Wouldn't life just be a little
more exciting with dragons or
fairies flying around?
With creatures who can fly,
spit fire or grant wishes,
books really do star some of
the coolest beings out there.
Here are just a few of the most iconic
mythical creatures from stories.
Fire Dragon like Ember from Ember and
The Ice Dragons by Heather Fawcett.
Amber might look like an ordinary girl but
don't be fooled,
she was actually born a fire dragon.
When she was on the brink of death her
adoptive father turned her into a human
girl to save her life.
Now, an undercover dragon,
she still struggles to hide her wings and
has a tendency to burst into flames.
That must be rough when
summer comes around.
Pegasus like Echofrost from Riders of
the Realm by Jennifer Lynn Alvarez.
Echofrost is a sleek silver mare
with dark and light purple feathers,
a white mane and tail and one white sock.
Echofrost isn't the most well behaved,
but her and her rider, Rocky,
make a pretty great team.
They're both part of the Sky Guard Army
who protects their people from any evils
that may emerge.
Centaurs like Glenstorm from
The Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis.
Glenstorm is a powerful, impressive
warrior with a full golden beard.
He is a wise leader and valuable counselor
for Prince Caspian being one of the first
to pledge allegiance to the Prince
during the Narnian Revolution.
Satyr, like Grover from
Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan.
One of Percy's best friends is Grover,
a Satyr with curly brown hair and
brown goat legs.
He has a strong connection to nature and
can talk to animals.
When he's trying to pass for
a human he is most likely spotted with
a baggy hat on to hide his pointy horns.
Nymphs from the School of Good and
Evil by Soman Chainani.
Nymphs are the security guards for
the School of Good with a uniform of
pink dresses, white veils,
and gloves of blue lace.
Even though they don't have wings,
they still have the power to levitate.
Ogre, like Evie,
from Ogre Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine.
After Evie turns down a marriage proposal,
she finds herself transformed
from a girl into a hideous ogre.
Now she has 62 days to
accept another proposal, or
she'll stay an ogre forever, no pressure.
The Bai, like Bai-Vinca from Lolani of
the Distance Sea by Erin Entrada Kelly.
The Bai are beautiful majestic birds and
Bai-Vinca in particular has brightly
colored yellow, red,
green, and blue feathers.
But don't let the colors distract you.
She also has intimidating eyes,
a sharp beak, and dangerous talons,
and she's not afraid to use them.
Goblin like Jackie from Jaclyn Hyde by
Annabeth Bondor-Stone and Connor White.
Jaclyn Hyde is almost perfect, but
being almost perfect isn't good enough.
But when she takes a sip of the perfection
potion, the potion turns her into Jackie,
a goblin like monster who will do anything
to make sure Jaclyn comes out on top.
Werewolves from Monsterstreet#1 The Boy
Who Cried Werewolf by J.H. Reynolds.
Max Bloodnight is forced to
spend a weekend in Wolf County.
And if that wasn't bad enough,
he has to spend it with the werewolf
who murdered his own father.
And now it's up to him to solve
the mystery of his father's death before
the legendary werewolf strikes again.
Talk about a bad weekend.
Fairies like Ophelia Delphinium Fidgets
from Granted by John David Anderson.
Ophelia is a fairy but
she's no ordinary fairy,
she's a grantor whose job is to grant the
wishes of unsuspecting humans every day.
She may be small but
she sure is mighty and
always carries a vial of
fairy dust around her neck.
