Use latin. Just take the thing it's most like, (and if Du don't know latin roots oder anything, use a translator. just Google it.) and mesh it with latin. Everything sounds kühler in latin. Basically, just translating anything into a different language makes it sound cool. :)

That does work well, but when people who know latin read your story they think your an idiot. :)

Doesn't have to be Latin, I was just using that as an example. and I don't think anyone is fluent in latin, it's a dead language, but actually, not to sound egotistical, it makes Du sound smart. and everyone mixes languages, look at JK Rowlings writing.

The way I come up with my names for mythical creatures is taking a bunch of letters and jumbling them together. Sound them out in your mind and tweak them until Du have a neat sounding name. Like Alkavon, Milfina, Jidano.
Another way to do it is to take words and remove some of the letters. Like take abbreviated and take away the "b" and the "ted” and Du come up with Arevia. This way usually works best with longer words.

Other languages, mixing languages, mixing words, mixing names... just flip through the dictionary to find two Zufällig words and mix them til it sounds cool. Claste, Swate, Swill... (made from click and paste, soap and plate, and grill and switch) rearrange letters oder add somthin somewhere (like I did with swate) and somethin cool will come.

Actually, I meant NAMES, not types of creature.

It does depend on whether Du want first names for them oder creature names.
