I'm sure everyone has had a fascination with mythical beings rather they were read in a storybook or seen in a video game. There's all kinds of beautiful creatures that people once believed in a long time ago like dragons, unicorns, mermaids, fairies, etc. While very few people still believe in them, they still live on through books, art, games, and TV.
Anyways on this topic talk about your favorite mythical beings, and if possible post a picture of them and tell a little bit about them and why they are your favorite.
My favorite creature is the Succubus. They're beautiful female demons in European Mythology who have bat wings and sometimes tails, horns, claws, or all of the above. But they're mostly shown with bat wings. Succubi have a unique method of feeding on the life force of mortal men through sexual intercourse. They often appear in dreams and take any form they want to seduce a man, and after their "visit" they leave the man dead and give birth to new baby demons.
I think Succubi are very beautiful though very evil and dark, and the way that they can change form to trick mortals is kind of cool. They also wear such awesome outfits in the modern artworks for games like Castlevania and World of Warcraft.
Here's an arkwork of a Succubus from the game Castlevania. I love how she holds a thorny rose in her hand.
