In this thread, let's talk about mythological creatures which should appear in fantasy fiction more often.

Spooky Horses

Some of my favorite creatures from Magic: The Gathering are spooky horses.

I know that flesh-eating horses don't make much sense, but I still like them because of how disturbingly uncanny they are.

The Rainbow Serpent

Australian Aboriginal mythology is full of great characters that have been largely unexplored.

Nuckelavee

I've always been fascinated by this monster who cannot tolerate fresh water.

Can anyone think of any others?
