I'd have to say hydralisks. I think they're the most badass thing since sliced bread. Though second, I'd have to go with the classic skeleton.
 
Land-paddling is what turtles do, and damn, they do it well.

I've personally seen a turtle run away from a dog and escape under a car, actually. It then got tired or something after being stuck under that car with a barking dog outisde for 10some minutes, and went outside to kick that dog's ass. It did.
 
By far my favorite is Werewolves, (betcha couldn't guess that lol) In alot of early gen games they were either NPC monsters, or a race bent on killing every living thing, kinda like Orcs really.

But like Orcs in recent years they too have been starting to be depicted more noble and kind, and less beastial and savage. I'm looking foward to seeing what a lot of quests from Worgen NPCs in WoW will be like.

Regards,

Jake
 
Most: All creatures that haven't become normal. Old school monsters that are monstrous and not cultivated. They can have some intelligence, hierarchy, and all that, but I don't like them to become human sidekicks or live together with humans. Thus, I'm tired of modern fantasy elves and dwarves. They mingle too much with humans, making them too 'normal'.


Duergar - dwarves in Old Norse, but in the sagas they can jump out of rocks and wield powerful magic. They're more mysterious than in Tolkien's universe, which is cool. They can also easilly be adapted into horror fantasy. I've recently been working on a pen-and-paper dark age horror rpg. I made a duergar dungeon for this campaign. The adventurers would first encounter them as abnormal faces in the stone walls. They had trapped hostages by melting them into the rock with duegar magick using viking runes.

Amphibean anthropoids, such as Deep Ones from the Cthulhu Mythos. Deep Ones rape humans in isolated settlements such as fictional Innsmouth. The hybrids look like humans at first, though slightly degenerate, and then over time they become Deep Ones. Cool. But I generally like alien, disgusting, anthropoid creatures of the sea, unlike mermaids who are just pretty fish-maids that can't hop out of the water and attack you on land. Murlocs are ok, but rarely scary.


They're sometimes depicted more as fish, and sometimes more as frog, with bloated yellowish bellies, gills,
and amphibean hands and feet.

Oh and I like the Protoss as well, and a few of the creatures that were seen on the worlds of the Starcraft Universe
 
Dragons, they are the most awesome fantasy creatures ever made.
they are almost unbeatable and like gold :D
 
My favourite Race is Orcish race by far...and their nemessis from Ashenvale, the Night Elves..
As race I would preffer Goblins too(not Warcraft Goblins, but they are ok too)

As creatures I preffer Kraken, Hydra, Dragon, Werewolf..These creatures are awsome xD
 
I like Vampires, so long as they're not the sparkly fairy kind that seems to be common these days. Hellsing may have influenced that fact.

Other than that, I like dragons and I'm liking Diablo 3's Demon Hunter.
