Emerging from the jungle mists, a feline beast appears before you. Upon seeing its orange and white coat with black stripes, you may think that this is a tiger. Not so, for this monster stands upon two legs and has hands with long, sharp claws. This is a weretiger, a half human, half tiger shapeshiting sorcerer that prowls the forest in search of victims.
A weretiger is a mythological creature. Essentially it is the same concept as a werewolf, but applied to a tiger rather than a wolf. Originally, I heard about such a lycanthrope as a kid playing Dungeons and Dragons, but the concept actually goes back MUCH further. There is, in fact, neolithic cave art depicting people that can turn into animals. In deed, Were-cats appear in the folklore or many cultures.
Technically, the term 'lycanthropy' only applies to werewolves. Other human/animal monsters have different names. The correct term for a werecat of any breed (lion, tiger, etc.) is 'ailuranthrope'. While the concept as a whole for any animal is actually called 'therianthropy'. Not surprisingly, folklore depicting weretigers comes from regions of the world were real tigers are known to exist, i.e. India and China.

In olden days, sailors returned from distant seas with tales of the elusive mermaid, which they described as a creature that was half-human and half-fish. But there were other weird sightings, too, like the fearsome Jack-a-mer or Mer-o-lope. This half-jackalope/half-fish was found in salt marshes and brackish estuaries. A shy creature, but the bane of any drunken tar who tried to get too close!

King Street Dock, Burlington, Vermont USA • A disintegrating, fiberglass sculpture along the waterfront; an ode to Champ. ∞ Champ, or Champy, is the name given to a reputed lake monster living in Lake Champlain, a natural freshwater lake in North America, partially situated across the U.S.-Canada border in the Canadian province of Quebec and partially situated across the Vermont-New York border. While there is no scientific evidence for the cryptid's existence, there have been over 300 reported sightings. The legend of the monster is considered a draw for tourism in the Burlington, Vermont area.
Like the Loch Ness Monster, while most regard Champ as legend, others have speculated it is possible such a creature does live deep in the lake, possibly a relative of the plesiosaur, an extinct group of aquatic reptiles. Per Wikipedia.

The Yeren is supposedly reddish-brown, kind of like an ape, and peaceful. Some theorize that it’s a new (hidden) species of Orangutan, or Gigantopithecus, or… because the forests where it is sighted also supposedly have ogres and werebears, maybe it’s just a legend after all. So, why bring it up here? Because, even though China and Japan are about as different as apples and goats, “Yokai” honestly can mean any kind of monster (similar to how “Anime” just means cartoon – so yes, Looney Tunes is marketed as anime). Sometimes foreign things get absorbed into the main Japanese canon, or are at least referred to as foreign Yokai – like Backbeard, earlier. So, essentially, the Yeren is a Chinese Yokai. Don’t think about it too hard. You’ll be fine.

Hailing from Patagonia, the Succarath is... well, maybe people saw a sloth, or an opossum, or a monkey, or something. And they were drunk. And everybody believed them.
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.

Great Escape
89 Six Flags Drive,
Queensbury, New York.
Washington County, USA.
(from Wikipedia)
Sasquatch is an S&S Worldwide combo drop tower at Great Escape in Queensbury, New York. It opened on May 10, 2009.
The ride was previously located at Six Flags New Orleans under the names Bayou Blaster and Sonic Slam; after the park closed due to Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the ride was moved to Great Escape. The current name is derived from the cryptid Sasquatch. The ride stands at 192 feet tall.
Ride History
The ride first opened in 2000 as Bayou Blaster and Sonic Slam at a new park called Jazzland. Then Six Flags took over the lease of the park in 2002 and changed the name to Six Flags New Orleans in 2003.
After Hurricane Katrina hit the park on August 29, 2005, the park was severely flooded from the hurricane and has remained closed since. Six Flags decided to relocate several rides, such as Batman: The Ride, which was removed in 2007 and taken to Six Flags Fiesta Texas where it was refurbished and reopened on April 18, 2008 under the new name Goliath.
The Bayou Blaster and the Sonic Slam were dismantled in 2008 and relocated to Great Escape, where the ride was refurbished, repainted, and renamed Sasquatch. The ride was officially opened on May 10, 2009 on the former spot of Rainbow, which closed after the 2007 season.
Ride experience
The ride contains two shafts or towers, a lift tower and a drop tower. On the drop tower, riders are easily brought to the top and then dropped extremely fast down most of it, then brought up not as high, then dropped at the same speed. This continues several more times before the ride ends. On the lift tower, riders are shot to the top in three seconds, then dropped not as fast as the drop tower drops, then brought back up at the same speed, then dropped slowly. This continues until the ride ends like the drop tower.
The correct name for the two towers are Launch and Drop. The Launch Tower shoots passengers over 150 feet (46 m) into the air in 3 seconds and slowly drops them down. The Drop tower launches passengers slowly and drops them in three seconds.
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.

just stomping my feet in some slush...
the name 'Sasquatch' (bigfoot) derives from the legendary 'sasq'ets' in a Halkomelem dialect.
the Sasquatch is a mythological being that resides in the Harrison River and Harrison Lake region.
The good ol' Sasquatch is important to the Chehalis First Nations people and is part of their culture, spirituality, legends, and history.
"Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is a supposedly ape-like creature purportedly inhabiting forests, mainly in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. Bigfoot is usually described as a large, hairy, bipedal humanoid.
The scientific community considers Bigfoot to be a combination of folklore, misidentification, and hoax, rather than a real creature.[2] Scientific consensus does not support the posited existence of megafauna cryptids such as Bigfoot, because of the improbably large numbers necessary to maintain a breeding population,[3] and because climate and food supply issues would make such purported creatures' survival in reported habitats unlikely. Nevertheless, Bigfoot is one of the more famous examples of a cryptid within cryptozoology, and a small minority of accredited scientists profess the view that evidence collected of alleged Bigfoot encounters warrants further evaluation and testing."

This build was inspired by medieval cryptids known as “wild men” or “woodwose,” which were very hairy humanoids who lived in the forest and shunned human society.
According to legend, hunters would attempt to capture these wild men by luring them with alcohol, getting them drunk, tying them up, and then trying to extract whatever secret knowledge the wild men might posses.
“It once happened in that country (and this seems indeed strange) that a living creature was caught in the forest as to which no one could say definitely whether it was a man or some other animal; for no one could get a word from it or be sure that it understood human speech. It had the human shape, however, in every detail, both as to hands and face and feet; but the entire body was covered with hair as the beasts are”
