This week's poll of mythical creatures is the brainchild of our member rallwka. Please note that the list of creatures does not include everything in mythology but rather a selection of what is most common in manga series (although I don't think phoenix belongs on that list, but oh well). If your favorite isn't on the list, just choose something that you like that IS on the list.

You can submit poll ideas here (and try to keep them manga/anime-related)

I fall in the "Never" camp also. I'll stick with the real, official, and canon stuff.

A just ruler amongst tyrants

What is up with polls and the gazillion different options?

Anyway, I don't read a whole lot of fantasy manga, but I watched a fair share of TV dramas growing up and Journey to the West remains one of my favourites to this day. Demons/youkai it is then.

I was thinking of choosing for "Giants", it's difficult to chose between demons, vampires, werewolves, and elfs....

Why isn't their a option all mythical creatures? (all dark ones or the light ones would also be nice for an option.)

Even after dead, we raise from the ashes for the sake of manga.

MFW only 1% voted for dragons ._.

Everyday I'm tumblin'

why is tengu listed as dog? i thought tengu was bird-like with a human face and a long nose...

So... Why no option for Unidog?

That's my bad. Took off the "dog" part

I'd like to choose God or Divine Beings but..

Grew up with western fantasy novels so definitely dragons.

I love Griffins:

My name translate as "The Lion", but i always liked Eagles betters because of my love of the air, so since i was a kid i felt that Griffins were the perfect animal, majestic and beautiful.

So, i'm not sure what to chose...

Would have voted for Vampires but lately they are getting too common and irritating _

Man, this poll was really difficult! I love mythical creatures, and I love reading series with mythical creatures even more! Still, as far as manga goes, I think I'd have to go with either kitsune or demon/oni/youkai (I voted for kitsune)... although a manga with elves would be pretty cool, and kappas are just adorable. >.<

Tengu is cool 😀

its cold down here fam ~

What, no Neko-Girls!
