Hm, maybe! I'm trying to stick with cryptids for this, but maybe one day I'll do an event with other canines that aren't quite dogs^^

Okay! Then maybe a hellhound? They are dogs right?

If you have any suggestions for any others that aren’t on my to-do list, feel free to suggest them^^ I’m not sure when I’ll get around to adding them, but eventually I’d like to add as many as I can lol


Not exactly a cryptid, but have you heard of Bone Crushing Dogs (borophagus), or the extinct giant dog species whose latin name translates to "more than a dog" (epicyon)? I found out about them some months ago and I've been obsessed with them mostly because they fit one of my wolf characters perfectly and I've since made him a bone crushing dog instead. They're like these huge now exctinct species of canid that looked somewhat like bears even. If I remember correctly they went exctinct before humans were around but they definitely sound like the kind of thing we'd tell stories about and imagine cryptids based on.

Otherwise check out the mythical wolf creature Amarok, who was said to attack humans foolish enough to go out hunting alone.

Borophagus is very cool, not quite what I'm going for with the NQDs since I'm sticking to established cryptids for them. I did do a line set with extinct candids here a while ago, Borophagus included, but I'm not sure if the current owner is planning on becoming active with them again or not?

I've seen Amarok compared to the Waheela, I'll def add that in to my list tho!

Fenrir isn't quite where I'm going with these, unfortunately ^^'

Ah, I understand. The current concept of cryptid dogs is indeed very cool! Thanks for pointing me to the exctinct canids, they look really cool too! Too bad it seems inactive though. But either way, the lines you've drawn for both the exctinct and cryptid canids are all really cool so even if those remain inactive it's cool that NQDs are still here (especially since they're not exctinct)! :)

Haha, thanks! I was pretty happy with how those lines came out, the Direwolf and Andrewsarchus in particular. Maybe one day they'll bring it back. I think if I were to draw Borophagus now I'd do it a little different than what I did for them - see, now you've got me thinking about extinct species XD They were fun to draw lmao

Was Direwolf added to the list?

Also sometimes I hate Wiki…It was giving me felines and foxes.

Anyway, you could try Crocotta, Galley-Trot, Wucharia (if you count those, since Wiki says it’s an unseen or rare type of canine)

There’s also Wulvers but those are werewolves…There’s also something called a White Creature or White Devil Dog.
