I like Russian folklore stories, where people lived side by side with fantasy creatures, feeling their presence everywhere, and could ask for their help and protection, as most of these creatures were kind and friendly to them.

 I‘m a girl like dreaming.I want to have a magic world like Harry Potter.How nice.

when i was a little girl,i realy afraid of ghosts,so many people told me that were exist.but as i grew up,i realised ghost was not exist,but i like these stories,full of imaginations.
I love fairy tales.

I live in a region of Spain where we have a traditional leyend….but it is not related with mithologic creatures: The leyend says that in the woods or in rural villages sometimes appeared the “Holy Company”, a group of souls in Purgatory  (I’m not sure if this is the correct term to refere about souls who are between the mortal world and life world) who led a big cross with them and walk through the village announcing that someone in the village is going to die or…if you see them, you became one of them, walking the eternity as a soul in Purgatory.

On the one hand, say that our legends are very influenced by the catholic religion and on the other hand, as my father says….plenty of this legends and mythos have dissapeared with the electric energy xD

Fairies

Fairies are people friendly, female, mythological creatures. Serbian people imagine them as girls with gold hair and wings, dressed in long, see-through dresses. They live far away from people. They can transform into many animals, especially in swans, falcons, horses or wolves. They fall in love with heroes, that they help by giving advice and doing good deeds. They are very good with herbs, which they use to heal wounded soldiers. If someone takes their wings, they transform into ordinary women.

Here in morocco, we have in our culutre alot of fantasy creatures, when i was kid my mother always said to me don’t go out home cause there is a creature called ” AL Ghule” :D

I’ve got a story of fantasy creatures from my country. One day they discovered a snake which was the head of a girl and the rest were a snake, I was so impressed by the sounds of it. They even showed it on TV screen. So, It’s real fantasy creatures exist, ‘cause me I’ve seen one, I don’t lie to you my friend. It’s a Democratic Republic of Congo Story, even though you check it in google !!! They exist !!!

Our life is so serious, so I dont find any harm if we believe in fairy-tale’s characters.

There are a lot of fantasy creatures in russian culture and folklore.
First creature is Baba Yaga. That is the old ugly woman, which live in the small house standing on the chicken legs at the deep forest. There are different variants about her personality. There are fairy stories where she is a ugly wick creature which dream to meet some person who get lost in the wood, roast him/her and eat him/her. But sometimes clever sly person can cheats and laughs at her for his/her aims.
There is another creature at the russian fairy tale. Its name is Zmey Gorynych. It is really huge and can fly. It has three heads which give off the fire from their mouth. That fire burn everything by its way.
There is some more interesting creature at the russian fairy tale. His name is Kocshey Bessmertny. His name means that he never die, because his death keeps in the needle which keeps in the egg which keeps in the oak and nobody knows where that oak grow…

Seiyf, all fantasy creatures are into something. Beautiful mermaids or sirens can mesmerise you and get you into delirium and the whole life will be passed in vain. But how feminine and beatuiful they are.

Dragons can get very angry as well and burn to the ground everything on its way.

BiG Foot, well, he’s quiet so far, but as they say beware of the silent dog and still water:)

Innocent Unicorn  can a bad and good omen…

And the most touching and sad story is about Medusa who hasn’t always been ugly and was punished by Goddess Athena for being rebellious as a mortal one and throwing into Athena’s face the argument of being jealous of Mudusa’s beauty. Athena made her ugly. But somehow, in spite of the Goddesses horrifying spell, we still see the beauty of Medusa, otherwise the famous world fashion designer wouldn’t picked her as the logo of his company. Not Athena, but Medusa!! Not her ugliness make the man blind, her beauty that comes through spell. Well, Athena is to blame!:))

Olya,

ı dont like Medusa ,

coz she has a power that she can make a man blind who sees her,

:(

I love Meduza, Versace logo. Recently bought a T-shirt with its sparkling image, half face and now very happy. Girls will understand me!:)

Bigfoot,

Sentor,

Dragons,

Pegasus,

Phoenix,

Medusa,

I think, in all socities ,there are some mythological creatures for expressing fears of human being.

ha haaaaaa  that was great , we have some thing fantasy in our own culture called “JEN” !

usually “JEN” comes when you are alone at home :)

oh my god i cannt belive it 

iam not skeptical about it iam sure that is fals

i hate mythological

I think without fantasy creatures, it would be too boring…so they can make fary tales more interesting and magic!!!!

Just like unicorn in Greek, in China, we have dragon, phoenix, which are our favorite mythological creatures.  Dragon has become the totem of Chinese people, that’s to say, a symbol.

There is another interesting mythological creature, maybe loved by guys. That’s foxtrel, I am not so sure if this is the correct word, but that’s one creature in the old day’s novels, it is a fox in the daytime, and at nights it became a sexy girl to seduce a man who was still reading books in deep nights.  LOL. Men must love this creature so much.
