Origami maker Kamiya Satoshi has made some pretty incredible creatures. His colorful chonological gallery stretches back to 1999 and is filled with animals, fantastic creatures, plants, insects and geometric shapes. As far as I can tell everything is made form a single sheet of paper (sometimes as much as 2 meters square). The amount of detail is often spectacular -- for example each of the scales on the dragon at the beginning of this post is individually creased to look like a 3D scale, not glued on or some other cop out. Here is a page that shows one of his "simpler" creations, a beetle, and the diagram of the creases on the paper needed to make it and a search result from YouTube of videos of his work.
