Mythical creatures are everywhere. They are in stories, movie, and television. We all know about fairies and goblins, but do we all know about some of the rarer mythical creatures like ghouls (not to be confused with a ghost), kelpies, and hippocampuses? Yeah, they can be tough to keep track of because each culture has their own set of mythical beings that they told their kids about when they were telling stories back in the ancient days. It is pretty cool to think that those stories still survive up until the present day. Who knew that tales of the Loch Ness Monster and witches would still be so popular?
Know about folklore and all of the different mythical creatures? Think that any of these creatures have share similar personality traits with humans? Some might have a short fuse or a sense of humor like humans do. Maybe they help people or are vindictive just like some humans. Every mythical creature puts their own spin and twist on a story and they are all super cool in their own way. Take our quiz and tell us which mythical creatures are most like you and we will tell you which vampire is most like you!
Vampire
Vampires are tricky creatures. They are very attractive, but you can not get too close to them unless you want to end up as their next meal. Many say they are damned as they are unable to die in way. Well, they are dead but they are unable to cross over to the after life. They must hunt for blood for eternity.
Demon
Demons are a tough one because some people claim they are real while other people claim they are not real. Demons are the Devil's henchmen and they go around collecting souls by driving people to either commit suicide or kill others. Either way they are just happy to provide a soul to their master.
Dragon
There are supposedly many kinds of dragons out there. Just reference Harry Potter to get a few helpful hints on dragons. Some are more fierce than others, and not all of them breath fire believe it of not. Also, not all of them fly. Good thing this is only a mythical being otherwise we'd be in some trouble.
Mermaid
Some stories say they are good and others say they are evil. It's hard to know which to believe. In ancient folklore, mermaids were known to look like beautiful maidens in their top halves, but were tasked with dragging sailors to the deaths when the sailors would be attracted to them. Yikes.
Elf
Elves are from Germanic folklore. They are human like in form, but they have pointed ears and they are smaller than most humans. They usually have magical powers and they have supernatural beauty. Elves have the ability to either help or hurt humans, so you always want to be on their good side.
Witch
The common misconception here is that all witches are bad, have green skin, and worship Satan and that simply is not true. In fact, there are many white witches that use their powers for good. They don't sacrifice animals or pledge themselves to the Devil although there are some that do that as well.
Werewolf
Werewolves are interesting creatures because they still are essentially human when the moon is not full. It is hard to pick them out from a crowd during the daylight. However, when that full moon is out, you better run because there is nothing human about that beast whatsoever.
Zombie
Zombies once were humans, but no longer. They came down with some sort of virus and came back to life (sort of) with their brain barely functioning. All they want is food and that food is human flesh. The only way you can truly kill a zombie is cutting off their brain power entirely.
Dwarf
A dwarf is a mythical creature that is known for its stone or metal work. if you remember in Lord of the Rings, Gimley was a dwarf and was actually a very accurate depiction as such. He was short, stocky, stubborn, but yet a great fighter and a hard worker. He also liked to have fun when it came down to it.
Fairy
For the most part, fairies are pretty harmless. Just think of Tinkerbell in Peter Pan. However, they can have a little bit of a mischievous side to them as well. Remember how Tinkerbell wanted to turn the Lost Boys against Wendy? it wasn't very nice of her, but that's what fairies do sometimes.
Basilisk
Just as the Harry Potter stories introduce us to it, the basilisk is a gigantic snake that can kill you with a single look. Just making eye contact with the thing will suck the life right out of you. Pretty scary, right? Also, imagine the amount of venom it has in its fangs—yeah a whole lot of it. No thanks.
Griffin
A griffin is a nobel animal that has the head and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion. The griffin is known to be the king of creatures since the lion is the king of beasts and the eagle is the king of birds. The griffin is known for guarding treasures and priceless possessions.
Chimera
A chimera is usually depicted as a lion, with the head of a goat arising from its back, and a tail that might end with a snake's head. In Greek Mythology, this creature also breathes fire, kind of like a dragon, so you don't want to go messing around with it. Could you imagine facing this thing?
Troll
Trolls are from Scandinavian folklore. They are described as being dwellers in isolated caves, rocks, or mountains. In more recent stories, they were known as the "guardians" of bridges. Where they would typically live under the bridge and make it nearly impossible for anyone to cross.
Mummy
Okay, let's be honest here. Mummies are a real thing. However, they don't spring to life and start killing people like they do in many scary stories. Mummies are embalmed bodies that are hoping to pass over to the after life. Many times they are well to do people like pharaohs or the like.
Centaur
He has the upper body of a man and the lower body of a horse. He is also typically found playing a pan flute. They were originally created by Zeus to protect one of his illegitimate children from his jealous wife Hera, but they eventually inhabited Earth as well. According to mythology that is anyway.
Ghost
We all know what a ghost is. A ghost is the spirit of someone who has unfinished business. Some ghosts are good and some are not so good. Typically, we feel the presence of a ghost when we are in the darkness and things are still or quiet. We can hear voices or even capture an image of an orb if we take a picture. Spooky.
Yeti
Believe it or not, people actually debate whether the yeti is real or not to this day. Otherwise known as the abominable snowman, the yeti is part of Nepal's folklore and is said to live way up in the freezing cold mountains. He tends to keep to himself as there is no real evidence that he actually exists.
Pegasus
Pegasus is the cousin of the unicorn, and it is equally just as hard to find as one as well. However, a pegasus was part of Greek Mythology, so it has been around for quite some time and accompanied some Greek Gods like Hercules on their conquests. They are a shining beacon of good.
Ghoul
No, it is not the same as a ghost. In fact, a ghoul is something from Arabic folklore that is a demon or a monster, not just a simple spirit that has passed on. Although it is a human-like monster, these beasts hangout in graveyards and consume human flesh like it was a cheeseburger. They also like to lead travelers astray.
Unicorn
Unicorns are notoriously hard to find. Okay, maybe they are basically a horse with a horn on its head, but still. They aren't too common in the mythical world. They are also known for their purity as well. You aren't supposed to hurt a unicorn or else you can be cursed. Who would want to hurt one anyway?
Manticore
A manticore is a beast that comes from Persian legend and it might look like a dragon from a distance, but actually has the wings of a dragon, the body and face of a lion, and a tail that is covered in poisonous quills. In some accounts, these quills would actually shoot like arrows making it even more dangerous.
Hippogriff
Remember Buckbeak in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban? Yeah, he was a hippogriff. The front half of his body is an eagle and the back half of his body is a horse. It is very closely related to a Griffin which is half eagle and half lion, but it is not quite the same thing.
Gnome
Gnomes are pretty friendly, unlike their distant cousins the trolls. These little farmers of sorts live in mushrooms or other forest objects and take part in magic. They also are very close with the animal life that lives in the forest as well as they make friends with all of the animals. Humans usually don't interact with them.
Imp
Imps are closely related to both fairies and goblins. You may think those two can in no way be related, but they are. In fact, imps live in the forest with the fairies. Imps are also pranksters similar to how fairies can be sometimes. Some stories say that imps have magical powers, but not all stories.
Loch Ness Monster
Not much is known about the Loch Ness Monster besides the fact that it lives in Scotland's Loch Ness and it is lovingly named Nessy. The Loch Ness Monster tends to keep to itself and not cause a problem with those living on the lake. That is pretty cool of it since it is a huge monster.
Pixie
If you think pixies and fairies are the same, you are wrong. A pixie is actually a type of fairy, particularly they are the fairies that play tricks on humans. Pixies also tend to gather at night whereas fairies are typically out during the daytime hours. Sometimes, there are even wars between certain pixies, fairies, and sprites.
Kelpie
Kelpies come from Scottish folklore and they are horse-like beings that come from lakes and ponds and shape shift into whatever they feels like they need to be. On their own they are pretty creepy looking, and to make matters worse, one of their favorite forms to take on is a human form.
Sea Serpent
A sea serpent is a dragon that is in the water. It does not breathe fire, but it is an excellent swimmer. it is also known for taking down many ships in Greek Mythology and heroes like Homer had to take them on during their endeavors. It wasn't hard taking one on since they had the home court advantage.
Redcap
A redcap is a type of goblin, but they don't just play tricks on you, oh no, they try to murder you. They are the most dangerous type of goblin to run into. If you see a red hat on any type of forest creature or castle dweller, run away and run away fast. these guys have no mercy, especially for humans.
Leprechaun
Leprechauns are harmless creatures as well—for the most part. They sometimes play tricks on people searching for their gold. However, their big thing is just mostly hiding gold at the end of a rainbow. In all honesty, they just do not like getting caught by humans, so they tend to stay away.
Hippocampus
Not to be confused with the hippocampus part of our brains, this hippocampus is a mythological sea creature that is part horse. Known in many Western countries as a sea horse, this creature is very friendly. It has the upper body of a horse and the lower body of a fish.
Sphinx
The Sphinx goes way back to the ancient Egyptians and even makes an appearance in the story of Oedipus in the times of Ancient Greece. The Sphinx has a woman's head and a lion's body and will propose a riddle about the three ages of man, which went unsolved until Oedipus appeared.
Siren
A siren is similar to a mermaid in that they are water dwellers. In ancient folklore, sirens would sit on the rocks and sing to sailors to get them to sail closer to them. They had great beauty, so the sailors would typically fall for their trap and they would go crashing into the rocks and die.
Banshee
A banshee comes from Irish Mythology. it is a female spirit who heralds the death of a family member, usually by wailing or shrieking. Many say that banshees have long flowing hair along with long robes as they float along. Many also say that banshees typically die young and that's why they are so upset.
