I'm writing something with supernatural themes all over it and I'm sadly lacking in monsters and creatures. All I know are vampires, werewolves, incubi, goblins, dwarves, fairies and Greek Mythology creatures. I'm making some stuff up but it would really be helpful to have real monsters. What I need are real occult monsters, you know? I'd be forever grateful if you could tell me a few with characteristics or provide links where I can find some info.

Baskil-from harry potter but means something a little differnt
Chrimera-half and half creature that is really cool
Mantcore- Half man half lion that eats people
Unicorns, Memaids, Zombies, Red Haring or Red Hat (he eats people), Um, that's all I can think of right now.

look for Edian McCoy's book
Witches Guide to the Fey Folk.
i would not recomend this for a practicioner of any magickal religion, but if you are just looking for creative monsters many of the dark Fey described have great potential for a horror book.
the scariest things on this planet however are humans.

Have a look at demonology, that'll curl your hair. Just don't summon the guys.
Astaroth, Belial, etc. Check out http://demons.monstrous.com/demons_seals.htm.
