Best not to call legendary creatures "fictional." As article notes, some turn out to be real. Also, it's arguablly not NPOV - some people do believe in unicorns. Snowspinner

i have some questions related to Burma myth.

• At Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, there's this birdy, beasty, and godly gargoyles:

is this based on some Burma lore, or just some random design? if lore, who or what are they? (reference appreciated)

thanks.

Shouldn't angels count as legendary creatures too?

I was thinking the same. --Eleassar777 07:19, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

Also, shouldn't one differentiate between (roughly) the two categories fabulous creatures and supernatural beings? A griffin or a sea serpent, as far as I can tell, was never believed to be anything but a very odd (and possibly very dangerous) animal living in strange and remote parts of the world, whereas beings such as fairies, nymphs or trolls are connected to folk belief and folk religion. Also, there are genuinely fictional creatures, such as ogres, whom no-one really believed to exist outside of the fairy tales. Salleman 17:44, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Argentinian Legendary Creatures

The Argentinian Legendary Creatures were added in the wrong area with really bad grammar. I wasn't sure that they actually should have been on this page at all, but I wasn't sure what to do with them. So, I just cleaned it up the best I could. If someone else has a better idea of where they belong, feel free to put them there - thanks. Nortonew 21:39, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

I put them at Legendary creatures of the Argentine Northwest region. Strange addition, I must say; but I found the works quoted, so it is verifiable and seemingly notable. --Salleman 19:01, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Obvious Vandalism

"llama dragons pick their noses as they are also homosexual" was put in page. I'll take it out if nobody minds. -66.204.73.130

[edit] Not a dragon!

I've mentioned this on another page. The image of the welsh flag depicts a Griffen, not a Dragon.

Is there any way to change the caption? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tachikoma22 (talk • contribs) 01:55, 17 March 2007 (UTC).

I changed it now, but you can change the caption yourself by editing the article (just go to the article and click on "Edit this page") and find the correct [[image]] tag. There you can change the caption. - Wintran ^(talk) 08:27, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but it is most defiantly a Dragon. If you know anything about Wales you should know that. Check the article Flag of Wales, (etc.) if you don't believe me. --Hibernian 20:40, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox template anyone?

We need one for legendary creatures. Anyone want to do it? Otherwise I'll have to try myself... Funkynusayri 09:23, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
