gargoyls!.!.!. some myths say that thay are men who are indestructable and turn to stone by day!. Mermaids (or men) is a good one!. Demons!. They can he humain, deard or alive!. um!. There are come good myths in greek and roman mytholigy that couch down on not quite human things!. Like in greek for example, there are forest pixies who could turn into trees to hide from "excited" goods!. So if you don't get any good answeres try digging into stuff like that!. you'll be surprised at what they belived in!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

minotaurs, sphinx, centaurs, nymphs, dryads, naiads, hamadryads, (last four are human-like physical spirits of natural items!.!.!.these usually appear as women, although men are known too) cherubim, giants, gnomes, leprechauns, merfolk, ogres, elementals (are part of their element with human characteristics and forms ie human but not quite human), banshees (fit both here and in fairy folk), doppelgangers, the Egytian god Anubis had a jackal's or dog's head upon a human body, dwarves, hobbits, wizards (humans with a connection to the magic supernatural part of the world), harpies, hsiaos, huallepen, ichthyocentaurs, Jinn, lamia, mandrake, manticores, naga, nasnas, sirens, fauns, orcs, satyr, werewolves, cyclops, bigfoot, yetis, selkies,

bigfoot/yeti(still up for debate but i consider it mythical)!. Faeries!.!.!. they look like tiny pointy eared humans!. elves!. what about the Titans of greek mythology!. Ogres, trolls!. Goblin!. genies!.dryads!.nymphs!. fauns and leprechauns!.
that's all i can think of sorry if some of them aren't part man enough!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Centaur hasn't been said!. Though none of these already listed aren't necessarily part human, just similar!.

Take the centaurs in Harry Potter!. They find it insulting to be told they have near human intelligence!. They see themselves far beyond human intelligence!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
