Curiosity. If I asked, would any of you know what mythical creature you would be? Anything from Seraphim to Elves would be considered valid.
The seeds of chaos have been planted...

I would do this:
What kind of mythological creature I would be ... when? To what circumstances does the "would" refer? And who are you to govern over the validity of my wish? If I want to be a mythological bus stop in this hypothetical "would" realm then I have every freedom to consider myself content without your patronising outside affirmation.
I would do this because I don't know you and I'd want to make you run away.

*reappears*
Not quite sure how to respond to that...except by...
*claps in glee*
Oh, fascinating!
I meant no offense, good...sir? I merely wanted to provide appropriate examples of what constitutes the manner of mythical creature I referred to.
*re-examines your response*
I think I got what I wanted...

What creature would I be...if I could change into one right now?
Doppleganger.
What creature would I be...if I could be born as one and live in their natural world?
Dragon.
What creature would I be...if my darkest impulses were modeled into physical form?
Something that was not a crocodile, and not a squid, but had some strange essence that made you want to use "crocodile" and "squid" in your description somewhere.

I sense a Lovecraftian influence.

I'm an INTP; by the standards of the SJ world, I'm already a mythical creature.

Damn you NoahFence! Damn you to hell for taking the best choices first! Well, having my lifelong wish to be a dragon doppelganger usurped by a certain non offensive Ark builder, and in an effort to seem clever and original I suppose I would have to choose God.
Edit: I suppose then I wouldn't have to wonder if he really exists anymore.

Truly. And on that note mythology I adore but creatures? Not so much. I'm thinking Eowyn who really doesn't count so much. Also, I relate to Bender but robots don't really work here.
So I only am a wizard really. But in my other life I'm pure muggle.
Okay I kind of am thinking merpeople now. When I'm swimming which is generally all underwater and diving and stuff, I kind of feel mermaid but more like a fish really. On dry land I 'm always more Artemis to be honest.
Still ....not a creature. Oh, Kreecher in Harry Potter is one of my favorites though. Definitely not a House Elf. Ick.
:no:
Okay my N just went for a dip. I choose a flying sea turtle. Made it up meself I did. brilliant.
Well if I was a lot younger and a guy then I really would have it made here, prolly, right? Shit always in the wrong age and generation and not in the correct space and time. Well shit.

I would be the type: XXXX.
Does anyone think they've ever met one of these? I haven't, nobody's balanced enough.

Hmm.... thats a hard choice... something where I can use a LOT of magic and have unlimited amounts of it, and be able to raise the dead, use dark magics, and control my undead army to take over the world.

No I was thinking Magus with power in necromancing.

I'm not sure a Magi counts as a mythical creature. Apologies, but there it is...

One with a XXXX type personnality would end up killing himself/herself.
It's like tying a knot in the middle of 16 different snakes, and letting them untie themselves. The knot would only get tighter and tighter until they run out of breath.
Morals and values become virtues, some become flaws.

I'd be the Apis Bull, of course. Then I could spread my divine bullshit all over the world. My turn, God.
