I had to go with werewolves. I really don't have much of a reason, they're just plain cool in my book. Vampires, in my opinion, are very overrated. Dragons were a close second though, they're pretty killer in their own right.

Dragons!!! Cause they're so darn strong and they look just look awesome.

Dragons are definitely my favorite mythical creatures because they just look so cool and very intimidating!

my fav would be dragons for some reson i love dragons and always will just there looks and there shapes and stuff i like and that thay can fly and breath fire so yeah dragons are my fav my next one is a wearwolf wich is cool there fears and strong and fast at the same time so yeah thats my other one

i picked dragons, ive always been interested in dragons since i was able to remember things. ive always wanted a dragon as a pet, and when i was little i thought dragon flys were dragon food. haha

I'm gonna have to say mine is a three way tie between harpies, gorgons, and necromancers.

Harpies: because they are pretty and lure men and women to their deaths with their unsuspecting charms. They can fly, and they can blend in to the environment very well.

Gorgons: They can turn people to stone by looking them in the eyes, need I say more?

Necromancers: They can re-animate the dead and make them do their bidding. That's just awesome.

I think Dragons are pretty great

I'm going with Zombies because I grew up watching horror films and zombies just stick out to me. I also grew up playing the Resident Evil series so yeah... the zombies got hold of my braaaain early on. Dragons was a close second though.

Sleipnir is a horse of Norse mythology who was believed to belong to Odin, the god of war, poetry, knowledge, and wisdom. Slepnier, however, was no ordinary horse. Having 8 legs, his speed far exceeded that of any other horse. He was also said to be exceptionally smooth, which is where he got his name, the meaning of which is "smooth" or "gliding".

The story behind this unusual horse is quite unusual itself. It all started when Thor, the god of thunder and war, left Asgard to slay giants. While he was away, a frost giant named Hrimthurs came to Asgard disguised as a human stonemason and offered to rebuild the wall around Asgard which had recently fallen. All he asked for in return was the sun, the moon, and Freyja, the beautiful fertility goddess.

The Gods agreed to this arrangement, provided that Hrimthurs could finish in six months, something the Gods believed was impossible. The trickster god Loki, without consulting the other gods, gave Himthrus one tool to use-- a gray stallion named Svadilfari, which means either "slave" or "ill fated."

With the aid of Svadilfari, Himthrus worked very quickly, and it wasn't long before the Gods realized that he might actually finish in time. When they realized this, they became very afraid, and very furious with Loki. To fix the situation, just as Himthrus was about to replace the last brick of the wall, Loki turned into a beautiful white mare and beckoned Svadilfari to follow her. Himthrus was very angry about this and he began tearing down the wall, however, he was prevented by the return of Thor. When Thor saw Himthrus tearing down the wall, he pulled out his famous Hammer, Mjolnir, and hit the giant over the head.

Later, Loki, still in the shape of the mare, gave birth to an 8-legged foal, Sleipnir. He then offered Sleipnir as a gift to Odin. It is believed that Sleipnir was not only the fastest horse, but that he could be ridden over the sea and through the air by Odin.

Later, Odin's son Hemrod rode Sleipnir into the underworld on a mission to retrieve his dead brother Balder. Hemrod and Balder's other brother Hodur, who was blind, had been tricked by Loki into killing Balder. Hemrod rode for 9 days and 9 nights until he came to gates of the underworld, ruled by the goddess Hel (the root of the English word Hell). Sleipnir was able jump and clear the gates without a problem. Hemrod continued to ride through the underworld until he finally found Balder. However, Hel, said that she would realease Balder from the underworld on only one condition. Everyone and everything must weep for him. Loki, disguised as a giantess, refused to weep and Balder was condemned to the underworld forever.

Now that we know Sleipnir's story I would like to talk a little bit about him as a symbol. It is believed that Sleipnir's eight legs are symbolic of the four men who carry a coffin. I am afraid I have to disagree with this. While Sleipnir did carrry his rider into the underworld, he did not do so at the time of his death, and don't think that Sleipnir could in anyway be blamed for Balder's death.

Another suggestion about the reasoning behind the 8 legs is that on rare occasion a horse my be born with three toes, a genetic manifestation known as polydactyly. When this happens, two extra toes will appear on the legs of the horse. This usually does not negatively affect the horses motion. It is very rare, but has been seen both in modern and ancient times. Juilius Ceasar rode such a horse, and they became considered a token of good fortune. It is possible that this particular horse is at least partially responsible for inspiring the myth of Sleipnir.

I personally believe this is very likely. To encounter such a rare horse, would more than likely cause people to start telling stories, and we all know that the longer a story circulates, the more outlandish is becomes. The myth of slepnier is a very old myth that has had plenty of years to grow into what it is today.

I choose other, my favorite mythical creature is pegasus

I read a lot of Greek mythology as a kid. So I chose other because I can't remember any of them.

My all-time favorite is Cthulhu, the monster H.P. Lovecraft made up in the 1920's. It's just so boss, an octopus-dragon-bat-monster thing is just so ingenious, and the sotries it appears in are good. The Jersey Devil is very cool also, but from this list, I pick zombies. They're just so amazing, and I like drawing them

Orion was the son of Neptune. He was a handsome giant and a mighty hunter. His father gave him the power of wading through the depths of the sea, or as others say, of walking on its
surface.

After this he dwelt as a hunter with Diana, with whom he was a favorite, and it is even said she was about to marry him. Her brother was highly displeased and often chid her, but to no purpose. One day, observing Orion wading though the sea with his head just above the water, Apollo pointed it out to his sister and maintained that she could not hit that black thing on the sea. The archer-goddess discharged a shaft with fatal aim. The waves rolled the dead body of Orion to the land, and bewailing her fatal error with many tears, Diana placed him among the stars, where he appears as a giant, with a girdle, sword, lion's skin, and club. Sirius, his dog, follows him, and the Pleiads fly before him.

Mr. Longfellow has a poem on the "Occultation of Orion." The following lines are those in which he alludes to the mythic story. We must premise that on the celestial globe Orion is
represented as robed in a lion's skin and wielding a club. At the moment the stars of the constellation one by one were quenched in the light of the moon, the poet tells us,

"Down fell the red skin of the lion
Into the river at his feet.
His mighty club no longer beat
The forehead of the bull; but he
Reeled as of yore beside the sea,
When blinded by Oenopion
He sought the blacksmith at his forge,
And climbing up the narrow gorge,
Fixed his blank eyes upon the sun."

Tennyson has a different theory of the Pleiads:

"Many a night I saw the Pleiads, rising through the mellow shade,
Glitter like a swarm of fire-flies tangled in a silver braid."
Locksley Hall

Byron alludes to the lost Pleiad:

"Like the lost Pleiad seen no more below."

Crono has chosen other, and that other is none other than the "Lycan". No, Lycans are NOT werewolves, because they have full control of their transformation and become a wolf at will. Not only that, but they have much more mutations of wolves.

Ligers are pretty much my favorite. They make excellent familiars since they're bred for their skills in magic. Not to get them confused with "real-life ligers"; saying they're the same thing as Ligers is like saying a mouse is the same thing as a Pikachu.

Nessie is probably my second favorite. She even has a pokemon designed after her, so that's pretty cool. Do you see a pokemon modelled after a vampire? I don't think so; however, I haven't played past Gold/Silver versions, so I could be very wrong there.

Another I remember from Greek mythology is the Nemean Lion a preternatural beast with an impenetrable pelt, nevertheless vanquished and carried to Mycenae by Heracles as one of his Labors. These Labors were assigned Heracles by his cousin Eurystheus, who hid in a storage jar when he saw the great hero coming with the lion on his shoulder.

One of the offspring of Echidna & Typhon who had other offspring like the Chimera,Hydra,and the Sphinx.

I've always gone with the dragon but the vampire and werewolves are cool to. I just see them too much.
