Manananggal - a Filipino cryptid that can separate the upper and lower halves of its body.
One that I think Seanan McGuire invented: Wadjet. Or possibly Nadjet; I don't have the book handy and could be remembering wrong. A sexually dimorphous species. Males are extremely territorial giant poisonous snakes; females cam pass as humans. Betrothed couples must spend considerable time together while growing up so the girl can develop an immunity to her fiance's poison. The males communicate telepathically with their wives the females can speak.
Chimera
Not my favorite, but fairly memorable - chupacabra
