the clear answer is sun wokung. the monkey king.
his staff is 8.1 ton and he lifts is with ease.he stole the staff from the guardian of the sea. and defeated the four dragons with it. he can move 54000 kilometers with ONE somersault. he can turn into 72 different objects and animals. he went to heavens and basically kicked the gods asses until budha imprisoned him for 500 years. later on he achieved the title of buddhahood
That's just stuff pulled from /mlp/, 4chan has /d/ and other forums that do the same thing to pretty much all other types of creatures, especially dragons, those poor poor dragons. I've seen some things man, I can never look at dragons the same way again. If we include furries, then we can pretty much throw every creature mentioned in this thread into the weird porn pile that out of the way internet sites have an unhealthy obsession with molesting in extreme ways. Those poor mythological creatures would need all kinds of therapy if they existed in the real world.RJ 17 said:Nah, I've just actually seen the pony thread simulator videos and as such have a frame of reference about how 4Chan treats the subject matter.Worgen said:
As for judging things based on strange porn, from the beginning this was all being said in jest.
OT: Eh, I suppose something humanoid would be nice, I'm kind of attached to having hands, maybe something like the old-school fey from mythology with awesome shape-shifting powers, or something like a centaur or satyr from old Greek mythology, basically something that can still use human sized tools, I'm not giving up being able to actually live in human society just to look cool.
Not familiar with that interpretation. To me, eastern dragons were always associated with power, prosperity and good fortune (no coincidence the dragon was the symbol of the imperial family)rhizhim said:no one will ever invite you to anything since the appearance of chinese dragon herald the beginning of the apocalypse.hermes200 said:I am going to go with the current, but with a twist. Dragons, but not the western kind, but the eastern one:
In any case, it would not be important, since I would use my human form most of the times and only reveal my true form if the circumstances require it.
Hmm, besides the obvious choice of a Dragon, turning into a smoke monster would be handy.
You could get anywhere that isn't airtight, and you could heal yourself by turning the affected area into smoke and back.

I tried to think of something else just to play the devil's advocate because so many people had already chosen dragon. But really, dragons just beat everything else, werewolves? pshh, vampires? naaa, fairies? pfft. Dragons just combine all the scary things together in one, positively sexy-looking package. Dinosaur? Check. Batwings? Check. Big? Check. Magical Capability? Uh oh. Highly Intelligent? Yep.
You know, that's something that's sadly missing from a lot of modern fantasy. Where are the unicorns that gore people? I remember a Unicorn from C.S. Lewis's "The Last Battle" being a super badass warhorse that would gore like 10 people each charge, that's how unicorns should be done! (Not that the happy MLP-style unicorns are bad, they're awesome. But we need some of the stabby-stab cunning warhorses as well!)kailus13 said:An old-school unicorn. Not the new saccharine type but the ones that gore everything that isn't a pure maiden. The only thing I'd have to worry about would be lions.

Can I be an Alien? It's a modern creature of myth, after all.
(Mostly, there's likely life out there somewhere, but they're certainly not abducting our cows for the luls)
There is plenty of choice, too. You have your basic little grey men, you have the Men in Black (that are decidedly not Men) and all sorts of other creatures. All of which get lovely space guns.
Something like this, perhaps.

I suggest you accept our terms and surrender, Inside-Out. We will be relatively kind."
If that doesn't fly, I'll settle for a Satyr. Doesn't seem too bad. Roaming the great outdoors, being a perfect nuisance. Blaring my flute at random shepherds. T'is a simple life. I suppose it depends on the setting if I'm evil or not, but both seems like equal fun!

I'd say
But, could I have it in black 'cos come on, you're meant to be sticking to shadows and hunting prey, what better than jet black?
Sure, a dragon would be cool an all but it's a little unwieldy and you stick out like a sore thumb! You would have governments and hunters after you. With my choice I would just be the ramblings of goth kids and the kind of people who say "me and brother, Jim Bob, got abducted by aliens" or hippies.

My first thought was a Gryphon too, my second thought a Leogryph (basically a winged lion) because they are a bit cuddlier...Drummodino said:Earlier today I started playing Dragon's Dogma for the first time. At the end of the first mission you have to fight a Chimera. This got me wondering; if I had the choice, what mythological or fantasy creature would I be?
Yep a griffin. Just look at that majestic being. I could soar through the sky and nobody could touch me. I'd totally destroy any dragon that tried to attack me
So Escapists, what would you choose?

But eventually I had to settle on being a Kitsune... awesome, cool, cuddly, great variety of abilities if they live long enough... heck if I was a kitsune and I lived long enough I'd be able to change in to a gryphon or a leogryph... although I would still always have a fox-tail, which would be kind of weird...
My first choice was a dragon, but then I got to thinking of something less obvious.
I'm generally always hungry, and have a knack for using brute force over brains. At the same time, I love setting plans in motion that will only see fruit after a particular triggering event.
So I guess I'd have to choose a Demon from the Eli Monpress novels. They can shapeshift, cause everything within an area around them to panic, and have immense strength. They're also unkillable by anything in the known universe including each other, and can spread their power through Demonseeds.
Sadly no pic

I...you....Eclipse Dragon said:I see a trend emerging in this thread... and I'm going to do absolutely nothing to change that!
Dragon it is (as if there were any doubt).
You ninja'd my first choice!
Guess I'll have to settle for this:
Turned into a goblin, I miss when I was my good old mighty mage gnome. It was so fun to pawn everyone on battlegrounds and on war areas with my white hair/beard and blue eyes looking cute, short and horrifying!
That gnome laugh when I was mocking dead people was just epic...
FEAR THE GNOMES!

I would become the magical sniper fairy that shoots hollow-point rounds in the skulls of kids who don't eat their greens.
Freeman's mind reference! woo!

Being a dragon would be cool, especially if I could be a night fury. Who could turn down that kind of flight speed?
