Answer 1

Go to the site below.

http://www.pantheon.org/areas/bestiary/articles.html

It is from the encyclopedia mythica. It has a lot of Greek and Roman but it does have others.

Also

http://www.lizaphoenix.com/encyclopedia/

Only some of them are links but it could be a great jumping point for others.

As always just reading works as well. There are a ton of books and just getting decent books of mythology and folklore and reading them is the best research.

Myabe also look up cryptozoology and just imaginary beasts.

Good luck.

Holy crap, I know a lot...it would take forever to list them all for you. I recommend checking out these books:

Giants, Monsters, & Dragons by Carol Rose
Spirits, Fairies, Leprechauns, & Goblins by Carol Rose
Magickal Mystical Creatures by D.J. Conway
Magickal Mermaids & Water Creatures by D.J. Conway
Faeries by Brian Froud
Gnomes by Rien Poortvliet
The Book of the Unicorn by Nigel Suckling

Answer 3

Your question is flawed in that all supernatural creatures are based in some mythology--if not Greek or Egyptian, than another. Sprites/leprechauns/brownies and other fairies come from the Celts. Giants, trolls, and dragons from Norse. Even the traditional image of the devil is basically a Greek satyr painted red.

Answer 4

Hey I live on the Isle Of Man.
Most of our myths and folklore are all about faries. We even have a bridge named after the little people. Look up Isle Of Man Folklore on Google and you'll find all sorts of stuff!!
Good Luck!!

Well, there's unicorns, griffins, and dragons. After that, I'd have to go into Greek mythology.
