Unicorn (note spelling->NOT a monster planet/dark god)
Dragon (many types of these)
Cockatrice (just because I wanted to say cock->its some sort of flying lion thing I think)
Pegasus (a winged horse)

I'll post more if I can think of any.

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.

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)
because I totally wish I was one


And Phoenix's coz they look bitchin'....or the artwork does at any rate.
