Thread: What mythological creatures haven't shown up in berserk?

What mythological creatures haven't shown of in berserk in some form or another? If we count the games we had Mandragora, this along with whats already appeared in the manga. Trolls, Orge, elves, Kelpie, and elementals. I think it's a given we're going to see more different ones later on. The question I want to ask is this: Which ones do you want to see, and which ones you don't?

I want to see Griffith's association with the Griffin to be made stronger and expanded upon. I think all the references within the manga so far have been well placed historically, so I don't mind what we have seen, but we sure as hell should see no East asian stuff like Daoist or Confucian or Shinto dieties within the manga. That would totally ruin some epic moments within it.

How is Griffith associated with Griffins? Yeah, their names are similar, but I don't recall seeing a single reference to it in the manga.

If you count the disciple, we've seen quite a few different things, like dragons, minotaurs, demons, centaurs, Naga, and probably plenty of others that I can't recall right now.

They're not proper monsters and they aren't named as such, but the forms are definitely close enough.

^If you're looking for a verbal reference, you won't find it. But the cover page of volume 20 or 21 has Griffith (revived) with a griffin in the background: Cover vol 21. Also, the connotation of the griffin's royalty and affinity for birds (the hawk/falcon) are strong features of Griffith's personality. And then there's the similarity in the names....

I tell you, the significance of names in this manga is underestimated.
