will to fight. Their look that is simply combination of lion's body and eagle's head says a lot about what are they like anyway. I was really sad when I saw what was Gilda like in MLP as she was exact opposite of what griffons are like. She was a parody of those creatures, really. 

 

 

And why phoenixes? Mostly because of what those birds look like. I actually have nothing to say here, I just love their looks ^^ Oh, and phoenix from MLP is actually awesome ^^
