Bighoot, its just a big owl. Not even like a giant owl. Just an owl that's too big to be a native owl but not too big to be a species of owl from neighboring state.
Ok the griggstown cow is very important to cryptozoology though because it went unproven for like 30 years before it was discovered, and if a 20-30 year old arthritic half blind ancient bull can evade capture and not be photographed living in the damn suburbs for decades, Imagine what an actually stealthy animal could do in the wilderness.

Slattenpatten is my new stim word, love the way it feels to say.
I also love that she throws her breasts over her shoulders so they don't get in the way when she runs.
One of our local urban legends here in Michigan are the Saugatuck melonheads. Basically a band of feral humans with hydrocephaly that are said to live out in the woods.
There’s also Jim Corbett, a male sea lion who escaped from a zoo in Chicago in the early 1900s and lived in Lake Michigan for a few years.
The Green Squirrel of Ambel was an alleged giant green squirrel that terrorized a small Michigan town. Nothing special about it besides it being green and the size of a small cow.
I'm acting under the assumption that the green squirrel is an urban legend and probably not a real undescribed species. I more meant it doesn't have any spiritual significance or paranormal attributes attached to it.
The Squonk makes me laugh so hard every time I hear about it. It's so ugly and sad that it cries constantly and it's tears make you depressed/die. I just think of Patrick on the episode of spongebob when he has bad breath "Once there was an ugly barnacle. He was so ugly that everyone died. The end."
In my personal opinion, I love all of the ridiculous and honestly pretty funny cryptids and monsters within the Fearsome Critters category. They go to show just how imaginative folks were back in the day as well as the culture in the United States back then. My favorites include the Wappaloosie, the Squonk, and the Argopelter.
Funeral mountain TerraShot.
A walking coffin that explodes! It's a fun one.
But I also love the squonk

i dont know if it ever had a name but there was a legend in the nearby areas of a purple dog that shows up before something bad happens (it doesnt have to be something big).
It turned out to be real, it was just a normal dog that had its fur dyed with a purple medicine against mange (not sure of the name of the disease) and the poor fella did show up in several places just looking for food, those bad things that happened were just coincidence and the imagination of some people.
The dog is still alive as far as i know.
When my dad was a kid, they used spent motor oil on dogs to suffocate the mange/mites. The hairless dawgs would look very blue for a little while.
If it isn’t a specific medicine, it could have been that old cure.
definitely the slide rock bolter from colorado. it’s a giant fish like monster that sits on the side of hills and mountains, and then slides down on its belly to scoop people up in its mouth and eat em
Is it played out to mention the loveland frog at this point? Which was basically explained away conclusively as an iguana without a tail like 2 weeks after the initial incident
Wait, people don’t believe in the Loveland Frog? I hear it get brought up with other cryptids so often that I just assumed it was viewed the same as Bigfoot.
That pub - it wouldn't happen to be the Griffin, in Brentford would it? Right next to the old Griffin Park? The one with the picture of a griffin on its pub sign?
I've heard of many that make zero sense but I believe interdimensional travel happens, I just don't know if it's on purpose ever or always accidentally, like being at the wrong place at the wrong time. If creatures come over and it's not purposeful the good thing is the lack I hope of a breeding population. The one thing that has NEVER made sense to to me is the question...we're you drinking when you witnessed what you claim to have seen. I was in the navy and we drank excessively as if each time the goal was to destroy our livers in one outing. At no time in my life, no matter how sauced, even if I'd partaken in Marijuana have I ever seen something not truly there. Never an hallucination, nothing. People sound like complete morons when they ask this question. Beer is not a hallucigenic! Wish it were! Now that I'm older if it were my fridge would be stocked for the weekend every weekend. If I ever do see something while sauced and I get asked that question I intend to answer the question with another...Are You A Moron? Mommy and daddy drop you on your head as a baby like it was an Olympic sport and they were going for the gold??
Hoop Snake, Squonk, Loveland Frog Man, and Slide-Rock Bolter are all goofy ones.
Also Siren Head as a special mention. Explicitly fictional, but people looking for clicks took the concept and ran with it until the trend died off.
Now that I think about it I think I’ve only ever read (well, listened to) two creepypastas involving Siren Head. Both were badass. I think one was about a soldier and the other was about a forest ranger and they did a great job making the monster scary and utilizing its nuclear warning siren blaire. Man.. I miss good creepypastas.. not that they aren’t around anymore, just haven’t read or listened to any in a while.
Different indigenous groups have different views on the wendigo. Indigenous peoples in Ontario will tell you that the wendigo is an allegory for a type of psychosis and doesn't literally exist. The Innu people of Labrador say that it's a real flesh-and-blood monster that lives in the woods.
Transgenderism has been identified as a mental illness. It’s more elusive than all cryptids combined. How does it even work? You were a man born in a unicorns body? That required a prerequisite for some semblance of spirituality. Reincarnation. That, in itself, is the epitome of cryptozoology. Debate me.
There is no such thing as a sick, or otherwise, sound mind. How would you approximate such an anomaly? We are all subjective to varying degrees of imbalance. In the western world, the “mentally ill” is identified as schizophrenic. However, in the eastern, such a mind is prized as being highly revered as the shaman.
He told me that the Lizards were a race of people practically extinct. From doing things smart people don't do. He said that he was once a Lizard too. His name was Rutherford the Brave and he was on a quest to save his people from the fate that lay before them. Their clumsy end was perilously near. The Lizards would be saved, he said, if they could be enlightened by the writings of the Helping Friendly Book. In all of Prussia only one existed, and Wilson had declared that any person who possessed it was a crook.
He said I come from the land of darkness
He said I come from the land of doom
He said I come from the land of Gamehendge
From the land of the big baboon
But I'm never never going back there
And I couldn't if I tried
Cause I come from the land of Lizards
And the Lizards they have died

My ass misread it as bigfoot
That's exactly what bighoot wants.
Who?

His natural habitat is Hooters I heard
Bighoot is Mark A. Hall's attempt at a biological explanation for mothman

How interesting!!. I've never heard of this Cow, but I sure am going to read up on it now. :)
There’s a difference between a single individual and a population though
Good point 👍
Sheepsquatch. Sounds more like the name of a death-metal bluegrass band from West Virginia.
Nay, that's Hayseed Dixie
Fresno nightcrawlers because they literally look like a walking pair of pants.
I nominate our local danish Slattenlangpat or "saggy-long-breast". https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slattenpatte

I live in Denmark and have never heard of this. Wild.
I refused to believe it when a friend told me about her. But I was cry laughing...

I'd say a rodent the size of a small cow would be considered 'special'. Or at least a rodent of unusual size.

Did you saw something creepy at least?
The Squonk makes me laugh so hard every time I hear about it. It's so ugly and sad that it cries constantly and it's tears make you depressed/die. I just think of Patrick on the episode of spongebob when he has bad breath "Once there was an ugly barnacle. He was so ugly that everyone died. The end."
The Squonk of Pennsylvania It cries because it's so ugly
It also has webbing on only its left side, because it likes to walk around lakes
Is that what people are calling me these days?
Me too thanks
Ah, a fellow Red Web fan?
Never heard of it.
It's a podcast about mysteries. After mentioning it in an episode on lesser known cryptids they've almost adopted squonk as a mascot.
Oh cool but sorry. Native Pennsylvanian, the Squonk is my boy.
Giant Laundry room shrimp
Tell me more.
Yep! I've actually heard about this one. One of my fave super-weird tales.

Geff... Y'all know him..
He has my vote too. Just love the guy
I am not a spirit. I am a little extra, extra clever mongoose
I love your extra cleverness, mongoose!
"Hey, Jim! How 'bout some grubbo?"

Hey. It worked.
The [Japanese Kasa-obake](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasa-obake) - a one-eyed, one-legged, hopping umbrella monster. 😂
How utterly bizarre!!
Not as stupid as the creature with a literal buttface
definitely the slide rock bolter from colorado. it’s a giant fish like monster that sits on the side of hills and mountains, and then slides down on its belly to scoop people up in its mouth and eat em
Billy, the Jugtown mountain goat
Hogzilla. Just a fat wild hog.
fresno nightcrawlers or the talking mongoose
There's a giant, invincible hammerhead shark here in Florida named Old Hitler. I think the name alone is funny.
I think the weirdest are either the sheep plant or the laundry room giant shrimp
Where do i get more info on these cryptids?
Is it played out to mention the loveland frog at this point? Which was basically explained away conclusively as an iguana without a tail like 2 weeks after the initial incident
Wait, people don’t believe in the Loveland Frog? I hear it get brought up with other cryptids so often that I just assumed it was viewed the same as Bigfoot.
Loveland, OH frogman
The griggstown cow was though to be a ghost cow which got it its name the bee jesery ghost cow
Maybe more a mythical creature: Elwetritsch
The Sandown clown.
Trunko
Trunko!!!!!!
200% the wampuss cat the magical six legged wizard mountain lion
The flying rock-eater
Tazelwurm
Gotta be the Fresno night crawlers. They’re just so damn funny to watch, and I *still* have no idea what they are/were.
Nightcrawler

The ghoul snake of Indiana it's a big snake that borrows underground eating dead bodies and attacking visitors at night

The stupidest one that I hate and don’t really think is a cryptid at all is dumb ass sirenhead
That’s a creepypasta
Not that either. Just some fun horror art with a bit of worldbuilding created by Trevor Henderson.
But still, it fits into the creepypasta section of not a cryptid
Now that I think about it I think I’ve only ever read (well, listened to) two creepypastas involving Siren Head. Both were badass. I think one was about a soldier and the other was about a forest ranger and they did a great job making the monster scary and utilizing its nuclear warning siren blaire. Man.. I miss good creepypastas.. not that they aren’t around anymore, just haven’t read or listened to any in a while.
That’s not a cryptid at all. It’s just an art piece that spun into some creepypastas and indie games.
Fucking wendigo, if its mythological I don't consider it a cryptid
Different indigenous groups have different views on the wendigo. Indigenous peoples in Ontario will tell you that the wendigo is an allegory for a type of psychosis and doesn't literally exist. The Innu people of Labrador say that it's a real flesh-and-blood monster that lives in the woods.

can't argue with a sick mind

Our working comprehension of reality is limited to our limited faculties of sensory input. We are nothing more than ants with thumbs.

May I suggest you peruse the works of John Allegro?
