Quest for Infamy / Re: Mythical Creatures

The spawn that comes from the mating of a unicorn and a pegasus: either a pega-corn or a uni-sus.

I think that's called an alicorn, actually.

I rather enjoy the fights where the key to victory lies in something other than the fight itself... like the wraiths in Quest for Glory 4 that you had to have a talisman or a spell to approach safely. Having too much of that would obviously be pretty tedious, but there should be one or two fights where you need to do something before you can successfully defeat the opponent. A certain boss in Demon's Souls comes to mind...

As for an actual type of creature, I like the idea of having to fight something that's typically considered benevolent, like a fairy. It would be pretty hard to draw a bead on it, so you'd have to have great aim or speed to make much progress with a weapon, but magic would be handy. It would probably attack with magic as well, since its physical prowess is unlikely to be very impressive... but as a magical creature, it could be surprisingly strong!

Hmmm... I can't remember whether my first PC P&C was King's Quest V, Secret of Monkey Island, or maybe Simon the Sorcerer. However, while typing that sentence, I recalled how early on it was that I played Maniac Mansion on the NES and tried to find every alternate way to handle each puzzle. I think that would have to have been the first by far.
