Favorite Mythical Creatures/Beings

In no particular order:

 

Dragons, doy.

 

Dryads/Hamadryads.

Interestingly, the thing we usually refer to as a "dryad" (the spirit of an individual plant) is actually a hamadryad. A dryad is actually the guardian spirit of an entire forest, just like naiads defend rivers, and nereids defend lakes/inland seas.

 

Wraiths.

As in, their original depiction: a being that resembles what you will look like when you die, that tries to warn you, but because it cannot speak it often causes the death it tried to warn of (I almost want to see a good romance story with one of THOSE).

 

Tsukumogami

Object spirits. Hell yeah.

 

Ifrit.

Spirits of fire and bad luck.

Phoenixes are amazing. 'Nuff said.

Reasoning should be obvious. Also I prefer Eastern-styled dragons over others.

Griffins are awesome.

There's just something cool and badass about nine-tailed kitsune.

A lot of people don't know that particular factoid, and I happen to be of the opinion that the more one knows about anything, the better.

 

EDIT:

WHAT WHAT WHAT

GO BACK.

CowCow . . . what?

Drakes are wingless dragons (like the Greek dragons).

They tend to be mildly tougher than the classic fantasy dragon (lacking in weak points given to the overpowering monstrosity that is the Western Dragon in general), but if it came down to a little extra armor versus the power of flight, I'm taking wings any day.

Also if you think power level registers at all in my opinions on things you got another thing coming ;)

One of my favorite Fabled monsters is a unicorn:

Reapers/Shinigami are a big yes for me.

 

Yuki-onna are, in my opinion, some of the best monster girls in existence.

 

Chimeras are also pretty kickass.

 

And I have a bit of a soft spot for dryads. Dunno why, tbh.

Yeah, having these two together is ironic I understand
