top 10 fantasy creatures

Especially the famed Thunder Lyger.


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

Jushin?

In no particular order:

Dragons
Elves
Dwarves
Fairies
Giants
Mermen
Ogres
Trolls
'Beast-men' (ie Catpeople, Dogpeople etc)
Angels/Demons

 

[Masquerade]

I'm not positive what most "popular" is meant to mean, but I suppose they'd be:

Dragons
Fey
Lycanthropes
Goblins
Orcs
Elves
Dwarves
Oozes
Doppelgangers
Golems

If I were to reinterpret "most popular" as "most commonly seen in fantastic films/games/books" I would say:

Dragons
Elves
Fairies
Dwarves
Ogres
Trolls
Anthropomorphic animals (i.e. cat-people, etc.)

Ok that's what I am looking for. And I see Dragons, Elves, Dwarves, Fey/Faeries, Orcs or Orges and Anthropomorphic animals/beast-men (which I think the term beast-men means something else) are the top 6 all together so far just from this thread. Thanks

I'd have to add unicorns to that list, too.

If you mean in general as in the whole population, then dragons are the most popular (look how many cultures have them) and then unicorns (in the US). After that, I have no idea.

 

[Eternalknight]

I'd have to add unicorns to that list, too.

Johnathan

Good point. I'd like to revise my list to remove mermen and add unicorns.

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.

You should have provided examples.
