Do humanoid beings exist?

I'm fully aware that you cannot turn into a mermaid, vampire, etc, etc, but do these things exist? Not only on this plane, but possibly on another plane? Or are they just figments of history that are an old wive's tale?

I personally think they are nothing more than old wives tales and naive misunderstandings about physical things for example werewolves are a misunderstanding of a disease in the middle ages.

There are those who BELIEVE in these things, but belief is nothing without proof- and they do not have that.

Well werewolf's, vampires and many other do not exist but as of recently I`m not too sure about mermaids(or at least creature of similar properties/underwater mammal with a humanoid upper body part).
Reason why I doubt is a little show that was on animal planet(more like 2 hour special) few months back where a pretty realistic video was shown, along with some info from mini-sub black box(or how ever it`s called), either way It`s quite possible that it was just a very good trick so I am open for possibility that it`s fake as well as it being truth(so don`t judge or call fluff).

Either way here so make your own decision.

Vampires do exist ,HOWEVER...they don't resemble the film variety,no...they are consumers of energy and may not know what they are doing , a lot of the time their draining behaviour is done purposely to cause and effect what they want.

They are actual people who give of a vibe which drains you or they will do this by psychologically wearing you out. In Europe there have been instances of blood drinking but there is really no supernatural implication.

I do not believe a physical embodiment of such things, but an astral representation most definitely. Surely Poseidon keeps mermaids and such at his side. And astral creatures have been known to appear briefly on our plane.

Fenriel, I saw that "documentary" too. Sadly, it's a fake...kinda. The producers used the example of mermaids to explore the aquatic ape theory. The theory states that humans have certain adaptations that would (theoretically) allow us to return to the sea and evolve as mermaid-like creatures, much like wolves and killer whales share a common ancester. It was sort of a thought-project into how the world would have been if some humans had taken that evolutionary path. It was really convincing though. The CGI on the merfolk was really good but still just CGI.

Humanoids, and many more exist. Visit some of the other planes and eventually find out for yourself.

I don`t know I`m pretty good when it comes to reading humans, which is a main reason I dislike movie genre such as comedy, romance, drama, because I can see how fake it is and to me it only looks like watching a drawing with a sound track(bad drawings and even worse sound tracks).

And in that documentary I was unable to notice any form of fake emotion that you would see if it was just a show(well at very least on the face of the marine biologist).

But as I already mentioned I`m fully aware that its a good chance of it being fake so I wouldn`t be surprised if it is just a CGI.

Oh and before I forget prune70 what you said are not werewolf's and/or vampires those are energy leaches and are pretty common occurrence and everyone is one in one point of his/her life.

humanoids are quoted as Myth, and myth is not real so, that should mean they aren't real. but as stated above not sure about mermaids
