*Keep in mind that no matter what, all mythical creatures may only have one (1) major ability they are born with. Smaller, less useful abilities may be added, but it is a slippery slope scenario, and the admin may not accept all of them!

**Also! Unless the [life span age # here] tag is placed on a race name, then the standard life span is 100 years of life! Stick to it!

***One more thing. For immortal charries, we have an age limit of 400-500 years so that they aren't 'masters' right off the bat. There is an item in the shop that can remove that age limit, however.[/b][/size]

The Classics

Dragon[immortal]: Dragons are the most famous mythical creatures in history, ranging from the early Ethiopia to the Pyramids of Egypt straight into modern times. They are giant thick-scaled lizards, usually with wings and the ability to breathe fire, though Dragons can breathe any range of elemental breath, all depending on the dragon's type and race.

Griffin: Griffins are the race of knowledge. They pride themselves in fantastic displays of magical lore and tales of old. Anything that is worth knowing, some Griffin somewhere is bound to know it. They are also extremely protective, often hoarding treasure selfishly in caves or dens and harming anyone that dares approach.

Human: Humans are the universal race. There are smart ones, and strong ones. Artsy ones and odd-ball ones. And ones that don't even fit in with all the different cliques. They can take on any social structure, and can adapt to any of the different races' ideals. Now, whether or not they know that the kid they sit next to in geometry is a flaming bird is a completely different story.

Phoenix[immortal]: Phoenixes are the race of emotion. They are purely driven by impulse and need, and because of that, they can be extremely unpredictable and dangerous. Some are truly compassionate. Some are violent and vengeful. Some are even tortured artists, but all are wayward and sensitive, driven by heart alone. Phoenixes, like dragons, are elemental mostly, and they can breathe and exert fire, ice, etc. powers.

Unicorn: Unicorns are the graceful, one horned horses of myth and legend. Some are known to have healing powers, and some others may even have wings. Unicorns are generally dainty and can be vain, but can at times also be wild and unruly enough to stave off even a dragon! It all depends on the temperament.

Chimera: Chimeras are the race of individuality and change. Just like their forms can be made of any animals, so too can their personalities be like night and day from one another. As you can imagine, this makes them very confusing, and often times they can be an untrustworthy race, even to each other. Chimeras are not generally known for their ferocity, but they are not dainty like unicorns and usually are not afraid of a fight

Chimera Making Rules[/u]
Since Chimeras are, in essence, any combination of two or more animals, you may pick and choose your form at will. There are some limitations, though:

• you can't have more than 10 different animals to one form
  
• your animal combinations must go with your powers (meaning no flying if you don't have wings, etc.)
  
• you cannot have more than 3 heads (they can have different personalities, if you want)
  
• all animals must be real, but the coloring does not have to be realistic (imaginary chimera morphs are a special character type, and there are not many of them)

Bicorne: A sleek, gorgeous panther that stalks and eats small mythical creatures and humans. The Bicorne has jagged claws and catlike stealth, making it hard to hear as it approaches.

Ccoa: A cat with fur the color of the weather (meaning, gray, white, or blue) with the power to cause a specific type of weather pattern. some cause rain, while others cause sunny days, fair breezes, and even fog and ice storms. Each cat can cause only one type of weather pattern, and cannot undo it once it is caused.

Cheshire Cat[immortal]: A most peculiar, skinny, striped cat who is able to change it's fur color and is usually seen sporting a wild, toothy grin. The cat is able to grow or shrink in size, disappear and reappear at will, and enjoys engaging others in amusing but often vexing conversation. The Cheshire Cat also has the ability to jump into people's dreams, where it may bother and annoy them even more.

Criosphinx[500]: A lion bodied sphinx with the horns of a ram. the Criosphinx is exceedingly proud, thinking itself superior to others and acting that way constantly.

They are also remarkably tribal, worshiping the moon and banding together in wolf packs as they mostly do not trust other races.

Nekomata[300]: A long cat with a forked tail, usually seen walking on its hind legs. They are capable of performing limited necromancy, have an immunity to most poisons, and are also capable of illusionary techniques similar to the Kitsune's. Their main weakness is the light of the full moon, as it has the power to reveal their tail and ears while in human form. They also have an immense fear of dogs.

Stone Lion[immortal]: Stone Lions are much like gargoyles in that one minute they are normal cats, and the next they are pure, hard stone. Some say they are merely spirits that inhabit a normal statue, forcing it into life, but we know today that they are a type of shapeshifter, able to make their fur rock hard in an instant. They are playful but can be malicious, and sometimes enjoy hunting people.

Tezcatlipoca: A cat that does not exactly have fire powers, but can heat its fur up to such a high temperature that no one can touch it. It can also melt through things like plastic and plaster walls.

Warg: Powerful, demonic wolves. They are huge, normally standing as tall as a full-grown man. They appear to be weak and scraggly, but they can take down prey very easily.

[ωΘĿƒ]

The bear can always be seen dragging an iron chain along with it, causing eerie clanking sounds as it approaches.

Kitsune are powerful illusionists, and can make visions powerful enough even to trick themselves. Whenever a Kitsune becomes a human, their power is stored in a palm-sized pearl. Taking this pearl can cause the Kitsune great weakness, and may even have them fall over the thief's control. Returning this pearl can similarly grant the returner the Kitsune's undying loyalty. Kitsune can have up to seven tails, and the number varies by age and power. They also have an immense fear of dogs.

Lyre Bird: A bird with long flowing tail feathers that can read minds, mindspeak, and knows all languages. They are usually very intelligent, and can be shy at times.

Moon Bird: A white bird similar to a crane or heron, that sheds its bird feathers to swim in lakes and sing as a child human. After its bath the Moon Bird dawns its feathers and flies up to the moon, its song clearing the clouds away and making the rest of the evening warm and lovely.

Nkombe: A white falcon with gold spotted wings that brings forth light. It can cause its feathers to glow brightly, shoot beams of light from its eyes, and even sometimes blind people, though it is a pure and good entity by nature, never wishing to harm unless in self defense.

Nyx: A black raven, the exact opposite to the Nkombe, with powers of darkness spouting from its wings. It can darken small areas around itself, and spreads a thick black haze to confuse people. Unlike the Nkombe, the Nyx is evil, and loves to use its powers for ill.

Sleipnir[400]: The divine eight-legged horses. The fastest horses on Earth, they are able to traverse the land, over the sea, and through the air. Their eight legs are said to represent the eight directions of the wind, as they gallop as quickly as it. They are also remarkably just and loyal creatures.

Thestral [immortal]: Thestrals are sinister-looking winged horses with skeletal, sleek bodies. They have leathery wings which look like those of a bat, and a face which looks a bit like that of a dragon. However, the only beings who are able to see a Thestral are those who have witnessed and fully accepted a death. As dreadful as they may appear, Thestrals are gentle creatures and some even allow beings to mount on their backs, ride, and even train them. They only attack when necassary...and when necassary, things do tend to get bloody, according to their fangs and powerful hooves. Other than that, these creatures are most of the time misunderstood.

[ωΘĿƒ]

Amphisbauna: Amphisbauna, or just Amphis, are a race of silent ferocity. Their first head is that of a dragon, their body of a lizard or dragon, and their hind tail is that of a snake, deathly venomous and able to strike faster than the human eye.

Pihuechenyi[500]: A winged snake, big as a person but extremely thin. The snake is perhaps the closest thing to a vampire you can be, as it drinks the blood of either people or other mythical creatures, hunting them or feasting off them while asleep. The Pihuechenyi also cannot stand sunlight, as its eyes are weak and it is blinded easily by harsh light.

[ωΘĿƒ]

Water Monsters

They are made either from wood or aluminum metals and need to be re-cranked every few days or risk death. It would also appear that the more complex the clockwork body is the more sentient the clockwork being is. Clockwork beings arnt really evil or good they just try to live everyday the best they can.

Itzpapalotl: A cute little butterfly that, if it lands on a plant, can cause that plant to grow and do its bidding. The Itzpapalotl is usually kind and generous though, so this power is more often used for good or to protect it from predators.
