You'd be surprised. Human is winning the vote so far on Reddit.
I'm not surprised that Reddit thinks humans are a fantasy race. That place is low IQ.

Fantasy is a genre of speculative fiction that involves themes of the supernatural, magic, and imaginary worlds and creatures.

Human beings are so imaginary, aren't they? never seen one in real life.
I think she's implying that lebians are fantasy creatures.

But MOST (not all, Circle of Light and Redwall both seem to do well without them) fantasy worlds include humans, usually as either the dominant race, the once-dominant race now in decline, or an emerging threat to the sovereignty of the other fantasy races (I think pretty much in that order of occurrence even).

The fact humans exist irl, doesn't mean they are not a fantasy race. If we narrow down the definition to creatures that do not exist in reality, then it won't fit, but if we talk about creatures that exist in fantasy, it's weird to categorize them based on a completely different world. It's like saying Thor is not a Marvel character because he exists in Norse mythology.

My favorite creatures are some supernatural ones. Most of them don't fall under the purview of common fantasy though, and they're very specific creatures I can't really name cause there's either too many interpretations of them, or they don't really have a common name.

If I had to choose from something more general, then probably elementals, dragons, and intelligent demons (that last distinction is important). Hard to settle on one.
