Pixies!
I have somewhat of a soft spot for the small, flying fey.
Sewer Snoids
They're creepy little men in crew cuts and bow ties who live in the sewers and seem to be stuck in the 1950s; as seen in the comics of R. Crumb.
Okay, not really. I wouldn't let those perverted snoids anywhere near your characters.
I'd say mermaids because I am one, but unless your story's set near the water they're kind of a logistical problem. My second favorite is fairies, especially when their tuff little winged goth chicks with plenty attitude...

(Although the hermaphrodite centaurs from John Varley's TITAN series might be interesting...
What borders on stupidity?
Canada and Mexico.

Mermaids
I also have mermaids as my first choice and fairies as my second.
Dragons
Dragons is always getting a bad rap many are kind helpful beasts just powerful and like long naps. Have a good day and enjoy life.

I like the idea
Of the fae, but please not disney style. As a worshipper of the Goddess of the Fae Danu, it's saddening that the Fae are always depicted so silly like when The Good Neighbors are extremely mischievous even deadly if you mess up deals with them.
I know who I am, I am me, and I like me ^^
Transgender, Gamer, Little, Princess, Therian and proud :D
I prefer
Airmid myself, or Dian Cecht or Ecne, but Danu's a nice one as well. At least you didn't choose Donn or Balor. Do you enjoy being a Tuatha de Danann? Must be pretty damn cool...

OH sorry
I misunderstood your comment, I'm not a fae, but I feel very connected to them.

Mr Tumnus
There's not enough Fauns out there, though as you mentioned mermaids.
I have to ask if the is such a creature as a 'Sea Unicorn' ?
There is now!
Seahorses with narwhale horns sticking out of their forehead, big enough to ride.
Cool image; somebody oughtta use that...

Dottie, a silly suggestion.....
Puppymonkeybabies! Giggles!

I like
Babelfish. Especially after they've had a few too many Pan-Galactic Gargleblasters!!!
Or maybe have them meet up with Arthur Dent, Zaphod Beeblebrox, and Ford Prefect...
All 42 of them. LOL.
(Anyone else getting the Hitchhiker's references here?)

Yep keep running into it in codes and encryptions as extra layers for hidden meanings. Have a good day and enjoy life.

Since they are mythical creatures now
How about animal spirits similar to the ones Kayda encounters in the Whateley series?
(edit) Or how about they go on a quest and meet many different types of mythical beings in different realms?
Wood nymphs
Elves, with a passion. Unicorns and wood nymphs sound right.. The nymphs can ride on the girls' backs.
Karen
I think the fey might
have possibilities. Both male and female in many sizes including giants. Some do NOT have a sense of humor while others would make Robin Williams look staight laced.
An idea!
All the suggestions so far are excellent and I especially like the fey ideas. Here are some of my ideas.
1. Griffins or the flying horses like Pegasus. Either or both could be on the side of good with no rule breaking of their species, even when being playful. Mythological creatures just wanna have fun when they can, so I can see them pulling harmless pranks.
2. Pixies that are taller, closer to human height much like the Elves of LOTR, but always playful and prankish, even when aiding others around them who are quite serious at the time.
3. I have always thought Unicorns as serious and wise, but playful when the opportunity presents itself. However you perceive Unicorns, the new creatures should be the exact opposite in temperate and playfulness of the Unicorns, but on the side of good.
4. Imps, like Morpheus's Fabulous Imp, with a heavy dose of mischief! Your mischievous Imps would be mythological though, and not mutants.
5. Read Robert Asprins' "MYTH" series. There are plenty of ideas for creatures and mayhem in them and full of Puns! Just what you need for the Unicorn 'silliness.'
Don't let someone else talk you out of your dreams. How can we have dreams come true, if we have no dreams?

Don't wish to cause arguments
But didn't Griffins have the head of an eagle, with the talons at the front and the body of a lion, and the eagles wings?
Chimera
Griffins are just one form any animal built of multiple parts of other animals is a chimera. So possibilities are endless. Have a good day and enjoy life.
