NEW VIDEO

In China and Chile there are scarily similar reports of a cryptid that preys on people. They are massive creatures that ambush people and drink their their blood. There have been sightings of them for centuries, but is there any truth to these reports?

Link below!

@Globsterologe @BestCryptids That report is from a letter by Patrick Bowen (the alleged witness) in the October 1925 issue (No. 330/Vol. 25, available online), titled "What Was It?". Interestingly, the artist's (not Bowen's) depiction seems to me to have been influenced by sphenacodontid reconstructions.

Also I have a document of artists Ive worked with or feature in videos with a sample/credit of their art and a link to their portfolio. If you want to be added and have more than 1 drawing of a cryptid let me know and I'll get you in. I link it every vid

If youre looking for realistic cryptid ideas check these videos out, especially the coelacanth one. There are a lot of cryptids that are weird small to medium sized guys in lesser studied areas (and @ me with any art so I can share it)

[Carlos the Guaiki @Carlosarty12]

We need more artists who draw cryptids to look like real animals

@Carlosarty12 I really want the Korean or Bermudan coelacanths to be drawn one day, maybe with some sort of local environmental spin. Here's one of the Mediterranean coelacanth drawn by Robert Woodard

@ttdomurillo I saw the video buuuut it really could be a lot of animals, and I don't say that often but the closeness and lack of shape makes it tough. Hope he keeps working on it and that the video inspires some excitement about Indonesia!

True

We need to bring back the terror bird craze of the 2000s.

Giant, fast-running, carnivorous feathered dinosaurs. CGI should be easier now than 20 years ago, so why shouldn't another non-documentary give them a shot.

just saw a piece of aboriginal cave art of a thylacine and started crying

@Globsterologe These guys

In the Northern parts of Zambia come reports of the nsanga, an animal like a crocodile but with completely smooth skin and a massive head. One was reportedly shot by an adventurer in nearby Mozambique, who talked about the encounter in The Wide World Magazine

This should not be difficult.

The lesser known...the better

[Legendary Cryptids @BestCryptids]

@thedarkprowler I thought so too

[Legendary Cryptids @BestCryptids]

This album by Greg Mendez popped up for me the other day and I cant be the only one who sees it right?

[Legendary Cryptids @BestCryptids]

@Chrisquatch Yep

[Legendary Cryptids @BestCryptids]

@ARabidWeasel I should clarify that the short faced bear theory was for only some sightings in the Eastern part of the US, not all of them

[Legendary Cryptids @BestCryptids]

My favorite alternate cryptid theories

Bigfoot is a giant sloth
Bigfoot is a short faced bear (depicted by thekymay)
Mothman is a prehistoric giant owl

[LegoMyExplosiveEggo @Eldritch_Alien]

@TheVeryFish Ooo this is really nice, it'd be really interesting to see different interpretations/depictions of popular urban legend creatures like this
