Favorite Fantasy Race/Creature

[Khaled]

I just want to know what fantasy race/creature you like, please post something like:

My favorite fantasy race is the Uruk-Hai because:
Their strong, tall, badass and damn, beautiful, the shape of their heavy armour and blades are hot and cool at the same time + the White Hand Tatoo is great on their bodies or faces, their names are awesome and they have a lion-like roar + I like the way they treat the other Orcs and they can resist without fighting each other for 5 minutes which shows that they are very peaceful (fake)
They are from the book Lord of The Rings written by J.R.R Tolkien
You can post pics too

Uruk-hai peaceful? Bwahahaha. They're less peaceful than the orcs; they just have better discipline. (Re-)Read the books.

As for me, I've read so much fantasy that I've no clue.

 

[Fussiler1]

Dwarves.

They're so damn badass. Beer, meat, awesome bearded woman, what else is there to have?

Norse Mythology/Tolkien/every other generic fantasy writer

AND they hate the damn hippie homosexual Elves.

It was supposed to be a joke (the part with peaceful)

Sorry, acidic sarcasm is kind of hard to catch in completely normal text.

 

[supertoinkz]

Golems and holy creatures

 

[Boris_Spider]

Replicators. (Stargate)

They spread, consume, dominate, etc...

In reality, you can't stop them.

//\\oo//\\

 

[Oohforf]

High Elves/Blood Elves (Wc3/WoW)

Dwarves (I love dem huge noses and deh bearded womenz!)

Tauren/minotuar (mmm burgerz)

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Dwarves.

Hehe you can find all of those things IRL

 

[Fussiler1]

.. FFFFFFFF-

Though, how often do you see a woman with a beard?

Rare. A woman with mustache is kinda more... common?

As for thread, Golems and all other constructs. Except for tentacle monster.

the effing olog-hais are pretty badass, my fav race in tolkien's middle earth.
thats the trolls you see in LOTR. smarter than normal trolls, they have their own language, and can resist sunlight by will of sauron. (did you know that normal trolls turn to stone in sunlight?). not to mention they wield horse-sized beat sticks and warhammers.
yeah i just thought i would post that here cos someone mentioned uruk-hais.

outside of lotr, i aint so sure what is my fav race.

I know everything about Tolkien's trolls

 

[Zombie]

The Blades from Spellforce. Creatures made of black steel, driven by the souls of tortured people, giving out impish screams while cutting through even the armies of the Red Horde. Pretty much the best fantasy creatures ever invented imo.

I'd give the silver award to the Dremora from The Elder Scrolls, too bad I played Oblivion to a degree that seeing one makes me want to stab myself, they make me remember the repetitive process of closing an infinite amount of Oblivion gates.

The third place, I'd give to the Easterlings from LotR. Their armor, especially their helmet is damn badass and I find that whole spear-based combat they conduct kinda imposing.

To finish Oblivion you just gotta follow the main quest

Humans. They're just like me.

Are humans a fantasy race/creature?

No shit? It left a mark because I took my time to explore before actually doing the main quests, but I soon realized it's about as repetitive as it can get, so I stopped for example; closing Oblivion gates. Then came the main quests that guess what, made me close even more Oblivion gates. Kinda got boring after a while.

Are humans a fantasy race/creature?

Depends on what lore you invent for them. For example: http://www.spellforce.com/?rid=1031&lang=en

Lies.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Anything from D&D that appears in Baldur's Gate.

Like Zombie said, depends from what lore/game you base it off.

I believe you now

 

[Darkness-4ever]

Necromorphs from Dead Space and Reapers from Mass Effect.

 

[rcshaggy]

All the Horde's Races. (W1, W2, W3, WoW)
Dragonspawns are cool, and I liked every single race in Warcraft.

Oh and including other fantasy things, I enjoyed the humanoid people created in their stories and such.

 

[Jargalhurts]

i really like cryomancers from mortal kombat cuz something about freezing people feels so badass. warcraft series has really awesome races too like the new Ramkahen race in WOW Cata looks real awesome

 

[Geazergimli2]

Saiyans!!!! lol but foreal Minotaurs are pretty beast

 

[Davesanz]

Hum, dwarves, they are like bearded barrels of hard steel.

 

[En_Fuego]

The Fremen from Frank Herbert's Dune.

 

[Arowanna]

There's to many races/creatures to choose one specific, but sure, I got a list as well...

Reapers from the Mass Effect series, despite that we don't know that very much about them.
Trolls from Blizzard, awesome conversion, in my opinion.
Dwarves from Dragon Age, they are pure kick-ass.

That's just a few of them in an never ending library... LOL...

 

[Zarathustra]

I don't really have a favorite race. That would be racist.

But I will say, anything that kills sparkly vampires has my vote of approval. They don't count as people, so it's OK to hate them.

Cheers to that!

Favorite race is anything spider-like. (Replicators are spider-like)

All hail the mighty spider!

[azlier]

Asheron's Call's Virindi.

Now available in two flavors!

My personal favorite, the tattered cloth flavor.

TATTERED CLOTH YAY

And the newer crystalline variety!

CRYSTALS YAY

Their favorite activities are crafting equally creepy henchmen from various materials, and kidnapping various critters and changing them to be more like them! Augmented Martine not included with purchase. Buy now and get their home dimension, probably filled with fluffy Virindi just waiting to hug you with sickles outstretched!

 

[TwistedImage]

You know, no one's pointed out Tolkien's elves. So I'm gonna go with that. Them elves be needin' some love atm.

 

[Jughead]

Sarah Palin

 

[Evil seal]

My favorite race is the Lizardmen/Lizardfolk. They are cool... in both computer games and roleplaying games.

 

[Gyrosphinx]

Kobolds! They're small, vermin-like, hard-working, mining, engineering, dragon-related, proud, weak creatures living in caves. And they're adorable.

My second place goes to the Trolls of WarCraft. Dey be speakin' da troll dialekt mon. I have some sort of love for cuban/jamaican characters.

My third goes to el Presidente... He's got his own breed.

You know that original (classic) Kobolds are not how you described them so please mention that the Kobolds you are talking about are from the Warcraft lore

 

[Don-Para-]

Combine. Or zombine.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Humans are for me a safe bet, apart from them, I like more tech oriented races in fantasy, but without too much robot and sci-fi crap. Examples: Gremlins from HOMM and KB, Dwarves from Warhammer (and WC3 as consequence) and various Gnomes.

 

[Icedrake]

From the Lord of the Rings: Elves and Rangers.
From WC3: Pandaren

 

[Tyranid]

[Piwlady]

@Khaled

Oh! The beauty is unbearable!
Just sayin'

My fav fantasy race is umm... Terran/human. I always play human in every game so

 

[The World Is Flat]

I am in love with wood nymphs and steampunk baddassness.

woodnymphs = (guess ^^)

Steampunk = THE FUCKING COOLEST THING EVAR.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Steampunk = THE FUCKING COOLEST THING EVAR.

Seems more like a theme then a race/creature

 

[The World Is Flat]

IT IS A RACE OF AWESOMENESS. (artificial life)

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Gotta be one of Adrian Tchaikovsky's insect-kinden, probably the wasp kinden, their sting art is so pwnsome =D

It's kind of a "you've made an awesome, unique race" favourite though, rather than I would want to play/be one ;p

Omg, I would turn gay to be with that Uruk-Hai

 

[Don-Para-]

I am gay because of that Uruk-Hai.

 

[xxdingo93xx]

Guess what - white wolves.
Oh wait a sec, they're not fantasy.... oh well ... nvm

 

[-Grendel]

anything undead, rotting or demonic takes my taste
