@German_Boats

Can someone give me some creatures of light? Not like fairy's or Dryads, those can sometimes be evil. Like, actual creatures of pure light and goodness.

@Minette

I'm not sure what mythology you're going for, so forgive the diversity. Some of these are debatable, but I'm picking ones that are generally known to be good or serve a purpose:
Qilins/Kirins
Unicorns
Phoenixes
Sprites
Guardians
Caladrius
Valkyries
Daimons
Enfield
Mishipeshu
Totem spirits(?)

I can't think of many creatures that are innately pure and good, a lot of mythology centers around stories of specific people/creatures doing good things. Besides that, there are lots of gods and goddesses dedicated to goodness, but I didn't think they'd count.

@MarvAlice

Eastern Dragons, Angels, Pheonix, it really depends on the lore of your world, and what it means to be Good in your world though.

@Duely

Unicorns can also be seen as instead of 'only accepting virgins' as more of 'HOW DARE YOU NOT BE A VIRGIN'

Phoenix's are a safe bet

(The idea of prudish unicorns pretty much made my morning.)

Typically Phoenix's could be considered "good", though it depends on how you define good itself. Phoenix's are typically associated with the fact that they can be reborn.

@Lord_Dunconius

Pure light makes me think of angels, though they're more Lawful Neutral than Lawful Good.
There aren't really any 'good' creatures. Nothing is hot-wired to be good.
