  List of species in fantasy fiction - LearnThis.Info Enclyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Fantasy fiction tends to draw upon a common set of creatures that are easily recognizable to fans of the fantastic genre and have some pre-determined traits.
Species available only to non-player characters are often called monsters, regardless of the actual nature of the species in question.
Note that this list does not include fantasy stories' names for species more properly included in other lists, such as Atani (Humans of Middle-earth) or Melnibonéans (Elves of Michael Moorcock's Elric cycle), nor does it include fictional races of humanity unless they are physiologically different enough to merit separate consideration.

Many nations around the world have mythical animals which are widely believed not to exist and for which there is little or no scientific evidence, but which are nevertheless well known and, in a sense, popular.
Some animals on this list are treated more properly by cryptozoology, where there has been a belief that they are real.
Note that the creatures listed below are unofficial fictional national animals and that the tales told about them differ a great deal.

 Mythology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Some critics believe that the fact that the core characters and stories of modern story cycles are not in the public domain prevents the modern story cycles from sharing several essential aspects of mythologies.
Fiction, however, does not reach the level of actual mythology until people believe that it really happened.
For example, some people believe that fiction author Clive Barker's Candyman was based upon a true story, and new stories have grown up around the figure.

 Wikinfo | Legendary creature
Many legendary creatures appear prominently in fantasy fiction, often adding additional depth to the concept of the creature.
In modern times, consciously fictional creatures invented to test ideas are sometimes given mock scientific names; in a certain sense these are the new legendary creatures.
Modern fantasy games and literature, from Tolkien down, also make extensive use of existing legendary creatures and have also invented new ones, some of which have passed into common usage and are thus becoming modern legends.

 Race (fantasy)
Many fantasy stories and worlds call their main sapient humanoid species "races" rather than species.
In most such worlds, these races are related, typically having evolved from one root species (usually humans) by magical or divine influence.
In role-playing games, "race" typically refers to any species that can be played as a player character.

Interior says this particular toad should be delisted, as it has been included due to "data error." However, as in other cases in which Interior acknowledges that a species should be removed, the problem is that delisting is "unfunded." The cost to delist the Houston Toad would be $37,000, the department claims.
If nothing else, the list indicates that Charles Dickens is alive and well and now specializes in taxonomy.
The NWI says the costs of maintaining fictional or plentiful species on Interior's list range from thousands of dollars in some cases to millions in others.

Although the numbers haven't been confirmed, it was believed that the species was decimated--reduced to only one survivor by the early 1990s.
But more were discovered in 1998 in a remote Louisiana bayou during a high school canoe trip and possum hunt, giving hope to the future of this slimy swamp dweller.
The discovery of the additional creatures helped officials to believe that the species could be saved from extinction--or at least decomposition.
