Wolfox Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 the title should explain what this is about really, what's your favorite mythical creature and why is it your favorite? Mine is the Phoenix, I always loved big birds on posters and in movies growing up, heck the eagle is one of my favorite animals in general, and that has something to do with it. I also love the aspect of the Phoenix being reborn from the ashes when it dies. and as last reason, they look fucking AWSOME: Lie to my face right now and tell me that doesn't look awsome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Developers Samtale Posted November 30, 2017 Developers Share Posted November 30, 2017 I like selkies I find the concept of sheding skin to become a human to be interesting but it is sad that in some of the stories men would take their skin to make sure they stayed with them even though it's harmful for them to be out of their skin for to long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combat Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 A few years ago, I'd have probably said dragon, but seeing how overused they've become in pop culture, I'd probably say Griffon. Why? Because it's a bird and a lion combined together that's big enough to ride! What's not to love! Birds of prey are probably one of my favorite species of animal, so griffons win for coolness points alone. Phionex would be a close second though, followed by Bigfoot, because Bigfoot.

Jess Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Pegasus. Because it derives from Greek mythology and horses are anyways the most majestic and noble creatures ever existed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seal Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 A Cockatrice has always been my favorite. It looks cool and intimidating but it also looks really dumb. The fact that these things actually scared people in medieval times is hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veterans Azeria Posted November 30, 2017 Veterans Share Posted November 30, 2017 Dragons. They represent so much in mythology and various cultures in the world, coming in so many forms, shapes and how they were viewed. In the east, they were revered as deities, in the west, they were thought of as demons and monsters. Honestly they're the epitome of cool in my eyes, regardless of if people see them as overrated, they're primary reason why dragon is my second favourite type.

dotahkin01 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Manticore, human head, part lion, part scorpion. Basically a middle eastern (persian) version of the sphinx and europe had their own versions, though the sphinx and manticore have different lores. Anyways, cause mythology is often changed to things that become cooler it was given eagle like wings by Dungeon and dragons and Heroes of might and magic (I came acros it with HoMM) (apperantly the sphinx can also apear with wings) Spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoknight Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) Ooooh mythology is fun. I think dragons are pretty badass. I think its cool that they're depicted in so many ways. Some are depicted as gods, and others as magical beasts that can kill anything. I also think vampires are pretty cool. Cuz, you know, immortality and vampire powers. Hard for me to say which I like better. Or you could say Castlevania's Dracula. He's both a vampire and a dragon! @Alistair lol. I get it though. They're like sexy vampires! @Mocama_cama@ProtoAlpha I love Norse mythology! My favorite beast would have to be Niohoggr.

Rainlove Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Without a doubt the Lamassu. Even my character's name in Pokemon Reborn is Lamassu. It is an Iraqi protective deity. It has a human head and a body of a bull. I mean just look at it. It's terrifying. Spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'd say having your soul damned to Hell if someone does manage to put a piece of wood through you kind of beats that. Support your local Templars.

mde2001 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I'm going to have to be super basic and go with dragons. They're just consistently cool when in books/ games/ movies and they have a lot more variety than lots of other creatures. Also moved this to general discussion, as the quality of conversation has been of a high enough quality to justify it being out of the wasteland.

When all else fails, just go with "What We Do In The Shadows" rules. (So stakes and sunlight being the best weapons against a vampire.) Crosses are pretty much used to keep a vampire away from you, but won't be able to kill them, and holy water just hurts them if used properly. Honestly, vampires have so many weaknesses, it would make more sense to become a lich if you're seeking unholy immortality. (Man, this is giving me all sorts of ideas for my "How To Not Get Killed By Magical Creatures" blog.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfox Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 Personally I love the Castlevania Vampire weaknesses best. Holy stuff and decapitation mostly. But you can still be killed regularly. And when you're in the sun you don't just die, you just lose your Vampiric abilities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seki108 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) I'm going to have to go with a basic answers of vampires as well, mostly because of how many slightly (or sometimes bigger) different variations that stories/series/franchises feature (usually in regards to weaknesses and abilities). They can be adapted many ways for interesting takes and work in all different settings. Other reasons have already been covered by other respondents. Dragons might be a close second, but there is much more species/type variation through different cultures, mythologies, and fantasy settings.....it's a little too broad of a category for me to use. It was already hard enough deciding. Edited November 30, 2017 by seki108 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanitas Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 well normally on this kind of question everybody has their own opinion, but honestly anybody who sais sth else then dragons is just plain fuckin wrong!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razkar Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Well, almost dragon but i go for feathered snake of ancient central america tribe, as it symbolizes the union of earth and sky, spirit and body, the resolution of antagonism by the union.
