If you where to be turned into a monster / supernatural being which would you chose?

Mermaid

Well I was already a Banshee once for Halloween. And I have a deep water phobia so mermaid is out of the question. Nymph is my obvious choice being obsessed with ancient Greek beliefs. They weren't immortal but lived an inordinately long time. I'd be one of Artemis' nymphs. She was one of the virgin Goddesses, of the hunt, moon, adolescent girls and childbirth. I'd have to be careful because she was a bit vicious. When Zeus raped Callisto Artemis changed her into a bear.

Well, I'm already a warlock at times, and fantasize about being a mermaid, so I'll go with the latter. A gargoyle would be good too, if it really has to be monstrous.

Nymph

Warlock I guess.

Chimera

I'm not a fan of Dragons and fairy tales, so I'll pass on this.

Well on the list I would have to go with Warlock since I could cast spells and delve into dark forbidden tomes and lore and spells... And nuke a bunch of people on my ever growing list... LOL

Back when I was a kid, I used to lay out on the lawn at night and hope a vampire would bite me and make me a Vampire, although a Werewolf would have been ok, but Vamps were cooler. I had a list of those I was going to bite once I was a vampire...

Warlock, its female counterpart. I get to do magic and keep my current form.

Succubus

Of those mentioned, a mermaid. But I'd like to be a vampire more.

I would rather be turned into a mermaid and I could cause quite a stir around this town
and people would be scared of me he he, a mermaid in K Town

Warlock, I guess

never really thought about it

Something that can time travel. The incarnation of Satan. Highland, so I can live forever. And ninja that has the power to have all the powers I want. Etc etc. What kind of powers does a warlock get?

...Like Gandalf or Dumbledore, although warlocks are a bit different than sorcerors. Warlocks are like male witches, and so spells, curses, potions, and summoning demons are more their official thing than the new-age semi-deities (sorcerors) that have their own powers in the cosmos rather than channel spirits to do things.

Warlock...

I suppose that if someone were to transform me into a vampire, it wouldn't require much alteration of my lifestyle. I wonder if anyone would even notice...

That's pretty cool actually.

Often seen hanging about at four o'clock in the morning sucking necks are you?

The neck sucking has been on hold for a little while.

I'd need more details about what each of these is.

I thought your profession would be neighbored by people taking an interest in mythology. Except for a banshee, I thought every american teenager was familiar with these. Granted, a talking animal might be anything from a talking dolphin to a talking rhinocerous, but I imagine the choice is up to us.

Now choose and sign the contract.

With the exception of nymphs, perhaps, these kinds of creatures are more common in European mythology, which is far enough removed from my discipline that I don't hear much about it. What I know of most of these figures is from myth and fiction I've read in a non-academic setting, and I've read enough to know that there are many different types of some of these critters. Are we talking about a Tolkienian elf, or a Keebler elf? And even with nymphs, can I be any kind of nymph, or is there a specific type?

"What is the weight of a swallow?" "What kind of swallow? An African swallow or an European swallow?" {King Arthur in Monty Python's 'Jabberwocky'}

Yes, there are water and wood nymphs. I suppose one might favor becoming a Tolkien elf and opposed to becoming a shoe-maker elf.

Exactly.

Mermaid.

I would so turn into a mermaid. I love the sea and to live in it would be so cool!

Of these, mermaid. I'd like to be actually able to swim.

I love to swim with the fishes.
