Hi All!
I chose Dragon - mainly becasue out of all those listed, the dragon has the most power and is the most intelligent! Apart from being innately magical, all of the listed creatures are animalistic in their intelligence (apart from the merpeople!) - not that there is anything wrong with that though of course!
Dragons (and I'm generally talking dragons from like Dungeons and Dragons style mythology) are immensely powerful and intelliegent and the only ones in that list who can continue to use magic and psionic abilities at the greatest levels! to me, the dragon is the only step "up" there!
hehehehe...
Just my opinion!
