According to urban legend it was a toss up between Advance Australa Fair and Waltzig Matilda, until it was decided that you reeeaaaalllyy shouldn't have a national anthem that involves sheep theft. 

Well, if I'm right about Germany's anthem, one of the lines translates to "German women, German beer"...

[Darkness Ascendant he/him]

9. O Canada

10. Lebanese National Anthem, no really, that's what it's called

I looked up the german one, it's actually lied der deutschen. @Sunbird

 

WLIU name 5 xbox exclusive games (shouldn't be too hard, seeing as I know a bunch, and I don't even own an xbox)

[Straw he/him]

1. Halo 5

2. Halo 4

3. Halo 3

4. Titanfall 

5. Tomb Raider

WLIU. Name 10 fantasy characters whose names start with L.

[Magestar he/him]

Liandrin, (WoT)

Lan (WoT)

Lews Therin (WoT again!)

Logain (WoT. )

Luke, (Star Wars is Science Fantasy... That's right, I think.)

Leia (Star Wars)

Lily (HP)

Lillith (Might have the spelling wrong there. Discworld)

Legolas (LoTR)

Lotho (LoTR)

That looks like ten.  I'm pretty sure they're all accurate, but I'll check.

If it is, WLIU, 8 uncommonly used Fantasy Creatures.  (As in, Dragons, Unicorns, Pegasi, Mermaids ETC are out.)

edit;  Those all look right.  I did spell Lilith wrong, but everything else is fine.  @Straw, does this fit your expectations?

Edited August 20, 2016 by Magestar

[Straw he/him]

Yes, it does.

[+Slowswift]

I'm fairly certain that some of these are actually really common, and I just don't read enough. Also, most of them are Greek or some other kind of mythological creature. Do mythological figures count as fantastic?

1. Leviathan
2. Sphinx
3. Harpy
4. Manticore
5. Phoenix is too common, isn't it. 
6. Wyverns? Unless they're also super common and/or are the same thing as dragons?
7. Sirens
8. Gremlins???
9. Lemmasu (I think. I probably spelled it wrong too.)
10. In case I hallucinated ever hearing about lemmasu, jackalope?
11. An extra, just in case: brownies.
12. Ooh! Gnomes?
13. Satyrs. But I think they're fairly common.
14. Centaurs. Same.

Honestly, I probably just don't read enough. :/

If you guys want really unheard of and unused creatures, mainly because I can remember at least 2 books for each of the above mentioned creatures.

Nian. I had to do a small play for him during Drama class, and we made it really comedic. Then we googled him and turns out it's a badass. It's a Chinese monster that comes out of the mountains every New Year and terrorises people

Amphisbaena, A less-known Greak monster, a reptilian beast with two heads (one on it's tail), it came from Medusa's blood when she was beheaded by Perseus. But hey, Pegasus sprouted from her blood as well, so it's understandable why it's so under-rated

Quetzalcoatl- I think at least some of you should know of it, Quetzalcoatl is seen as the common anscestor of Mesoamerican people. He is a snake adorned with the feathers of the quetzal bird.

Roc- Massive birds basically

Echidna- Known to the Greeks as the mother of all monsters

Hekatoncheires. I suspect I spelt it wrong, but they are Greek giants with hundred arms

Garuda, a pretty badass Hindu, humanoid bird being, he is said to be large enough to block out the sun. 

Hippocampus- Another greek monster, part horse-part fish

The Rainbow Serpent, An aboriginal creation god from the Dreamtime

[Magestar he/him]

Well, the first list was good enough considering the extra's you put in, as Phoenix are a little too common, as are Centaurs, and Satyrs.  Wyvern's aren't actually common, I just like the idea a lot, so I've read a lot about them.  @Slowswift, you can go next, if you want.  Sunbird's additions are all really good.  Darkness, that list is epic.  I didn't even know about the Nian or Amphisbaena.   And I doubt I could have gotten Quetzalcoatl or Garuda on the spur of the moment.  So, great job, even if Slowswift did get on first.

But....but.....cuteness!

[Magestar he/him]

Shoot.  I love the Oceans movies.  Some of the best movies ever made.  I kind of want someone else to answer this one though.  Plus, I don't want to go so close to just having gone.

Also, an Echidna is a greek monster.  Rather, she is.  You can look it up, but the images are kind of... Yeah, just don't look at the images.

4. Tobey Maguire (does that count since he wasn't one of the stars?)

Dang…I can see faces of some of the others, but can't quite come up with their names without looking them up.

I was going to upload one to show her  before I realized...

[Magestar he/him]

Yeeaah...  Not cool internet.  Not cool.

Matt Damon completes Jondesu's list.  Plus there's also Bruce Willis and Don Cheadle.  Oddly, I cannot remember a lot of the main cast beyond that.  Bruce Willis was only in Oceans 13, too.  I used to have all the names down, but I guess it's been too long since I watched those.   

I guess I know what I'm doing tonight.

I guess I have to go now...  Oh Well.

WLIU...  Name 5 Apple Operating systems.  

Edited August 22, 2016 by Magestar

Lol, I'll claim this one easily (I've used nothing but Macs since the 90's, most of my life in fact).  I'll even stick to the ones that have true names, instead of just numbers (and 5 different lines, in case you were meaning different types of operating systems rather than different versions):
