Best fictional creatures

[BabiesAreLikeBuses]

Please help a teacher stuck in a rut.

I'd like to rename my reading groups, there will be four, preferably after the best fictional creatures. Have trawled a few lists website but am not yet decided or inspired. I'm working with ten year olds so the gruffalo etc are too young to appeal.

Any help much appreciated!

Gollum?

[virgil]

Hippogriff?
Basilisk?

Mr tumnus?

[TheCheeseAlarm]

I used to have Pegasus, Grendel, Dragon, Phoenix, Hydra, and Unicorn as my group names.

[UptoapointLordCopper]

The Jabberwock? The Jubjub bird? The frumious Bandersnatch?

The Vermicious Knid?

A child, according to the unicorn (or something) in Alice in wonderland?

[AMumInScotland]

Centaurs
Puffskeins
Nargles
Unicorns (maybe a bit girly?)

Minotaurs
Gryphons (sp? Looks weird however I spell it...)

[Pozzled]

Daemons. Or Pantelaimon if you're looking for specific names.

[Pozzled]

Or Balrog.

What about a hippogriff from Harry Potter. There must be loads from those books, but I can't think.

Also, mythology would be a good source - eg pegasus

[ThreeBeeOneGee]

psammead

[BigW]

Damn, people got there before me. Pozzled I loved those books so much.

Mr Tumnus
Cheshire Cat

Brilliant i should have asked here first you guys are much quicker than google!

[Periwinkle007]

just don't put any poor spellers on psammead as that would be cruel.

[BabiesAreLikeBuses]

Good point peri it's a lower ability set... Hippogriff should help with consolidating double consonants!!
