I know you've went general and specific there brah, but wasn't Medusa a Gorgon? One of 3, if I'm not mistaken (which is quite possible)? Good use of the Norse beasties in there too.

Chupacabra-cross a gray with a lizard and you got the main idea
Jackalope-a bunny with deer horns
Leviathan-a giant sea snake/dragon
Wendigo-like the Canadian version of a yeti

The Hecatonchires of Greek myth. I don't know why but I find them interesting if not extremely rarely used.
For those who didn't take Mythology class, the Hecatonchires were the first sons of Gaia and uranus, they were giants with 100 heads and 100 arms. Uranus thought them ugly and threw them into Tarturus where they later helped Zeus overthrow his father Chronos (who had overthrown his father Uranus)

Indeed she was, but she is worth mentioning specifically b/c, IIRC, she was the only one that was mortal.
And thanks, it's odd how many people forget Norse mythology for stuff.

The only 2 that mean anything to me are Vampires (although there are legends of a couple from the medievil period who drank peoples blood because they believed it would make them immortal, they probably died of a blood related disease lol)
