TSUCHINOKO
I present to you THE LAZIEST CRYPTID EVER.
Also technically a yokai, the Tsuchinoko is a famous Japanese cryptid, on par with Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster in the west, and there are lots of rewards if one is truly sighted. It resembles a fat snake that is wider around its middle than at each end. Why is this so lazy?
Because... well... it seems to be a snake that just ate something. SPOOKY. MYSTERIOUS.
It's kind of like discovering a mysterious type of chicken - "Hey guys, it looks like a chicken, but THIS one lays weird white thingies! Crazy, huh?

Ever since the fight, my flashbacks have gotten more intense, and more frequent. I was still able to function in combat, but my dreams and musings were filled with images from the past. Some were benign, such as images of my wife and children, others not so much. Some of the smarter soldiers, like Cryptid, could tell something was up. But I didn't let it bother me. Until today.
The Wolves arrived near the end of a major battle between USDF footsoldiers and an elite group of Urags. The battle had raged on, with the USDF losing ground, but with few casualties. However, someone high up in the chain of command, who had been observing the fight, panicked. The Urags were closing in, so he called in an air strike, using some of the precious planes that the USDF had left. It was a catastrophe. The Urags were mostly wiped out, but so were 2/3 of the remaining USDF boys. All to save one small man's ass. Anyway, we were here on cleanup, to help the footsoldiers clear out the last of the Urags. We were spread pretty thin, with snipers being spread thin. I heard a commotion, and rushed to investigate. As I cleared the ridge of a blast crater, I saw a horrible sight. A USDF grunt was grappling with an Urag Elite, some of the meanest boys on the battlefield. The USDF soldier had taken a bad slash to his gut, and was holding one blood-soaked hand over the wound. Upon seeing me, a new threat, the Urag grabbed the soldier across the neck, and began dragging him backwards, where the 'Rag could find some cover. I aimed down the sights, with both the kid's head and the Urag's in view. I made the mistake of looking into the kid's eyes, terrified and hopeful that I could save him...
My mind flashed back to the early days of the war. There was a little boy, who seemed familiar, but I couldn't place him. It was exactly as this was, an Urag, a Chieftain with one eye, dragging the child away into the darkness... I couldn't take the risk of hitting the kid! I wasn't that great of a shot, yet. I saw the boy's eyes, with the same look of hope as the soldier in peril. As he was carried off, he screamed to me, "Daddy!" The last scream of the child, my son, hung in the air. But it was mixed with the sound of another, older voice. Awoken out of my reverie, I saw the Urag making a run for it, and the soldier drowning in a pool of his own blood. I looked down, and saw my sniper rifle pointed harmlessly at the ground. Before he died, I saw the look of confusion, confusion and accusation, in the dying soldiers eyes. That look, I knew would haunt me for years to come. My gut churned with mixed feelings about these events. However, I still had a job to do. I drew a bead on the running Urag, and began to squeeze the trigger...
The Urag exploded, though not by my rifle. Through the smoke, Cryptid appeared, a look of confusion and accusation nearly mirroring that of the now-dead soldier. More soldiers began to show up, with similar expressions. Murmurs began to spread, whispers between groups. I slowly approached the dead soldier, and took his dog tags. Unbeknown to any other soldier, I silently added his tag to a chain I kept in my vest pocket; a chain with twenty three other tags already on it. With this, I slowly walked away, back to camp. Once there, I found a secluded area, sat down, and cried, silent sobs racking my body for hours.

This cryptid from the 1500s has been consistently depicted as a fish-man witha bishop's mitre for hundreds of years... until 2006, when Monster in my Pocket recast him as Bubba the Dopefish.
Oft seen from just the corner of the eye, this creature has remained well-hidden for a long, long time.
Back in 2020 I painted this vest with great big cute mothman cryptid (Yes, I live nearby to where the mothman legend came about.) and a parade of Fresno Nightcrawlers around the bottom edge. Sadly, I don’t really wear it as I typically like my vests cropped above my big stupid butt. I have some more ideas of additional things to add to it. My brain is bubbling over with creative ideas because I am not able to sit down and work on them. I forgot how much fun I had making this vest. Here’s to me staying motivated through this busier time so when winter comes around I am able to actually bring these tenuous ideas to fruition.

For a cryptid, Sasquatch sure seems to be everywhere in the Pacific Northwest these days.
t wasn't always like this. No, there was time when years could go by without a mention of this hairy creature.
Experts differ as to Sasquatch's natural habitat. Some believe it is at home high in the Cascade mountains of Oregon.
I belong to the camp who think Sasquach thrives in the environment of t-shirt shops and tourist attractions.

The amazing Gef the Mongoose - eighth wonder of the world - about to split the atom! (might want some googles there Gef)
For the second year in a row I'm celebrating Inktober witth dodgy sketches of Cryptids based on episodes of the Cryptid Keeper podcast.
Poem.
Caledonian forest – a mature relic of an ice-scoured past,
a water-filled, thousand foot deep chasm, chiselled by the glaciers.
Now mellowed by the garb of heather, fern, gorse and woodland and interspersed increasingly with bare rock as elevation rises.
Islands seemingly floating, soften the image further as they cradle their remnant of the ancient glades.
So nearly joining numerous other arms of the sea as a fjord.
Blocked by a coastal rocky lip, this freshwater lake empties via a two mile, rapid-ridden river into the milky white shell-sand estuary of Morar Bay.
Rumours of cryptids supplement the mystique and wonder of this twelve mile stretch of water.
But detract, not one jot, from its peaceful beauty warmed by the setting sun.

Panthera pardus
A black panther is typically a melanistic color variant of any of several species of larger cat. Wild black panthers in Latin America are black jaguars (Panthera onca), in Asia and Africa they are black leopards (Panthera pardus), and in North America they may be black jaguars or possibly black cougars (Puma concolor – although this has not been proven to have a black variant), or smaller cats.
Black panthers are also reported as cryptids in areas such as the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, and if these do exist, their species is not known. Captive black panthers may be black jaguars, or more commonly black leopards. Black panthers have sometimes been regarded as forming different species from their normally-colored relatives.
The name "panther" is often limited to the black variants of the species, but also commonly refers to those that are normally-colored (tawny or spotted), or to white color variants: white panthers.
Black leopards are reported from most densely forested areas in southwestern China, Myanmar, Assam and Nepal, from Travancore and other parts of southern India and are said to be common in Java and the southern part of the Malay Peninsula where they may be more numerous than spotted leopards. They are less common in tropical Africa, but have been reported from Ethiopia (formerly Abyssinia), from the forests of Mount Kenya and from the Aberdares. One was recorded by Peter Turnbull-Kemp in the equatorial forest of Cameroon. Skin color is a mixture of blue, black, gray, and purple.

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.
A famous Japanese cryptozoological creature, the Tsuchinoko looks exactly like a snake that has just eaten a large meal. Exactly. I'm not saying anything... but yeah. Think about that one for a second.

Description
Catching a fish in Tanzania
Female in Kenya â irises are yellow
This is a huge bird that regularly attains a height of 150 cm (59 in), a length of 142 cm (56 in) and a 2.4â2.7 m (7.9â8.9 ft) wingspan. The male is larger and heavier than the female, with a range of 5.1â7.52 kg (11.2â16.6 lb), with a mean mass of 6.38 kg (14.1 lb). The female is usually between 5 and 6.84 kg (11.0 and 15.1 lb), with a mean mass of 5.95 kg (13.1 lb).[2] It is probably the tallest of the storks (though not the heaviest), due in no small part to it extremely long legs (tarsus length is up to 36.5 cm (14.4 in)). The long bill measures from 27.3 to 36 cm (10.7 to 14.2 in). The sexes can be readily distinguished by the golden yellow irises of the female and the brown irises and dangling yellow wattles of the male.
It is spectacularly plumaged; both the female and male appear identical when perched but the female shows much more white in the primaries in flight. The head, neck, back, wings, and tail are iridescent black, with the rest of the body and the primary flight feathers being white. Juveniles are browner grey in plumage. The massive bill is red with a black band and a yellow frontal shield (the "saddle"). The legs and feet are black with pink hocks. On the chest is a bare red patch of skin, whose colour darkens during breeding season.[4]
Behaviour
They are silent except for bill-clattering at the nest. Like most storks, these fly with the neck outstretched, not retracted like a heron; in flight, the large heavy bill is kept drooping somewhat below belly height, giving these birds a very unusual appearance to those who see them for the first time. To experienced birdwatchers on the other hand, this makes them easily recognizable even if seen from a distance. It has been suggested that due to the large size and unusual appearance in flight, this species is the basis for the "big bird" and kongamato cryptids.
Breeding
The saddle-billed stork breeds in forested waterlands and other floodlands in tropical lowland. It builds a large, deep stick nest in a tree, laying one or two white eggs weighing about 146 g each. It does not form breeding colonies, and is usually found alone or in pairs. The incubation period is 30â35 days, with another 70 â 100 days before the chicks fledge.
Food and feeding
The saddle-billed stork, like most of its relatives, feeds mainly on fish, frogs and crabs, but also on small birds and reptiles. They move in a deliberate and stately manner as they hunt, in a similar way to the larger herons.
