Favourite Monsters
This year will be my first attempt at Nano. At the moment I have a rough outline of the story, but before I flesh-it-out any further, I would like to hear about your favourite out-of-the-ordinary monsters/beasts/and creatures. By this I mean monsters/beasts/and creatures other than the usual Elves and Dwarves etc.
If it helps, I plan on writing the first novel of a traditional quest series. Throughout the series the characters must defeat seven dangerous monsters, which is a bit like the Deltora Quest series except without the magical gemstones etc. At the moment I plan on using a Gregon, a Siren, a Dragon (just for some familiarity), and a Lamia, and possiblely a Mandrake or a Gryffin -I'm still not sure on the last two. So any sort of monsters/beasts/and creatures along these lines would be fantastic. Thanks in advance.
