Dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, griffins, mermaids, krakens, fairies and the winged horse Pegasus have turned up in stories and legends for thousands of years. This personality quiz asks twelve questions about how you live, love and handle a bad day, then matches you with the creature that suits you best.

Each answer nudges you towards two creatures, and the one you match most often becomes your result. There are no wrong answers, so go with your gut. It’s a bit of fun rather than a scientific test.
