Gargoyle for sure.

I'm between the griffin and the peryton (stag with wings)!
Anyway, gongrats for your amazing work!
Greetings from Greece!
I really like the Bugbear. Both new and old it is just a great monster man :D
But its so hard to choose, um I think I’ll have to go with Fairies.
It's so hard to choose! I've always been fascinated by the Sphinx, asking her riddles before the gates of Thebes; I'm intrigued by the Kraken, pulling ships into the deep. I've shivered at tales of the Wendigo, that hungry spirit stalking the frozen North. And Harpies -- both in myth and in Peter S. Beagle's The Last Unicorn, have always scared me pale! I'm comforted by Gargoyles, who watch and guard. But since iartkandi has dibs on them, and Cantervania mentioned the Griffin, I'll go with Fauns. I think they're better-behaved than Satyrs, but they still have a great time dancing beneath the moon to the music of the pipes!
Lilith from the Babylon myths. The first wife of Adam, ran off to the dead sea. The angels went to bring her back. The found her fornicating and giving birth to demons. she refused to come back.
Pegasus or any winged horse. Fledge in the Narnia tales comes to mind.
Make Mine the goblin and the troll
Mahaha the tickle demon from Inuit Legend!
I'd go with the Phoenix. The symbolism is fantastic, and I've always pictured it as being so beautiful.
:)
I admit to being fond of most trickster characters, so the kitsune and Coyote might tie. I'm also fond of the kirin/quilin, because they're just fun to draw. What's not to like about a dragon-horse? :D
OMG so many wonderful creatures and you want us to pick only one! I can't do it not just one. I love, love, love the Sphinx but...... the Griffin has always held a place in my heart too. Thanks for all the amazing art!!
I have to go with centaurs! I think they are awesome. Congrats on the great looking book! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work at GenCon this year.
Harpies, always!
Centaurs, definatly!
The contest has ended, and Cantervania is the winner! Congratulations!
Thanks to all who participated!
