Oh boy. I have a feeling I’m about to break a bunch of rules with this this week’s Top 5 Tuesday. Or at least spark a few debates about what qualifies a creature as magical. Or something as a creature. Or the purest example of ‘a waste of time.’
Anyway… MAGICAL CREATURES!
Fawkes —Harry Potter
Let’s be honest. Most of us could probably fill out this whole like with creatures from the Harry Potter series. That’s why I restricted myself to choose ONE creature from any book/series. It was tough, but I had to choose Fawkes. And is it just me or are there a lot of similarities between Harry and Fawkes. Always there when needed, usually providing the key to defeating the enemy, rising from the dead. Just saying.
Anouk — Grim Lovelies
The mouse turned person, turned slave, turned rebel, turned BAD ASS!
Black Rock Witch – HEX
Maybe my most debatable choice… She certainly was a person at one point. But she’s hundreds of years old. Seemingly disappears and appears at will. Magic? Check. Creature? *shrug*
The Six-Armed Warrior – Godsgrave
This choice probably comes from how recently I finished reading this book, and how in love I am with everything connected to it. But that six-armed warrior was a total bad ass. Made me think of Mortal Kombat! And yes, I have completely forgotten its real name. Six-armed warrior will have to do.
Domovoy — The Bear and the Nightingale
Okay. I want some of these for my own house. I have absolutely no problem leaving bread and milk out if it gets things around the house taken care of. If I do that now, the only things that show up are ants!
How amazing was Grim Lovelies?! I am so keen for Midnight Beauties!!!!
I loved it. I haven’t heard a lot love otherwise, except for you. We might be the only two…
Well that’s kind of sad (but we’re great anyway). It deserves a lot more hype than it got!!
Of course we chose Harry! I think that book had all the magical creatures we could think of LOL But that Grim Lovelies seems intriguing!
I LOVE that Domovoy made it to your list! I was so close to adding it to mine but I moved it for Dobby. Fair trade I think. I loved the Domovoy – more so in book 3….. book 3 is just soooooo good!
How could you choose the 6 armed warrior over Mr. Kindly?!?!?! haha ok they are both awesome and idk if Mr. Kindly is actually magical? Great choices!
You raise an excellent point. Mr. Kindly was probably the way to go, but honestly, he didn’t even occur to me. I’m not sure why. Maybe I consider him more person than creature?
