Aw man… eh it might’ve been too cramped for her.Yeah, but how many folks outside of have lived or been around Tahoe know about Tessie?Wendigo is technically a mythical monster, not a cryptid.T,,,thats what a cryptid is,,No, cryptids are modern monsters that are allegedly real.I know the line is fine, but there’s still a line.Like, a faerie, a gryphon or a unicorn are not cryptids, they’re just mythical monsters.Literally the first result that pops up on googling the definition: “Cryptozoologists may consider any figure from folklore to be a ”cryptid“ (from the Greek κρύπτω, krypto, meaning “hide”) after the term cryptozoology and meaning a ‘hidden animal’. … Some dictionaries and encyclopedias define the term “cryptid” as an animal whose existence is questionable.“ Nowhere does it say that cryptids have to be modern it just has to be an “animal” (specifically a mythological one) that nobody is sure exists or notThat’s fairNo MoMo?
