The Energon Pub

Just asking how many do you know?Make them up if you want.I know Manticore.

Here is one other WEREWOLF

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.

Jesus Prime - Something that can spam like that HAS to be mythical.

Generally:

Sphinx
Wadjet
Phoenix
Griffin
Chimaera
Gorgon
Stymphalian Bird
Roc
Harpy
Kraken
Mermaid

Specifically:

Echidna
Typhon
Nemean Lion
Lernean Hydra
Python
Medusa
Fenris
Jormungund
Scylla
Charybdis

Modern:

Jersey Devil
Moth Man
Grays
Sasquatch
Yeti
Nessie
Mokele Membe (sp?)

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.

Here are some common, but not as memorable ones:
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)

Aren't we forgetting the grandaddy of them all?

Cthulhu!

I'm going to assume you're not talking about the Australian mammal as it's not exactly mythical ...

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.

you forgot Champ and Chupa [but they think they found him]

I could name quite a few, but not off the top of my head. but I love reading mythology and on the creatures therein.

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.

South American is not where Chupa-cabra made his first apperance.

Tsuchinoko - extremely rare, super-poisonous Japanese snake-worm.

Powerful. Quite powerful. He can also power a blimp with his beer gas.

I think the Liger is just about my favorite.

But it's not mythical. It exists.
