Mine has a bit of a story behind it, and my favorite real animals are cetaceans while my favorite mythical creature is a Dragon.

Since I was about 5 I have always had an interest in dolphins, but my first fursona was actually a dragon, because when I expressed how much I enjoyed dolphins in high school, I was often called girly or just flat out a girl, so I tried to use a dragon to guise that and present myself as more male, because I am male, but towards the end of high school, I said to hell with it and became a dolphin, but not as a white-beaked starting out, but as an Atlantic white-sided, but transitioning between high school and university, I became a white-beaked dolphin, and as I am graduating university this year, I have been debating changing my species to a hybrid of white-beaked and striped.

So, yes they had some influence, but I chose it for a lot of other reasons beside it being my favorite animal, most included personality characteristics such as curiosity, intelligence, kindness, and etc.

Werewolves and yes. XD

Dragons! Particularly the whiskery kind, so that would be a 100% yes, loved 'em since I can't remember when :P

Have no idea where my characters come from.xD

Sharks and a big yes

Wolves of any kind, and yes.

Dragons influenced all of my personal characters, but a dragon character from a book inspired my character Ven. I actually gave him the same name as said character from said book because... I did haha. That was something around five or six years ago and I don't think I could just up and change it now. :P The book in question was Master of Dragons, written by Margaret Weis.

I still don't quite have a personal character I have a lot of characters, but not one that I feel is really representative of me. I made a journal about that myself not too long ago.

Demons and wolves, yes, my character is both
Cats? Not represented. But my mate's sona is a king cheetah by my suggestion, sooo

Creature(s) :) Pigeons, Felines, and Herpetiles. I've also used my zodiac signs to influence it.

I've finally formed this into two characters:

a pigeon, and an Axoliger (axolotl/tiger mix)

OH without a doubt haha.
Loved dragons as a kid (particularly Spyro and the dragons from Warcraft 2) and this is still very apparent :P

I love lizards and my fursona is based off of an iguana. ^3^ My other characters (which I still have to draw) are based off other animals/creatures/monsters/etc.

Nope, not at all! My original sona was based off a Pokemon but over time evolved into a fluffy dragon thing. I've only within the past couple years grown a deeper fondness for dragons (thanks to Flight Rising) so I'd say it's pretty unrelated. :3 Otherwise I'd probably have some sort of rodent or mustelid species!

For me, favorite creatures are equines. And it's a spiritual relationship. Call them my totem animals if you like. As for "character" I don't really have one in the strict sense. The Unicorn you would call my "character" is not actually a character, it's my representation or projection if you like so it's just me. My personality, my name, and so on, it's not something different from me.

Nope I would say that my favorite creatures were dragons back then, but they have no bearing on my character. Guess I felt like they didn't really represent me very well XD

Well, I love reptiles and dinosaurs.

My main sona is a big ole perentie monitor. So I guess, yeah xD

Toothless made me a dragon :D

I used the look of the Chinese Fu Dogs, or lion guardians. From there, I created a fictional species as ancient as these statues, and even beyond. I have an entire set world, and several other species of animals and humans that live in it as well. All based off the Fu Dogs~
