New mythological creature to get behind?

[Sindre1]

Gargoyles.

I just love that word

 

[Joshimodo]

Minotaurs.

Sure, legend only refers to two of them, but the idea of a beast like that would be an intriguing idea for a civilisation.

i'm gonna go with...Costa Rican (or some other south american place) weretigers. it's a fucking person. that turns. into. an upright walking tiger. homo felinus, i think that would be. or something like that. and if i made the retarded mistake of placing Costa Rica in south america, (i know it's an island) ,then i'm sorry. don't call me out on my laziness of not looking it up.

oh, ONIS! fuck yes! shapeshifting human possessor? thank you very much!

Ok quick primer, ghouls are not mainstream, zombies are the unintelligent limping hordes of the undead, ghouls are smart loners that just happen to be undead, they also shapeshift. Just explaining that as far as I know there is no movie about ghouls, there is one episode of supernatural about them though.

We already have a mythological creature on this site.

The dreaded MaxTheReaper.

number 1, your comment: hell yes.

number 2, your avatar: hell yes.

And no, not murlocs. Most of the population dispises all things wow and most of the worlds governments think its the root of all gaming addictions and evil. points to china* they've even gne as far as torturing kids with EST because of it.

China makes me giggle. It also makes me glad I do not live in China so I can nurse my MMORPG addiction in peace.

Gargoyles.

I just love that word

At first, the suggestion of "gargoyles" made me jump with girlish glee, if only because Disney no longer makes such ridiculously awesome animated TV series, but naw...half the awesomeness of vampires is that they're universal. You could walk down a dark alley anywhere and get attacked by one...no one's really in danger of being attacked by gargoyles unless, yennow...you have a fondness for haunting medieval castles at night.

i'm gonna go with...Costa Rican (or some other south american place) weretigers. it's a fucking person. that turns. into. an upright walking tiger. homo felinus, i think that would be. or something like that. and if i made the retarded mistake of placing Costa Rica in south america, (i know it's an island) ,then i'm sorry. don't call me out on my laziness of not looking it up.

Sweet jeebus, I can see the furry pr0n now.

...I am in a horribly unhelpful and uncreative mood tonight. I shall think of a good mythological creature...

 

[jad4400]

The Hydra!!!!!!! I mean seriosley it gets stronger everytime you cut off one of it's head.

 

[Mad Maniac with axe-firing chainsaw]

Puppies. They turn you to stone with their cuteness. The modern medusa.

(Plus, anyone who has played Earthworm Jim will know that all dogs are secretly monsters.)

 

[Kriptonite]

The Greek Gods and Titans. They are as people apparently say, epic win. Really anything from Ancient Greece rules.

i'm not being creative, that's a mythic creature of south america! no shit, i'm serious. as for furry...my brain's picture maker is very angry.

 

[lwm3398]

Werewolves. Pure awesome.

plus, they are everywhere and nowhere, and they're german. very large cookie WITH ice cream for reference.

 

[Flying-Emu]

My vote goes for the Gelatinous Cube.

 

[Wadders]

No love for the Kraken?

Spoiler

 

[Arachon]

I'll stick with my Vampires, Twilight did not ruin Malkavians.

 

[lwm3398]

The Hydra!!!!!!! I mean seriosley it gets stronger everytime you cut off one of it's head.

i was going to say this, but it's only a singular creature. i thought he meant a whole race of creatures. there's only one hydra, i thought. maybe not, please tell me if i'm wrong.

 

[lwm3398]

Sphinxes. Come on. They're awesome.

[win] but they have no noses [/win]

 

[sokka14]

since people have come out with "druids" and "vikings" i'm going to go for the deeply mythological longbowmen.

EDIT: my real choice is for the watchdog out of the phantom tollbooth, god i used to love that book.

 

[lwm3398]

Pookah!

had to point this out, if you mean the black baboon looking things in spiderwick, it's phookah, not pookah.

Eh, I am being uncreative as in my brain can't seem to come up with anything more interesting than "chupacabra" (sp?), and as I am fond of sheep and do not wish them to be eaten, I'm not gettin' behind it.

Glad to make your brain's picture maker angry. My work here is done.

o whoops I forgot "twilight" ruined werewolves too sorry for forgeting that.

god damn there souls! damn them to hell! i mean, fuck, in hellsing they can take a holy bullet to the face, i'm sure in twilight they can't even be knocked on their ass before they die. oh wait, twilight is for teenage girls. no one can die.
