Oh man I
love cryptids. My favorites are Jersey Devil, the Fresno Nightcrawlers, and Mothman. I also recently learned of another really cool cryptid:
Akhlut. They're basically land orcas and
I adore them. I have a whole bunch of cryptid-related pins too, like a jackalope, the Chupacabra, Cthulhu, and more!
Edit: Oh yeah, there's one I've been kind of hyper-fixated on lately!
Shape-shifters. (We all know what they're really called, but don't say the real name because some legends say that if you speak it, it draws them to you.)
Like, did you know that the
louder they sound, the further away they are? And if they're quiet, that means they're
really close to you. Legends say that it's because when something sounds close, you'll want to run away from it, but you'll probably end up running straight into them. They're also crazy good mimics. If they hear someone's voice even a little bit, they can mimic the voice almost perfectly. The thing is, though, you can usually tell if one is speaking to you because the voice will be monotone, and sometimes just sound like an audio track playing on repeat.
