You don't have to repost if nobody answered, it's there and everyone saw it, just nobody has anything to say about it.

and I was not sure that I post this message.

My favourite creature would have to be the bird-like one in The Hand of Oberon (Chronicles of Amber). I don't think it was in any other books, but nevertheless, it was cool.... :D

I like the standard, staple fantasy critters, i.e. dragons, trolls and the like, but really original creatures that captured my imagination are:
Slake Moths ~ Perdido Street Station (China Meiville)
Calyx ~ A cat-like creature from The Twins (Gary Wassner)
Balrogs!!! The best imho.
And if you want new spins on the old stock of fantasy monsters, check out M Stover's Heroes Die, where Elves and Fairy-Folk ply their trade in a pretty cool brothel.

I think Slake moths are really cool too! I also like the fact that they were brightly coloured grubs... I could just visualise them.
I do a pretty cool line in 'orrible creatures meself - but I'm too modest to vote for me! ;) :rolleyes:

Now that I think of it, I loved the Four Horsemen from The Talisman of Shannara. Not terribly original but I think Brooks handled them well. :)

I suppose I would have to go for centaurs, I so love Greek mythology that I always give anything on it a second look.

Have to say the bears of Pullman's Dark Materials but have a soft spot for faires of any shape and form
