top 10 fantasy creatures

[tecnowraith]

Not sure where to put this but I like to know what would be the top 10 most popular fantasy creatures in general? If you had to choose from any to all of movies, anime, pen-paper/computer games and books to put in this list, what would it be?

I don't know how I'd rank the 10 best fantasy creatures ever, but I do know that Gelatinous Cube would be #1.

Gelatinous Cubes rock!

 

[tecnowraith]

well it's more of most used fantasy race or creatures not monsters.

 

[KaosDevice]

Well it would have to be the lyger, half lion half tiger, known for its' magical powers.

 

[Black Omega]

Well it would have to be the lyger, half lion half tiger, known for its' magical powers.

Especially the famed Thunder Lyger.


An in joke on Japanese wrestling most people won't get.

Top creature would have to be the dragon for power and iconic status.
Next maybe the orc for it's iconic status as arrow fodder.
After that it gets a bit tougher.

I was tring to stay away from the term "playable" creatures or races since this not taken from games. I was not sure how to be more general in my question.
