Mythical Creature Figurines Make Great Gifts!

If someone you know loves mythical creatures - dragons, unicorns, and the like - why not buy them a beautiful figurine that captures the magic of these wondrous beings? I'm a lover of these amazing creatures and nothing makes me happier than a lovely figurine of a dragon (my favorite and very appropriate in 2012 the Year of the Dragon!), unicorn, or pegasus. And then there's Nessie to remind me of my home in Scotland, always welcome too of course!

These work especially well for Christmas as well as birthdays, graduations, Mothers Day (I'd go for that one!), Valentines, or any special occasion for a lover of mythical creatures.

Mystical Creatures of Legend and Mythology

I have always been fascinated by legendary creatures. They may be called "mystical" or "fabulous creatures," reflecting their supernatural nature. Often considered imaginary and without any real existence in our world, still these creatures provide a special something that enriches our lives in a variety of ways.

Why not celebrate and enjoy them with a collection of delightful figurines? These make the loveliest gifts for anyone who appreciates these special creatures.

Pegasus Figurines

Pegasus is the Spectacular White Flying Horse

People confuse Pegasus with unicorns, but Pegasus is the white horse that flies; he has no horn. Pegasus appears in Greek mythology helping Bellerophon in his heroic task of defeating the chimera. Horses make wonderful figurines already, so adding the wings of Pegasus just makes them even more spectacular.

The Unicorn is the single-horned horse

Unicorn Figurines

The Unicorn, the horse with the single horn, is especially elegant and delightful as a figurine.

Fairies are magical little people

Fairy Figurines

Fairies are surely one of the favorite creatures of legend and mythology. They are supernatural beings, small and humanoid. There are many types of fairy, and they appear in numerous stories, legends, and of course "fairy tales"! Fairies are usually very pretty and lend themselves to the most delicate figurines.

Dragons!

Dragons are special mythical creatures, famous for breathing fire and flying.

Dragons are popular mythical creatures, appearing not only in legends and tales of old but in works of art, literature and games of the contemporary era. Did they ever exist? Do they exist today in some other realm? Whatever the answer, they are inspiring creatures in many ways, powerful, almost majestic in appearance, and credited with abilities that may be supernatural. If you know a dragon lover, they will surely appreciate a gift of a dragon figurine.

Chinese Dragon Figurines

2012 is the Year of the Dragon!

Oriental dragons are different from their Western counterparts - they have no wings. The Chinese dragon has a long serpentine body and an anthropomorphic face, complete with beard. They are generally regarded as powerful but benevolent, bringers of good fortune. Actually these creatures still fly despite having no wings, because they are spiritual beings not bound by the laws of the physical world.

Loch Ness Monster from Scotland

The favorite Scottish Mythical Creature!

There is a long-standing debate over whether the Loch Ness monster actually exists, is merely a figment of people's imagination, or has always been just a hoax. The best known accounts of "Nessie" come from the 1930s. And the most famous, iconic photo of Nessie, the so-called "Surgeon's Photograph," also comes from that period.

Being a mermaid I guess that I really do have to believe in mythical creatures like myself. A saying a saw long ago on a little plaque showed a mermaid and a unicorn and the saying was, "If you believe in me - I'll believe in you". I thought that was a beautiful sentiment. Best of wishes.

I love unicorns, pegasus, griffons--I even love gargoyles, and at one time or another have collected most of these. (I also love Nessie--but never found many collectibles of him/her!) Fantastic lens!
