As for the Nymph... I'm just assuming you're talking about the D&D/Pathfinder version, where weak-willed people are blinded when looking at one? That gets iffy, since there are other creatues that have similar abilities but are harder to resist, or have higher CHA scores and such.

For example (in Pathfinder), Nocticula, a literal goddess of lust, can mesmerize and enslave anyone who looks at her, and this ability is much harder to resist than the Nymph's. But at least people can look at her without going blind. It's really just slightly different types of magic, but Nocticula is probably supposed to be hotter. But it's really hard to measure once you get into superhuman levels. Supernatural strength and speed can be portrayed accurately in visual media, while intelligence is iffy and beauty certainly can't.
