Gargoyle:

One extensive collection of modern gargoyles can be found at Washington National Cathedral in Washington, DC. The cathedral, begun in 1908, is encrusted with the limestone demons. This collection also includes Darth Vader, a crooked politician, robots and many other modern spins on the ancient tradition.

Gargoyles. I have a couple of them. Nice little dudes.

Your description won it for Nessie

Marshall believes that Nessie is not a monster, but a delicate creature.

Gargoyle because it has wings and is dark and all.

And because I once made a Spore (demo) creature that ended up looking like a gargoyle:

One of the most believable monsters so far, said to be related to the long extinct dinosaur the Plesiosaur.

Two many water monsters are winning here.

Let's hear it for gargoyles!

Now this is an even matchup. In common experience, the Gargoyle and Nessie are both very aloof creatures. One escapes to roofs for peace, the other hides underwater.

I guess the Gargoyle gets my vote, since at least he makes himself seen.

If this stays tied, there will have to be posts to sway my choice on who to let through.
You might want to prepare.

Fear not mortal bitches, I have broken the tie with "my balls of steel and shaft of fire" (and I quote Earl).

Plesiosaur isn't a dinosaur, Ric.

Then what? prey tell, is a creature that was alive millions of years ago at the same time as dinosaurs and even has the name 'osaur' in its name? If it is not a dinosuar??? It's not a duck is it

Dinosaurs walked the land.
Plesiosaurs swam the seas.
Pterosaurs flew the skies.

All 3 are extinct reptiles.

And this is a duck-o-saur:
