List of mythical creatures


Angels - Winged messengers from heaven, usually in human form. Represent loving, guiding forces who assist God. Angels are often depicted as healing, resucing, comforting, or otherwise helping human beings who are in need.

Brownies - invisible elves who live with families in houses and assist those who live there. Sometimes a child might catch a glimpse of them but they do not appear to adults. They are considered to be very helpful and a benefit to have around.

Centaurs - Creatures who are half-man and half-horse who appear in many mythological stories.

Cherubim - A spirit of heaven, usually childlike and human but sometimes depicted as a winged animal. They are benevolent beings who assist humans in many ways, including finding love.

Doppleganger - A duplicate of a person or creature. Sometimes, a Doppleganger can appear as flesh and blood, other times it can be an astral projection or a ghost.

Dragons - A mythical creature with great variant in its description. May be evil or good. Some are seen as protector-guardians, either of people or places. Others are fierce and cruel and one must slay them. They typically breathe fire and many have wings.

Dryads - Feminine spirits of nature that reside in the forest. Different ones protect and nurture various species of plant life and/or trees. Often, it is said, they seek revenge upon those who have damaged the forest.

Elementals - Forces of Nature; Spirits of Nature

EARTH: Keepers of the Earth, they resemble stones and rocks in the texture of their skin. Although they may appear to be somewhat human in appearance as well, they move very slowly and smash their targets into bits. Earth Elementals have the power to direct earthquakes into various places.

AIR: Keepers of the Sky, they can sometimes appear as cloud-like beings, swift and semi-transparent. They can direct the paths of wind storms and tornadoes in order to destroy targets.

FIRE: Keepers of the Flame. They can direct fire to shoot and spread anywhere with one flick of their fiery wrists. They sometimes appear within flickering flames, from where they watch the escapades of human beings.

WATER: Keepers of the Sea. They direct waves, hurricanes and whirlpools, causing the energy of water to abide by their will. They can often be seen within a rocking sea, frolicking among the foamy waves.

Gargoyles - Winged creatures that sit atop tall buidings and keep watch. Their purpose is to ward off evil spirits. They can sit so still, they appear to be made of stone but at any moment they can dive down upon their prey below.

Giants - Huge, often violent human-like creatures that cause fear in the people who encounter them. In ancient Greece, giants were defeated in battle and were imprisoned under the earth. It is said whenever a volcano erupts, it is a giant trying to get out.

Gnomes - Very small human-like folks who stand just one or two feet tall. They like to live in gardens and are protectors of nature. Most of them are friendly enough to humans, but some of them can be tricky as well.

Griffon - A creature with the head and wings of an eagle, the body of a lion or tiger, front feet with talons and the tail of a scorpion. Can be a great asset to humans if fighting on their side because they are very fierce. Huge creatures, they can easily carry a human being through the air. 

Leprechaun - Merry little human-like creatures who live close to humans but do not like to be seen by them very often. They can be very helpful, like Brownies, and will exchange good luck and other treasures for goods they can use. 

Merfolk - People with fish tails who live in the water. Mermaids are sometimes reportedly seen sitting on rocks in the sea and singing to the sailors. When in trouble, Merfolk can call all the creatures of the sea to come to their aid.

Ogres - Human-like folks who stand twice as tall as humans and are built very strong and heavy. They are not very smart, but they are not cruel or evil, although they do enjoy a good fight.

Pegasus - A winged horse, usually white, that can fly. Highly intelligent, they can assist humans in many adventures by carrying them across land and sea.

Pheonix - A bird who sings a beautiful song and carries human prayers on its wings to heaven. When the Pheonix dies, it dies in fire and from this fire, a new Pheonix rises from the ashes.

Pixie - Tiny folk who live among the countryside. They are hard workers and can help crops and flowers to grow, but they also like to play tricks on humans. They have been known to even come inside houses in order to hide things so they cannot be found, or to make a mess.

Sphinx - A winged creature with a lion's body and a human head, usually a female head. They can be very dangerous and will sometimes kill those who cannot answer their riddles.

Unicorn - A horse-like creature with a horn growing out of its forehead. Healing powders are held within this horn which can prevent poison from harming people. Unicorns are very magical and powerful, and keep themselves hidden from humans so that their powers are not misused.
