Dave's Pawn Shop, El Paso, Texas
This is the coolest pawn shop ever. You can find the most antique, bizarre things here... Fiji mermaids (2!), a baby vampire heart (with stakes still poked through it), Pancho Villa's mummified trigger finger, Nazi memorabilia, skeletons, a Chupacabra corpse, and an array of other assorted strange and crazy items...
The Waheela is a wolf-like cryptid reported from Nahanni Valley in the Northwest Territories of Canada. It has also been reported in areas of Michigan and Alaska..Described as a very large creature, that has features of both a wolf and a bear. Being an subarctic creature, the fur covering this large beast is snow white. Some of my cryptozoological colleagues feel that perhaps the Waheela is a relic population of bear-dogs. Neither bear nor dog, the bear-dog became extinct 3 to 4 million years ago . #dog #bear #wolf #canada #sighting #waheela
A wolf Grey white or black. 12 feet tall or more at shoulder while standing on all 4 paws and twice as long of body. Muscled heavily claws much more than greatest of bears.
It is mortal of body but a divine agent of Gaia endowed with her protection, faster healing physical superiority to everything else in nature. A Guardian designed to be near impossibly to kill.
Unlike a were wolf, Gaia created Waheela for her purposes. If they would die serving her interests she wastes her efforts. So often unless old and getting feeble, those who fall a Waheela are often surprised of their sudden unexpected full and instant recovery within minutes of being kills.
Waheelas are the ultimate predators made for sudden bursts of brutal power yet capable of agility the best of both sides.
Also Waheela have no aversion to garlic, silver, crosses or the name of god. when faced with a superior foe Gaia sustains them.
But the waheela must also be smart and use the others strengths to their advantage.
For example a Waheela against a Giant polar bear. They would not fight as bears. The waheela would circle and look for opportunity then schred the bears arteries in the legs. A bled out opponant is only a meal that you wait on like delivery.
(( unfortunately there is no real Waheela avatar in SL ))

NAHUELITO:
es una supuesta criatura acuática desconocida que según la creencia popular vive en este lago.
Al igual que Nessie, su hermano escocés, recibe su nombre de la masa de agua que supuestamente habita, aunque su existencia nunca ha sido confirmada a pesar de las búsquedas sistemáticas realizadas.
La leyenda es muy conocida en el país y es una referencia en libros y artículos clásicos de criptozoología.
Su origen se remonta a relatos indígenas previos a la conquista.
Los primeros exploradores obtuvieron de los nativos del lugar leyendas acerca de encuentros ocasionales con monstruos acuáticos.
A partir de 1897, el Dr. Clemente Onelli, director del zoológico de Buenos Aires, comienza a recibir informes esporádicos acerca de una posible extraña criatura habitante de los lagos patagónicos.
El primer posible avistamiento registrado data de 1910, aunque George Garret, su protagonista, lo hizo público mucho tiempo después.
En 1910 Garret trabajaba en una compañía ubicada cerca del Nahuel Huapi.
Un día de ese año, luego de navegar por el lago y a punto de desembarcar, pudo avistar a unos 400 m de distancia una criatura cuya parte visible medía entre 5 y 7 m de largo y sobresalía unos dos metros por encima del agua.
Al comentar su experiencia con gente del lugar, Garret se entera de historias similares relatadas por los indígenas.
Pero el hecho se hace público recién en 1922, cuando lo cuenta al diario Toronto Globe.
En esos días se organizaba la primera expedición para buscar a Nahuelito y la controversia estaba en su punto máximo, llegando a la prensa internacional, ya entonces, la descripción del supuesto animal era muy semejante a la de un plesiosaurio.
En 1922 el Dr. Onelli recibe el testimonio de Martin Sheffield, un buscador de oro norteamericano, acerca de un supuesto rastro de grandes huellas en la orilla del lago Nahuel Huapi.
En el centro del mismo Sheffield igualmente afirmaba haber visto un enorme animal desconocido.
Convencido por el informe de Sheffield, Onelli decide organizar una expedición de búsqueda.
La misma fue liderada por el superintendente del zoológico, José Chiagi, y entre los participantes había reconocidos cazadores armados con rifles para cazar elefantes y dinamita para minar el lago.
La gente reaccionó negativamente ante la participación de cazadores, y el Dr. Albarracín, Presidente de la Asociación Protectora de Animales, le solicitó al Ministro del Interior que revocara la autorización para la búsqueda.
Finalmente se resolvió el tema del permiso y la expedición siguió adelante, pero sin embargo regresó a Buenos Aires, obviamente sin resultados positivos.
La historia tuvo repercusión internacional, llegando a ser comentada en publicaciones como la revista Scientific American.
Más recientemente, en febrero de 1960, se dice que la Armada Argentina persiguió en el lago un objeto submarino no identificado durante 18 días, sin conseguir identificarlo; a lo cual algunas personas lo relacionaron con esta supuesta criatura.
El crecimiento como destino turístico de la ciudad de Bariloche, situada a orillas del Nahuel Huapi, aumentó los supuestos avistamientos ocasionales, al igual que lo que sucede en el lago Ness; pero nunca se ha obtenido un registro gráfico realmente concluyente.
En 1988 se publicaron fotos del Nahuelito en un diario local.
Las fotos fueron tomadas a corta distancia con una cámara no digital y el objeto se encontraba cerca de la costa de la turística Bariloche, situada sobre el Nahuel Huapi, uno de los mayores centros de atracción turística del país.
"No es un tronco de formas caprichosas. No es una ola. El Nahuelito mostró la cara. Lago Nahuel Huapi, sábado 15 de abril, a las 9 horas. No doy mis datos para evitarme futuras molestias", dijo el hombre en una misiva que dejó junto a las fotos.

EL SUEIRO:
Entre los antiguos pobladores de la región del Nahuel Huapi era frecuente el rumor de la existencia de un monstruo al que llamaban "El Sueiro" que es difícilmente descripto ya que decían que "sale de los lagos de noche, posee el cuerpo del tamaño de una vaca y deja huellas como de un pato gigante", también afirmaban que el tal supuesto monstruo es carnívoro, alimentándose muchas veces de las vacas.
Aunque tales rumores más parecen una elaboración criolla del referido mito mapuche de "El Cuero".

EL CUERO:
El cuero, también conocido con el nombre de cuero del agua, manta o manta del Diablo, es un animal acuático de la mitología mapuche y posteriormente incluido en la mitología del sur de Chile y de Argentina, y en particular en la mitología chilota.
Esta criatura tendría una apariencia muy similar al de un cuero de vacuno extendido de gran tamaño.
En el borde de su cuerpo poseería unos apéndices similares a unas garras o espinas filosas como garfios.
Sobre un extremo de su cuerpo, en donde se cree estaría la zona que correspondería a su cabeza, sobresaldrían dos apéndices similares a tentáculos que terminarían en un par de ojos desorbitados de un color rojizo.
En el centro de la parte de abajo de su cuerpo, estaría su boca, muy parecida a una enorme ventosa, con la cual podría absorber completamente los fluidos de su presa, hasta dejarla seca y muerta.
Debido a su cuerpo aplanado, algunas personas lo asocian con una criatura semejante a una mantarraya.
Las leyendas cuentan que estas criaturas estarían habitando en numerosos lagos, lagunas y ríos de los territorios del sur de la Argentina y de Chile, y en menor medida en su cercano mar.
En aquellos lugares, como el caso del archipiélago de Chiloé, se cuenta que atacaría principalmente presas animales y en menor medida a seres humanos y embarcaciones pequeñas.
Sus ataques serían más frecuentes al atardecer, acercándose de manera sigilosa a su presa; que puede estar en la orilla, o bien bebiendo o bañándose en el agua, o dentro de una embarcación.
Se dice que luego de estar lo suficientemente cerca, con sus poderes hipnotizaría a su víctima; y posteriormente mediante sus afiladas uñas atraparía a su víctima o a la embarcación y la arrastraría hacia al fondo.
Ya en el fondo, envolvería rápidamente a su presa y la mataría por sofocamiento; y ahí la devoraría absorbiéndole completamente la sangre y otros fluidos.
Para lograr poder matar a un cuero, se necesitaría la ayuda de una Machi experta, la cual con sus habilidades atraería al cuero hacia la orilla.
Al tenerlo ya a la vista, lo engañaría arrojándole ramas de calafate.
El Cuero, engañado por el poder de la Machi, creería que las ramas serían una posible presa; sin embargo, al atacar y apretar con fuerza las ramas, las espinas de las ramas se enterrarían en su cuerpo y el cuero se desgarraría y sangraría hasta morir.
Debido a sus características, el Cuero suele ser a veces confundido con "El Guirivilo".

EL GUIRIVILO:
o cuchivilu (del castellano dialectal cuchi: cerdo y del mapudungún filu: culebra), es un animal acuático fantástico de la mitología chilota.
Se le atribuyen los destrozos que se producen en los corrales de pesca (un método tradicional de pesca de Chiloé, abandonado en la década de 1980 por disposiciones legales).
es una criatura del tamaño de un gran cánido, que se presenta como un ser con cabeza de zorro.
Pero con el cuerpo largo, similar a una culebra (incluso con escamas, aletas similar a una Serpiente marina).
Y una gran y larga cola de zorro que tiene en su extremo unas uñas, que utiliza como garra, y con la cual produce también torbellinos.
Según las leyendas, el Guirivilo es un tipo de " Zorro de agua" de fuerza descomunal que habita en los remansos intensivos de los ríos y en aguas cenagosas.
Se dice que utiliza su extraña y gran cola con uñas, como una garra para enredar a hombres y animales que se bañan en sus aguas, con el fin de arrastrarlos al fondo para alimentarse de los ahogados.
Esta criatura hace que el nivel del agua baje, para animar a gente que intente cruzarlo que lo hace se parecen seguras; e igualmente sería la causa de los torbellinos peligrosos que matan a las personas que intentan cruzar los ríos.
No suele salir a la tierra, ya que este cambio provoca terribles temblores en su cuerpo, como si estuviera sintiendo un gran frío.
Se dice que la única manera segura de cruzar un río en el cual viva un Guirivilo es en una embarcación.
Pero si se desea que el Guirivilo, deje de vivir en ese lugar, la persona debe conseguir una buena Machi, o un Calcu que acepte ayudar.
Si es un Calcu, a este deben ser ofrecidos regalos a cambio del servicio del retiro de Guirivilo.
La Machi o Calcu realizaría una ceremonia que consiste en caminar a través del río hasta que alcance el torbellino, luego de lo cual se zambulle.
Posteriormente nadaría luego a la superficie, y traería capturado al Guirivilo mediante sus capacidades mágicas.
Ya atrapado en la superficie, la Machi o el Calcu procedería a amenazar a la criatura con un cuchillo, diciéndole que lo va a mutilar si sigue dañando a otras personas que intenten cruzar o bañarse en ese sitio.
Luego de la amenaza, lanzaría al Guirivilo nuevamente dentro del agua; y el torbellino o los torbellinos se contraerían y después desaparecerían.
Se dice que luego de la ceremonia, la gente vería que el nivel del agua baja, haciendo que el bañarse o el cruzar el río o estero sea más fácil.
Igualmente se dice que la criatura se mudaría a otra parte, para atormentar probablemente a la gente río o estero abajo, o en otro diferente.
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
EL TREHUACO:
Su nombre se origina del idioma mapudungún, donde trewa es: "perro" y ko:"agua".
Es un animal fantástico del agua presente en la mitología chilota, descrito como un bello animal, de firme musculatura, extraordinaria fuerza, y un gran y negro pelaje con una apariencia muy similar a la de un gran perro.
Según la leyenda, se dice que en Chiloé, en las cercanías de Yaldad, existe una laguna encantada; en la cual habitaría esta criatura.
Se cree que si una mujer se acerca a esta laguna y recita ciertos versos mágicos, hará que las aguas de la laguna se alejaran hacia el mar, de la misma forma que si fuera un río; y en el momento de secarse la laguna, en el centro de lo que era la laguna, aparecerá el Trehuaco.
Luego si la mujer lo llama, este se acercará rápidamente hacia ella; y en ese momento comenzaran a tener una relación sexual.
Posteriormente, ya cumplido el deseo de la mujer, y ya satisfecho el Trehuaco; la criatura se volverá al centro de la laguna.
Estando ya en el centro, comenzara a lanzar roncos aullidos, haciendo que las aguas nuevamente retornen a la laguna y así volverá a desaparecer en las profundidades de la laguna; hasta que una mujer lo llame nuevamente para cumplir sus deseos amorosos.
En el caso de la mujer, se dice que luego de que el Trehuaco desaparece ella se quedara dormida, y posteriormente despertará al lado de la puerta de su casa. También se cree que si alguna persona sorprende a la inusual pareja, el Trehuaco desaparecerá inmediatamente; y la mujer quedará con una gran melancolía, que le durara por mucho tiempo.

Lagarfljót is a lake in which the Lagarfljótsormur, an Icelandic lake cryptid, supposedly lives. Sightings have been logged since 1345 and continue into the 21st century. An origin of the creature is given in Jón Árnason's collection of Icelandic folktales and legends published in 1862 and 1864.

Spot-bellied Eagle Owl
The spot-bellied eagle-owl (Bubo nipalensis), also known as the forest eagle-owl is a large bird of prey with a formidable appearance. It is a forest-inhabiting species found in the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. This species is considered part of a superspecies with the barred eagle-owl (Bubo sumatranus), which looks quite similar but is allopatric in distribution, replacing the larger spot-bellied species in the southern end of the Malay Peninsula and the larger island in Southeast Asia extending down to Borneo.
The spot-bellied eagle-owl is a large species of owl. It measures from 50 to 65 cm (20 to 26 in) in length. It is the sixth longest owl in the world on average and has the ninth longest wings of any living owl. The ear-tufts of the spot-bellied are very long and conspicuously of variable length, giving them a somewhat scraggly appearance at the tips. The ear-tufts of the spot-bellied eagle-owl measure up to 63 to 76 mm (2.5 to 3.0 in) in length. Most eagle-owls are well-feathered on both their leg and toes, while the barred eagle-owl is featherless on the toes and feathered on the legs, and the spot-bellied eagle-owl has feathered legs and feet, but the terminal digits of the toes are bare before the talons. The feet and talons as formidable as any eagle-owl, being very large, heavy and powerful for their size.
The spot-bellied eagle-owl is overall a stark, grayish brown bird, with dark, coarse brown coloration over the back and upper wings. The throat and underparts are mainly pale fulvous in color with black and white horizontal stripes along the flanks of the body that become broad spots on the abdomen and under tail coverts. On the wings, the primaries are dark brown with lighter brown stripes and the secondaries are more heavily barred with buff-brown coloration. The lores are covered in bristly feathers and the cheeks are brownish-white with black feather shafts. The large ear tufts slant off to the sides.
This owl is noted for its strange, human-sounding call, and it has been suggested that it is the same as the cryptid known as ulama or "Devil Bird" in Sri Lanka. A local name is Maha Bakamuna ("large horned owl"). According to www.cryptozoology.com, in July 2001 it was confirmed that ulama description perfectly matches spot-bellied eagle-owl. This call consists of a scream, which rises and then falls in tone. The territorial call of the species, like that of most other eagle-owls, consists of low hoots with two-second intervals between hoos. The voice is booming, deep and carries quite far. It is usual for forest-dwelling owls (and many different kinds of birds) to have an extensive and complex range of vocalizations since vision is more limited than in open or semi-open habitats. However, the spot-bellied eagle owl has relatively small ear openings even for a member of the genus Bubo, suggesting that some territorial behaviour is carried out visually instead of auditorily.
This species is distributed the Lower Himalayas from Kumaon east to Burma, thence to central Laos and central Vietnam. They are found throughout the Indian subcontinent and peninsular Southeast Asia down into the southernmost limits of the range in Sri Lanka and to 12 degrees north in southern Thailand. The spot-bellied eagle-owl dwells mainly in primary or older second growth forests. Potentially, they can come to inhabit nearly all varieties of land-based habitats but prefer those such as dense, evergreen forests or moist deciduous forests within its range, though can range secondarily into tropical valleys, terrai and shola in the lower hills of India. Although often considered uncommon to somewhat rare, recent photographic evidence indicates that they are particularly widely found in different parts of India and may simply avoid detection, so long as appropriate wooded habitat remains.
The spot-bellied eagle-owl is nocturnal and often spends its day hidden in the dense foliage of large forest trees. However, they have been observed on the move and even hunting during the day, especially in forests with minimal human disturbance. Their activity normally picks up at dusk as they begin to hunt. This species is generally uncommon, likely needing large hunting and breeding territories and thus occurs at low densities. However, it continues to occur over a large range and is not thought to be conservation dependent. Areas, where deforestation occurs, are likely to be vacated by this species, which is perhaps the only widespread threat faced by this owl.

The black-and-white interior illustration is by artist Frank Soltesz, for a story in MAN'S WORLD, April 1964 about the famous Piltdown Man hoax...
The Anima Arcanum found in the high passes of the First Great Chain mountains are barely understood. Once acquired and taken as samples they may shift their positions, almost imperceptibly until the form seen in great Museums of Lysandria City is far removed from what was seen on the cliff face. On at least three occasions a Pioneer and her Apprentice were able to stabilize a Lapis Natator that had completely separated from its native rocky matrix. Although for reasons no one understood, such samples always vanished from their containers before reaching the city.

Cannonsburgh Village is a collection of historic structures from the Rutherford County area moved to this spot as part of America's Bicentennial in 1976. Cannonsburgh is the original name of Murfreesboro.
The Money Woman bridge was originally west of Smyrna where an old alignment of Almaville Road crossed Stewart's Creek. The old one lane iron bridge with a wooden driving surface was quite inadequate when it was replaced and removed in the 1970s, at just the right time to be placed at this new village.
But why is it called the Monkey Woman bridge?
Back in the 1950's, there was an urban legend which became quite popular regarding the area around this bridge, including a nearby cemetery. Many people claimed to see a half-woman, half-monkey in this area.
The story was given more credibility when local journalist Ed Bell stopped on the bridge one night to look at the creek. According to his story, the Monkey Woman jumped on the hood of his car!
The legend has survived for many decades. A friend who lived in the area told me how the replacement bridge which is now on One Mile Lane is still called the Monkey Woman Bridge. He and his friends would sometimes hang out there on Halloween night, until they got scared and ran home.
I'm not going to tell you what you should or shouldn't believe about this story. However, the crew who dug up this old bridge to have it moved here apparently also found some remains.

On a cold plain backed by jagged mountains a shaggy white beast trudges through the snow. Covered in long white hair and walking upright, this is the yeti, the mysterious cryptid also known as the abominable snowman that haunts the Peaks and valleys of the Himalayas. As he lumbers through a snowstorm, he turns towards the viewer bearing his large tusks.
Generally, I try to keep my art consistent with the season. Technically, it is autumn right now, but with excessively cold temperatures hitting this year and reports of record snows in mid November from around the U.S. I felt it was time to release this winter themed scene. I rather think of this creature as representing the coming of a hard winter.
This scene was inspired by one of the most well known images of Bigfoot, the Patterson film at Bluff Creek in California. I mimicked the creatures pose as it has become symbolic of the sasquatch/hairy-man type legends.

May I begin with a scientific definition?
„A cryptid (from the Greek "κρύπτω" (krypto) meaning "hide") is a creature or plant whose existence has been suggested but is not yet recognized by scientific consensus. Famous examples include the Yeti in the Himalayas, the Loch Ness Monster in Scotland, and Sasquatch in North America.“

And now take a look! Here is a new cryptid, seen today in the river Mur near Leoben/Austria. I will call it „Murie“. If now thousands of Murie-tourists are coming, it will by my fault! (:-

2nd on the cryptid list. I'm guessing I'll be a lot better at drawing bipedal hominids and primates by the end of the list.
