Dozens of gryphons and a whole shelf of assorted dragons thanks to trad games and SF cover art, and I suppose all these Space Wolves count as werewolves so a couple dozen more there.

Giant squid have been proved to exist (we've actually had evidence for hundreds of years, they were never really cryptozoological) but there were definitely mythologies woven around them so that means krakens count as mythological animals.

I guess that aliens and bigfoot would also count, there's been stories and legends told about them since ancient times. I guess that Santa would also count.


Mythological and fictional aren't quite exactly synonymous though. Is there a mythology built up around Mr Planters? (Actual question, I'm no expert in Planters lore)

Krakens are no mere giant squid, they are big enough to break apart ships by wrapping 1 tentacle around one.

Santa is a demigod, or a spirit, not an animal.

is not a sandwich

Discounting the 6.5 billion rpg sourcebooks/fantasy novels/warhammer figures, off the top of my head there is:

- 5 or 6 Groots
- 1 Chinese dragon
- 1 fairy
- 3 unicorns
- 2 Pegasus
- 3 alicorns
- 1 jackalope
- 2 skeletons (regular and pirate)
- 20-25 aliens (tiny)
- 1 dragon horse
- 4 dragons
- 1 kobold
- 3 winged pigs
- 1 dwarf
- 2 Cthulhus

I would promise a more thorough count later, but frankly now I'm sad about my life.

It's be pretty awesome if Jesus' mythology came about the same way as the kraken's did.


"Yarrr, it was a dark and stormy night and the waves were crashing like thunder, causing the ship to buck like a wild horse. The night's watch were huddled around the ship's wheel when they heard that eerie sound that all sailor's dread .... footsteps approaching across the waves. Away past the port gunn'ls they spied the dull red gleam of inhuman eyes glaring at them. T'were a giant angry messiah, the moonlight glintin' off his thorny crown!!"
