Fantasy Mythical Creatures

Are there any Mythical Creatures that are not often seen in Fantasy stories?

I would really prefer not to hear mermaid, vampire, banshee, fairy, werewolf, unicorn, bigfoot, god(dess) or anything that’s popular. I want to know about some creatures (hopefully some that are human in appearance) that are not in every other fantasy story someone could pick up or is too modern to be a real myth.

The following creatures are rarely seen in modern fantasy stories, although they are in some. Nearly all of the following are said to be human shaped or able to take the shape of a human.

Wendigo – not usually in books
Skinwalkers (using the skin of an animal to transform yourself – in few books
Yowie – Australian creature – in some books
The Wild Hunt – in some books
Valkyrie – in few books
The non-typical fey (for example wights, imps, kelpie phooka, etc.)
Ghouls – in very few books
Lamia – in few books
Furies – in few books
Naga – in few books
Yuki-Onna (snow woman) in few books
Yokai
Selkie – are seen in some books

This list is not exhaustive, as there are many more human form mythical species, and even more non-human species.The following website is a good place to start looking and you can then research in other places.
