What seldom-seen creatures or other beings, would you like to see featured in fantasy, horror, or science fiction stories?

E.g., I think the only story I’ve seen featuring a succubus, was an episode of Charmed or Koljerk: The Night Stalker.

What types of beings or characters do you think are played out?

Although I still enjoy stories featuring them if they have a compelling twist or shocking portrayal, I’ve seen enough vampire tales to last me for quite awhile.
The exception for me, was the astoundingly gruesome dirt-napper in Stevie King’s “Night Flyer”.

Dragons were prominent in Harry Potter, The Hobbit, Game Of Thrones, The Witcher, etc. Very exciting to see, but at this point we aren’t seeing anything new.

I want really good if not great vampire movies twice a year. Same as werewolves. Has not happened yet since I started getting hooked on movies in the 80s.

More manticores, please. Not enough sphynxes or hydras.

Actually, what I’d really like, are more thoughtful and interestingly written and choreographed fantasy/horror/SF fiction. Too much of it tends to be so thoughtless and uninspired, that this question mainly made me think of not wanting more disappointing fiction.

The Ii. (Pronounced “eye-eye.) It is said that if you possess the middle finger of the Ii, you possess strange magical powers. If you take the middle finger from a live animal, OH MAN! Do you possess some strange magical powers!!!
