If I may be allowed to cheat a little, I’m deeply fond of dragonite and other half-dragons. Dragons in general fascinate me, likely because of their general elusiveness and the fact that they aren’t a very well-understood type. Dragonite comes to mind in particular because of its human-like intelligence. I would be delighted to have a chance to meet one, just to be able to learn how much dragonite can understand.

(Other than that, I suppose I’m a little partial to Ho-oh, but this would be cheating as well, seeing as anyone would offer their utmost respect for the things they worship in the first place.)
