Feeling stupid. Further research shows nisser to be plural for nisse which is another name for a tomte. I added a listing for nisse with a an indication to see Tomte--Carapowers 16:01, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Richard Dorson in "A Theory for American Folklore" in American Folklore and the Historian, University of Chicago Press, 1971, makes reference to the Norwegian demonic being the Nisser. Perhaps this creature should be added to the list. --Carapowers 15:42, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

I removed Gigantopithecus because I don't think a prehistoric animal belongs on this list. Perhaps Giant Ape or another article would be better for a legendary creature. -- Triple07 2:51 19 Nov 2006.

"List of fictional species" sounds like all the Star Trek races belong here, too? :) -- Timwi 09:40 28 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Yes :) Nikola 11:08 28 Jun 2003 (UTC)

I wasn't actually being serious about that. I don't think we should combine lists of Star Trek species with things like dragons, werewolves, gryphons or the like. I vote we create a List of Star Trek races (I'm surprised it doesn't already exist) and link to it from here. -- Timwi 13:26 28 Jun 2003 (UTC)

This content duplicates (in very small part) mythical beast. I think this page should be deleted, but I won't list it on VfD til we hear from the author... --Dante Alighieri 09:50 28 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Well, what I wanted is to make a list of all fictional species, mythical or not, of beasts aliens or plants, it's just that mythical ones first came to my mind. As the list gets larger, it would be separated by groups of species. Nikola 11:08 28 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Fair enough, I'll drop in a few non-mythical ones now to get the ball rolling. --Dante Alighieri 19:21 28 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Since list of aliens in fiction and list of species in fantasy fiction are already seperate lists, this page's title is now quite misleading. I think list of species in folklore and mythology would be a better title, following the lead of list of giants in folklore and mythology. -Sean 05:32, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Are there any legendary creatures that were proven to exist? I mean were there any that were thought to be mythical but now there officialy exist?

I removed hominids, which are patently not "legendary" creatures.

[edit] I’m looking for a mythical creature ... please help :)))

Sorry, but it’s my first time and I wasn’t sure where to post my question so bare with me.

I’m looking for a mythical creature that when killed will reborn stronger and more dangerous thank before. Because of his special ability there wasn’t any creature that can take him and eventually he dies from old age. Thank you,
