Some of the most important mythical creatures are elves. They will normally appear as some peaceful jolly and helpful creatures, much unlike trolls and ogres. Ask any child about Christmas Elves, and he will start by mentioning Santa Claus and his team of Elves unpacking toys.

Amongst the most popular mythical creatures, elves rank highly. Unlike some other mythical creatures like trolls and giant ogres, you will view elves as friendlier, some times comical creatures. The most obvious ones are the ones who flock around Santa Claus when it is time to manufacture toys.

"There are vampires among us." What should have been a daunting statement now seems rather trivial, due to the overexposure of these mythical creatures in our modern society. Vampires exist not only in our literature, but also in our television shows, our cinema screens, and of course our Halloween parties. Lately, there seems to be no escape from these fanged monsters, not even in broad daylight.

Just what are fairies? Do they really exist and has anyone ever seen a real fairy? First, before you think I am off my rocker, when it comes to mythical creatures, they are just that- mythical.
