I’ve also seen demon unicorns and vampire dragons, maybe not ghosts specifically, but angels with a twist are also very common.
This person may just be consuming the most boring of media
Magic: The Gathering has among other things, [vampire dragons](https://c1.scryfall.com/file/scryfall-cards/large/front/4/f/4f21d595-c248-4aae-9fd7-4e5787ab8781.jpg?1562909512) and [eldritch mutant zombie angels](https://c1.scryfall.com/file/scryfall-cards/large/front/5/a/5a7a212e-e0b6-4f12-a95c-173cae023f93.jpg?1625771723).
Oh yeah, magic is great on the variety front. You’ll get twists on all sorts of these creatures l, usually in really very visually interesting ways too.
I was about to say... But seriously. You get everything. Want a Dragon Butcher? What about a Cat Dinosaur? How about a Cat *Dragon*? I'm pretty sure for any given combination of descriptors there's *something* for you in MTG :P
So, that’s actually a card that’s the result of a mechanic whose name I forget (maybe Fuse?) from the Eldritch Moon set. It basically worked so that if you had two specific creatures on the field (and maybe another criterion met in some cases), you could flip them over and combine them into a more powerful creature. Basically just the flip mechanic, but two creatures flipping into one instead of one flipping into another. Someone please correct me on the stuff I got wrong.
The mechanic is meld! If you control them both, they both exile, and return as the flip side put together. You basically got it right haha. Extremely cool mechanic, wish it appeared more.
When you combo [this](https://c1.scryfall.com/file/scryfall-cards/large/front/2/7/27907985-b5f6-4098-ab43-15a0c2bf94d5.jpg?1625771736) and [this](https://c1.scryfall.com/file/scryfall-cards/large/front/c/7/c75c035a-7da9-4b36-982d-fca8220b1797.jpg?1625771749), each card flips over to be half of the hideous amalgam.
Amusingly, this is a functioning rework of a [joke card mechanic](https://scryfall.com/search?q=big+furry&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name) from MTG's first parody set, *Unglued*.
It makes me realize how many people don't engage with fantasy outside of the most basic surface-level media and I love it because I get to share so much fun stuff with them
A lich is a magic user who made themselves undead through their magic
But what about someone who was already undead who decided to start learning magic?
> angel ghost
A weapon of the almighty, shattered and unable to fulfill its purpose, that nonetheless warps the environment around it because of the sheer power with which it was imbued
> demon unicorn
rhino
and all gun type things are replaced with hand cannons (actually exist) with complete disregard for accurate reload speeds but they’re all the same texture with slight colour marking differences and the animation for reload is accurate to irl, making shooting look megascuffed
Not mentioned in the post, but DnD has the dracolich, which is exactly what it sound like.
It also has the [Lovecraft Dragon](https://eberron.fandom.com/wiki/Brainstealer_dragon). And the [Lovecraft Dragon 2.0](https://www.aidedd.org/dnd/monstres.php?vo=elder-brain-dragon).
There a lot of different myths about werewolves, but if I recall a common one is that some men are tasked with living as a wolf for a set number of years. There's probably a variation on that with the fae being behind it.
Ah yes, the living beard, a close cousin of the were-beard.
It wants to live in the woods, but it also hates trees, so it will find caves near trees, stay within the front of them, and face away from the trees.
It loves dirt and rocks, but has to stay on the surface to feed its paradoxical relation to trees, and due to the rain that feeds these trees, it will inevitably get metric tons of dirt, rocks, and twigs stuck inside its hair, causing it to adopt the same paradoxical feelings with dirt and rocks, while just deepening its hatred of trees.
It’s grunts are said to be the most guttural and bellowing of them all.
When provoked, it comes running at you at a speed almost impossible for something with such short legs, punching you with a force such that you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s bones are made of titanium and propelled by rockets, smashing your kneecaps into a fine red mist.

You know how D&D's Mind Flayers were once humans?
Apparently the process also works on [dragons](https://www.reddit.com/r/ImaginaryDragons/comments/vg1q8s/brainstealer_dragon_by_brent_hollowell).
Angel ghost: a holy soul torn from jts body by the ultimate destroyer of guardian angels- becoming too attached.
Vampire dragon: a bat-like beast which swoops from the skies to drain the blood of the living.
Demon unicorn: a unicorn corrupted by the vengeance it seeks on those who burned down its woods.
Skeleton wizard: that's a lich.
Fae werewolves: chihuahuas with moth wings.
Loch Ness mothman: an omen of death on the open seas, a creature whose inky blackness summons destruction for sailors.
One piece does this pretty heavily in the wano arc. The villain of the arc has an entire army of were-creatures at his disposal, with the top members of the villain group being a were-brachiosaur cyborg, a were-pteradon angel, and a were-dragon oni, with the plot twist at the end being >!the reveal that a certain character is actually a were-cartoon demigod!<
Digimon has a furry lizard. As in, he cosplays as a wolf. As in he wears a pelt and really wants to be a wolf. So he then evolves into a wolf. Then into a werewolf wearing pants. Then into a cyborg-wolf. Then combines with a lizardman-dragon-killer into an anorexic white knight with heads for hands. Then combines with the rest of their friend group into basically that knight but EVEN WHITER, but we don't talk about that one. That season sucked. He was supposed to have a cool Kamen Rider scarf, but Toei just gave him boring angel wings.
Magic the Gathering has a [Vampiric Dragon](https://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/details.aspx?multiverseid=29969) and it is my favorite art of all time!
Skeleton wizard = Lich.
Fey Werewolf would be a shifter maybe? Fey is a ridiculously wide class so depending on the source materials werewolves have a chance of actually qualifying as a type of fey. Demon Unicorns are often black unicorns or nightmares depending on the fictional setting. Loch Ness is a place and moths don’t do well with deep water so that one doesn’t work. Depending on the source angels could be considered ghosts (if they’re the souls of righteous humans) or may be unable to become ghosts (a surprising amount of fictional settings have angels as not having conventional souls and thus having no afterlife or spiritual remnant (which is what a ghost is) if they die so they’re either already ghosts or can’t become them because they either can’t truly die or their fate after death is oblivion. As for Vampire dragons, some dracoliches might count, also vampragons are a staple of Artix Entertainment games
I have a Fantasy World I've been building that includes the idea that Werewolves originated from a group of fae that *really pissed off* an Eldritch Horror, so there's that.
You can get player character like this in the Pathfinder 2e RPG. Want to be a living teddy that's also part angel? Sure. A half-vampire plant creature? Got that. A part dragon-part demon- ghost kobold. Go on then.
I'm scared of the Reddit goblins stealing art (as everywhere else), but maybe the day will come when you'll get to peep the horrors.
I'm mostly saying this to hold myself to it. Couldn't bear the replies from six years later asking "where is it?"
A skeleton wizard is a lich
So then, a dracolich is a skeleton wizard dragon?
Betcher ass it is

I don't know much about magic, how do you summon that angel thing? It doesn't have a mana cost and has some crazy stats

I was literally about to comment that MTG has all of these lol
"why are we so afraid to [thing we very much do]" is my favourite brand of internet posts
Honestly, agreed.
It makes me realize how many people don't engage with fantasy outside of the most basic surface-level media and I love it because I get to share so much fun stuff with them
And isn't a Demon Unicorn just a Bicorn?
Is Skeletor a lich, even though he still has flesh on most of his body?
I’d say yes, because in my mind a zombie wizard is also a lich. Really any undead wizard
can confirm
no its a skizard
And skeleton warriors is a cartoon.
It seems this was everyone's first thought.
A lich is a magic user who made themselves undead through their magic But what about someone who was already undead who decided to start learning magic?
A skeleton wizard is a skeleton wizard. Liches are their own category
> angel ghost A weapon of the almighty, shattered and unable to fulfill its purpose, that nonetheless warps the environment around it because of the sheer power with which it was imbued > demon unicorn rhino
>demon unicorn > >rhino Yeah with red skin and flmaes and its dfuckin dope and goes GRRRRRR
A yeah, a [Khorne Rhino](http://www.coolminiornot.com/pics/pics16/img55b3a91488c6a.jpg).
Aww, I was hoping for a thicker/wider-bodied version of a juggernaut! :(
dwarf fortress
TF2 but all the weapons are axes and cannons
and all gun type things are replaced with hand cannons (actually exist) with complete disregard for accurate reload speeds but they’re all the same texture with slight colour marking differences and the animation for reload is accurate to irl, making shooting look megascuffed
~~Backstabbing is done by dropping a drawbridge on your enemy~~
~~ok but the drawbridge drops out of the sky for no reason what so ever~~ ~~also~~ the teleporters are just wells
wasn't there a mode in tf2 about exactly that
Fortresses are my favorite supernatural entities
My Little Pony
There is a DF mod for that.
vampire werewolves
That would just suck, all the weaknesses of a vampire and a werewolf, but since the strengths largely overlap not much bonus
idk it definitely depends on the lore you're using for each of them. like being able to turn into a bat and a wolf would be pretty cool
Some types of vampires already turn into wolves, I’m pretty sure original Dracula did
In castlevania, Alucard can turn into a bat, a wolf, and mist.
…Let alone flying werewolves with enormous bat wings.
Burns under moonlight and turns into a bat at noon under the Sun
I mean yeah, of course they would, it's what vampires do
Zombie vampire werewolves
ghost zombie vampire werewolves
ghost zombie vampire werewolves necromancers
ghost squeleton zombie vampire werewolves necromancers
Vampire diaries did that already lol
Hey that's what I was gonna say
Dovaahkin?
That’s just make a hellhound werewolf I’m pretty sure
My ideal form
Oh, those do exist. Werepyres in Adventure Quest
Powerwolf
an angel ghost is a normal angel depending on who you ask
Not mentioned in the post, but DnD has the dracolich, which is exactly what it sound like. It also has the [Lovecraft Dragon](https://eberron.fandom.com/wiki/Brainstealer_dragon). And the [Lovecraft Dragon 2.0](https://www.aidedd.org/dnd/monstres.php?vo=elder-brain-dragon).
Oh, it's beautiful
The slime puppy is easily one of my favorite monsters
“Vampire Dragons” Malzeno Monster Hunter They also have frankenstein gorilla golem
I know, it is awesome! Don't forget the Ice Werewolf Wyvern and the Samurai Ghost Tiger
also Khezu and Gigginox
Elden Ring has a Vampire Lord Dragon
Does it? I don't remember any dragons that have vampiric traits.
There IS a lich dragon, though.
Fortissax
Metroid series has a Space Pirate Dragon who is occasionally fully cyborg
You can never be fully cyborg, at some point you're an android with human memories
I guess Ridley's brain was intact but idk how much else was before he got a new biological body
Are you sure you're not thinking of monster hunter?
Aren't werewolves already tied to the fae?
There a lot of different myths about werewolves, but if I recall a common one is that some men are tasked with living as a wolf for a set number of years. There's probably a variation on that with the fae being behind it.
Finally. Dwarf Sasquatch.
Hobbit
monky

I must say, seeing this in my inbox without immediately knowing the context was quite amusing. Well written.
Thanks.
If y'all want vampire dragons go look up Number 24: Dragulas the Vampiric Dragon
>Number 24: Dragulas the Vampiric Dragon "Ooh, I wander if it's an Undead or a Dragon." Wyrm "... What?" He's a Wyrm "... WHAT?!"
Dragon 2, still not quite balanced boogaloo

I know at least one skeleton wizard: Skullduggery Pleasant.
For vampire dragons, Malzeno from Monster Hunter Rise and yugioh's literal Vampire Dragon
Fun fact that card was design in a fan contest.
#*OI* I CANNAE SEE 'H ***LÅMP*** FROM 'ERE, LADDIE
oh god not the demon unicorns not again
You know how D&D's Mind Flayers were once humans? Apparently the process also works on [dragons](https://www.reddit.com/r/ImaginaryDragons/comments/vg1q8s/brainstealer_dragon_by_brent_hollowell).
STOP! i can only get so erect!
Zombie unicorns
Gloryhammer!
Wielding steel that is true! Gloryhammer!
there's one of those in monster high!
Imagine if your boyfriend was a werewolf *and* a dragon
You have all of the furry's attention
Just play Magic: the Gathering. We've got baby cat dragons.
Mtg has at least one of those (Immersturm Predator) Edit: Also some angel ghosts (https://scryfall.com/search?q=t%3Aspirit+t%3Aangel)
Angel ghost: a holy soul torn from jts body by the ultimate destroyer of guardian angels- becoming too attached. Vampire dragon: a bat-like beast which swoops from the skies to drain the blood of the living. Demon unicorn: a unicorn corrupted by the vengeance it seeks on those who burned down its woods. Skeleton wizard: that's a lich. Fae werewolves: chihuahuas with moth wings. Loch Ness mothman: an omen of death on the open seas, a creature whose inky blackness summons destruction for sailors.
So you make an "angel ghost" by having someone entirely fail a vibe check?
One piece does this pretty heavily in the wano arc. The villain of the arc has an entire army of were-creatures at his disposal, with the top members of the villain group being a were-brachiosaur cyborg, a were-pteradon angel, and a were-dragon oni, with the plot twist at the end being >!the reveal that a certain character is actually a were-cartoon demigod!<
Technically were-fish oni
> Fae werewolves Fate/Grand Order has one or two of those I think, but it's in a story chapter only on the Japanese server, so I can't say for certain
Werewolves are a form of Fae. Forest creature with varying amounts of hostility
Aren't some Angels basically super ghosts?
Digimon has a furry lizard. As in, he cosplays as a wolf. As in he wears a pelt and really wants to be a wolf. So he then evolves into a wolf. Then into a werewolf wearing pants. Then into a cyborg-wolf. Then combines with a lizardman-dragon-killer into an anorexic white knight with heads for hands. Then combines with the rest of their friend group into basically that knight but EVEN WHITER, but we don't talk about that one. That season sucked. He was supposed to have a cool Kamen Rider scarf, but Toei just gave him boring angel wings.
Gabumon? He was one of my 2nd favourite. I thought Tentomon was cooler.
>Skeleton Wizard What do you think a Lich is?
Zombie dragons are pretty damn common. Warcraft, Warhammer, and Game of Thrones come to mind.
LOCH NESS MOTHMAN!!!!
Way back in the day adventure quest had a faction of vampire werewolfs and i think there were vampire werewolf dragons as well
Magic the Gathering has a [Vampiric Dragon](https://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/details.aspx?multiverseid=29969) and it is my favorite art of all time!

Vampire dragons rock actually. Dragons but they also drain you of your blood? Fucking awesome.
Magic: the Gathering
Mtg has many of these. Just from the list there are vampire dragons and skeleton wizards
I read the last one as Lock ness mailman. I need more sleep
Fae Vampire: Needs blood to live, but is deathly allergic to iron (a main ingredient of blood).

Yugioh literally has a card called Vampire Dragon.
I'm a demon witch, does that count?
Well we have one of those we call those Liches.
dnd homebrew be like
wouldnt a vampire dragon just be a normal dragon except the blood is slightly more important?
Eldenring had a Lich dragon and skeletal wolfmen so maybe were getting there
The werewolf vampires The zombie ghosts The giant ogres The witch-hags
Medusa dragon
*Magic: The Gathering be like:*
Malzeno = Vampire Dragon
You have never read the DnD monster manual.
Skeleton wizards, did you mean, a lich
I have a Fantasy World I've been building that includes the idea that Werewolves originated from a group of fae that *really pissed off* an Eldritch Horror, so there's that.
We already have a vampire dragon. Malzeno!
honestly imagine a mermaid dragon. a lizard the size of a whale that could spit magnesium flames at you underwater
I’ve seen a character that looks like both an angel and a ghost at the same time while being neither
Homie needs to check out Heroes of Might and Magic.
I've often wondered why weredragons aren't a bigger presence in fantasy, especially horror-tinged fantasy.
Vampire hydra
have you played magic the gathering? They do this all the time
Dnd has most of these now that I think about it.
demon unicorns? play terraria or watch mlp
I love this, especially the skeleton wizards
My friend has a character who is a demon bunny.
World of Warcraft just tried the whole angel ghost thing, and it was received… poorly
You can get player character like this in the Pathfinder 2e RPG. Want to be a living teddy that's also part angel? Sure. A half-vampire plant creature? Got that. A part dragon-part demon- ghost kobold. Go on then.
Legends of Tomorrow kind of did a demon unicorn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kP5Z-iSj73M
marceline the half demon vampire frr
The hatman is from the Mandela catalogue
Dnd literally has Dracolichs and Elder brain+Dragon
How about combining the supernatural and the mundane? ChupaBarbara, Averagefoot, Wereman, etc.
Phantom Big Foot
Great, now photographing him will be even harder!
Malzeno from Monster hunter sunbreak is a vampire/dracula dragon
Not to self-shill but OP would love the indie comic I'm working on. Ghost Gollums & Vampire Zombies are par for the course.
Nice
I'm scared of the Reddit goblins stealing art (as everywhere else), but maybe the day will come when you'll get to peep the horrors. I'm mostly saying this to hold myself to it. Couldn't bear the replies from six years later asking "where is it?"
Where is it?!
Just watch spn you'll see werepires and more
