Good guys:

Dryads
Hamadryads (if you kill the tree, they die too)

Sphinxes, minotaurs,gorgons,winged horses,chimeras,dragons, unicorns, fairies,gnomes,trolls,ogres,wood nymph,witches,basilisks,krakens,sea serpents, sirens, mermaids,cyclops,pegasus,elves,dwarves,dryads,imps, demons, angels and a whole lot more, but I'm running out of room.
I'd describe each one, but it would take up too much space, i can do one at a time on an e-mail or letter.
I'm MYTHOLOGY MAN, I know just about everything about myths, they're fascinating but you don't have to pick me, I'd just like someone to talk to (e-mail pen pal).

Witches in movies and TV are portrayed wrong. There are indeed witches though.
Medusa, unicorns, elves, leprachauns, dragons, mermaids, cyclops and the like are of course not real.
