I voted for H2 because it is definitely the most ghastly looking. It really exempliefies a lost, wailing soul, doomed to roam this eternal plane for all eternity. You can really see it in her hair and eyes.

H1 looks like my ex-girlfriend, only fatter.

H3(non WoG) looks like the first halloween costume I ever wore...and it sucked.

H4 is slighty more attractive than my ex-girlfriend.

H5 is not even a ghost. Starting from the un-upgraded, it looks a group of people went to the forest to go hunting, but then accidently got bear traps and such stuck on their heads. Then it seems they somehow got exposed to a lot of radiation and now glow like aliens from space. :disagree:

Let me guess, there was a strong gush of wind and you haven't seen her since.

Wind? All it took was a sneeze and she blew herself away. Good riddance, I say.

I went H5 Spector. I just found them to be the most menacing, and I wasn't too fond of the early ones.

Lets just say it usually involved hungry animals of some kind and leave it at that for the 'birdcage'. Sort of a history of ...torment buff and know all the nasty little things used..won't explain why.. Anyhow I think that banshee's should be female (if used) but ghosts should be both.

Why?Just because they are traditionally females doesnt mean they should always be like that.Look at medusas.Traditionally its a single creature,not a whole race of them.Personally,I like banshees sexless.(and bodyless,but thats obvious :D )

Banshee - Undead Elven Females...call me old fashion...just sort of think that um they should be what they were described as? Now poltergeist, ect they can be whatever. But Banshee should indeed be female..or at least imnho :)

No, Medusa is actualy a personal name, and a woman's one. And Banshee's have always been female ghosts that wail alot.

Yeah he is thinking Gorgon (there were 3 and Medusa was 'special' hehe). From what I remember (and it has been awhile) Medusa was like the leader of the three and had abilities the other two did not. Again it has been a LOOOONG time so I may be mistaken.

Yeah, Medusa was the only one that did the nasty with Poseidon in the wrong temple.

But she wasn't really the leader, she was actualy the only mortal one.
The Banshee (IPA: [ˈbænʃiː]) is a creature in Irish mythology and known as Bean Nighe in Scottish mythology, the word being derived from the Old Irish ben síde, modern Irish bean sídhe or bean sí, "fairy woman" (bean, woman, and sidhe, being the tuiseal ginideach or possessive case of "fairy"). The sídh are derived from pre-Christian Gaelic deities.

True, but the change is only in quantity, not other characteristics. Banshee's are supposed to be female spirits/fairies. Let's not make them into a giant skreeching insect just yet.

Voted for H5 Spectre: Besides they may look like the undead king from lotr they makes such creepy noises, hard to hit and looks cool transparent white with green eyes. The rest of them especially the ghostly lady from H2 reminds me of granma. And WHY in the widest do you guys almost always use outdated H5 pics of creatures??? Is it so much to demand or is it to hinder H5 creatures getting less votes because of their ugly past? Im curious :devious:

Now heres how they looks like today, so would you mind replace those oozy green gas freaks? :ill:
