When you say mythological creature, do you include all the stuff from folklore, like folktales, etc?
Stuff from myth… there is a bunch. From folktales when I was a small kid I really loved the story Bunbuku Chagama (the Magic Tea Kettle). That story featured a magical tanuki (racoon dog) and for a long time that was my favorite folktale creature. Later in life, I noticed the artwork for tanuki featured a rather… odd feature that wasn't in the kids book that I read so much. A little embarrassing to be a fan of that.
