Another one from Labyrinth :D

What is(are) your favourite mythical beast(s) and why?

I like traditional fantasy monsters:
Dragons!
Unicorns!
Centaurs!
Mermaids!
Pegasi!

As for the reasoning: Just because!

Thanks to Leonard Nimoy (kicking out the jams) and his In Search Of television show, I have a fascination about the more modern mythical creatures.

Last year I drove up the west coast a couple hundred miles to visit the Bigfoot festival and frollick with other believers of Bigfoot and Sasquatch.

The Loch Ness monster also captures my imagination.  

Of course, I guess my answers are off topic because they're both REAL and not mythological! ;)

Edit: Let me add Trogdor, the Mothman and the Jersey Devil to the list :)

Modern:
Jackalope!

Older:
Charybdis! (of course)
Mermaids!
Zombies!
Vampires!
Kitsune!
Heroes! (in the ancient greek sense of the word: a demi-god cursed with one flaw)
Dragons!

And I'm sure there are others.

'Mythical beast'... That takes some thinking... *ponder* Gryphon and sphinx come to mind, perhaps it's the lion parts... When it comes to 'my' (Marvel) universe, I'd say Galactus (who isn't really a beast, but sooooo awesome).

Jabberwock! *burble*

I coded one on Nanny, but it never made it out to the playable area, luckily. It was deadly in a way that scared even my wiz.

Who can't help but get all warm and snuggly when they cozy up to a three-headed firebreathing dragon? Hmmm... idea!

Cerberos the three-headed beast (from when I was little and read about greek mythology and the underworld) and of course Dragons and Vampires.

I like elves, fairies, unicorns, pegasi, unipegs, dragons (especially the komodo dragons), phoenixes....

And I totally agree with Martinique. I love jackalopes. They're very popular here in Colorado.

So many I guess, as long as they are huge and fearsome. :)
First thing that came to my mind was dragons, and especially Pet. :)
Although Pet can't be such a scary monster as Valdor, a truly bored player he is, killed him 55 times.
But, still ... many people died up there.

Vampires, creatures of the night that can be both noble and wild.
Phoenix , they rise from their ashes.
Pegasus, because the're free.
Dragons, because of their might.
