Were they invented in Harry Potter or around before that? Took me a while to get that one, too.

Are you sure? Griffins were around way before Harry Potter. And "hippo" just means horse. I assumed Rowling had just combined the two because as a child I was obsessed with mythology, Dungeons & Dragons and such and never came across hippogriffs.

Hippogriffs were mentioned by name in Orlando Furioso, so Harry Potter was a few centuries too late to claim naming rights.

Here's the relevant passage, from canto IV, verse VIII:

no fiction wrought magic lore,

But natural was the steed the wizard pressed;

For him a filly to griffin bore;

Hight hippogryph. In wings and beak and crest,

Formed like his sire, as in the feet before;

But like the mare, his dam, in all the rest.

Such on Riphaean hills, though rarely found,

Are bred, beyond the frozen ocean's bound.

And here's how Thomas Bulfinch describes it in 1863:

Like a griffin, he had the head of an eagle, claws armed with talons, and wings covered with feathers, the rest of his body being that of a horse. This strange animal is called a Hippogriff.

Aliens can pronounce cthulhu - humans just aren't capable. The sleeping one is also one of my favorite deadmau5 songs.

No. Completely unacceptable. Satyrs are not immortal, nor are they known for pointy ears or archery skills.

C'thulhu and ent shouldn't be on here as both are not mythological creatures.

The clue for nymph is way to vague

zombie really isn't mythological either.

Zombies are definitely mythologically associated with various world beliefs, including those in the roots of voodoo.

True, but if we're talking about voodoo zombies, then the "eating brains" thing isn't part ot that. That's a Hollywood invention. In voodoo, zombies are basically just mindless laborers that don't need food or rest.

Can someone tell me the difference between Hippogriff and Griffin. If there isn't a difference then can you allow Griffin for an acceptable answer.

Yes, a griffin has the head, wings, and front legs of an eagle, but the hindquarters of a lion. A hippogriff is the offspring of a griffin and a horse, and so has the hindquarters of a horse instead of those of a lion.

Isn't Grim Reaper just another name for Death.

And there are actual real Zombis in Voudou which are people drugged so they are effectively dead and then brought back as a a slave to a magician so not quite a mythical creature

Being drugged and then revived later doesn't make you dead, effectively or otherwise. And the people claiming to be zombies in Jamaica are obviously very much alive. Actual, brain-eating walking corpses are, of course, entirely fictional. And impossible.

I'd agree that the Grim Reaper isn't really a creature, more like a mythical person? I don't have a solid argument for this, but I feel like it would be similar to including Zeus, say.

Depends on which kind of elf you're talking about. Not all of them are immortal, either.
