My favorite is the gryphon, but dragons are very close. :D

I would say from that list I like dragons the most.

Is there a difference between Gryphon and Griffin? The only place I've ever seen "Gryphon" Is "Alice in wonderland" Most other places it's "Griffin" or "Griffon"

I voted for the pegasus. That probably comes from my love of horses. :D

I was trying to decide between the Kraken and the Gryphon, and chose the Kraken. All of the creatures in the list are not as developed in Iniel as one-eyed Giants, other sorts of Giants, limited Shapeshifters, Headless Men, Mermen, and others.

Technically, the Leviathan is not a fantasy creature. But then, perhaps that is why I love it best. A creature with such fantastic and unfathomable power and strength that is completely realistic! It somewhat reminds me of so many aspects of God... No wonder it's my favorite.

I don't believe there's an actual difference. For myself, I prefer the spelling of gryphon, so that's what I use.

I voted for gryphons, although I also like dragons and unicorns. (Funny...those are the three that exist on my primary world... :P ) And Ines, I want to know what your favorite one is, too.

Hmmmm. I just realized my 'favorite' would probably fall under the category of 'being' rather then beast. Oh well, never mind.

You can't just not tell us, Ines, after making us curious! :roll:

I voted Leviathan, but gryphons come very close.

@Joe - I don't think there's any difference except for in spelling. But I could be wrong...

You all know his creature is typically considered evil, right?

No, but since it's Ines we're talking here, that news comes at no surprise. XD Nothing Ines says surprises me anymore. :roll:

Gryphon is supposed to be the creature and Griffin is a surname based off of it... they've become interchangeable now. Excuse me while I have a chat with C.S. Lewis about the usefulness of the English language... :roll:

Hmmm Kait, I'm not sure you're thinking of what I'm thinking of. But then again, since my favorite mythical creature changes.. almost constantly... yeah...


Tell me tell me! Or better yet: Create a riddle and let me solve it! It's a win win. You still get to "not reveal your secret creature" and I know what it is!

Honestly I'm surprised I was able to work this much into so much suspense. My favorite mythical creature, is the Naga. Does anyone know what that is?


:rofl: *wonders why I find "perish the thought" so funny*

Nope...no idea what a Naga is.... I'm ignorant, though. ;)

I've heard of Naga before, but pretty much the only reason I remember it is that creatures called Naga show up in a game I play. :P

Pretty much an Indian Snake shifter, it can take the form of a great dragon/snake, a man or half between them. How much cooler then that can you get? :dieshappy:

Well, anyhoo, I definitely voted for dragons, although I have a preference for the more exotic, delicate creatures. Fairies and the like. But all these creatures are fascinating!

Dragons are not strictly Fantasy creatures, in the sense that there are real dragons, and they are Fantasy creatures, in the sense that there are made up dragons, and made up kinds of dragons.

Yes, you could argue that. But Leviathans are 100% legit and real because the Bible says so. You don't even have to argue there!

That is true, I believe that probably dragons were certain types of dinosours a couple thousand years back! :dieshappy:

Dragons are fantasy creatures in that they are used in fantasy, and almost exclusively in fantasy. Just because they have basis in reality doesn't make them any less fantastical. :D

Yes, actually. Well, of the Diegose, not of the Borrodag. Here is the link:

I probably need to update this, but it will give you a good idea of the general gist.
