A gryphon.

Eagles - Patriotic, apex predator of the skies, badass.
Lions- Proud, apex predator of the lands, badass.
Gryphon- Eagle + Lion.
You both know that male Gryphons didn't have wings, right?
I read that in a book on mythical creatures I read once. Unfortunately I can't provide links to paperback books though.

OT: I'd probably go for the Dragon.
You're thinking of keythongs. They aren't gryphons.
I am not thinking of keythongs, since I've never heard of keythongs before. According to this book I read which was entitled "Mythological Creatures." It it under Gryphons, well the book spelled it 'Griffins', but that's irrelevant, it said that the males did not have wings and instead had large spikes jutting out of their sides instead. I can only assume that the author was referring to the most common variation of gryphons common to most legends of them.

Never heard of that legend. Guess that makes it fair seeing as you've never heard of keythongs... But spikes are badass, too.

I was promised a poll. I see no such thing!

OT: Probably a dragon. I mean, seriously? No one messes with a dragon.
Pfft, are you kidding? One of my friends in a ShadowRun game got snatched by a dragon, managed to wrap the claw holding her with several pounds of C4, use a fist full of tranq darts to numb it's foot enough for it to let her go before she detonated them.

She is now, and forever will be known as the Dragon Slayer.

Silly Renraku dragon, botching it's roll, while the DragonSlayer maxed hers...

Pleasedon'ttellheritwasmewhoaccidentallyshotherwhileweweretryingtoshootitdown >__>;


OT:
Probably just a generic shape shifter.
You talking about the Shadowrun RPG?
Pen and Paper, not that FPS travesty (or the NES version)
Yeah. I meant the PnP. Nothing really wrong with the game, it was just lacking in a story. It was balanced well, though.
It was a game where story was in the hands of the GM, the setting was great though.

I've been digging through my place trying to find that book, I know I still have it somewhere, but I've moved a couple times since I've last seen it and it's buried somewhere where I can't find it. But as you said, the spikes are badass too.

Despite the recent influx of vampire movies thanks to Twilight, I've always been a vampire fan. Thus, I think a vampire would be my choice!

The good kind, the kind who have lots of orgies.

[rant]Aaaahhhhh! Vamps DON'T FUCK! What is wrong with you people? Their entire place in the folklore is a caution against just how badly things can go WRONG when you give in to the beautiful stranger.[/rant]

Ok. Ok. I'm calm. With the abundance of vampire literature they have been presented myriad ways, and more than one viewpoint can be tolerated. [sup]barely[/sup]

Oh. I forgot to answer the question. Ghost.

I would be one of the unspeaking ones who never tell you why they're there, they just bump and clank in the night until you run into the answer on your own.

I don't know if this counts or not, but I would be a Draenei. And any of the 3 variants of the Draenei would work fine with me. The Playable Alliance Kind:



The Kind of Corrupted Kind or Broken:



And The Corrupted Kind or Lost:



All 3 are bad ass...


If Draenei's don't count, then I'll take Self Conscious Zombie who doesn't need to eat Human Flesh to Survive.

Have to go with Thor, and I am justified by him not being human, thus a mythological creature. :p
You go with him if you want to. You're old enough to make up your own mind. Just don't expect him to ever call and ffs make SURE he wears a condom. Even HE doesn't know where he's been but you don't really want to be a permanent part of that family tree, do you?
Not sure if you're a troll or genuinely trying to be funny, but you fail either way. I'm fine with humor but your lack of a post that actually replies to the topic at hand leads me to believe you are simply a weak antagonizer with an overinflated idea of how clever you are.

And considering he's a male, and I'm a male, I fail to see how I could become part of his family tree. The only way would be to sleep with and impregnate Lorelei, and I would do her so hard ;)

Anubis would be pretty sick.
Holy shit I didn't think of that!! o_O You are a genius XD

Ahh, I remember playing as Anubis in the old Gauntlet Legends...
The minotaur would be sick as well. I'd prefer him to Anubis;
Damn I miss that game. Someone needs to make a 4 player coop (splitscreen and online) HD gauntlet game.

A dragon or a Lycanthrope as for both there are so many different kinds. Even then anything would be good really to see what is it is like. Do something like be a dragon for a day. A Deadra would be nice too to see what thats like.
