The first of a series of 26 cryptids, the Altamaha-ha was born in Native American legend, and is still said to inhabit the rivers and streams of parts of Georgia.
Jackalopes love to sing you know!
Also, I can't spell 'jackalope'.

Stories of the giant leporine cryptid were eventually traced to a grizzly bear named Hank in a rabbit costume and his wrestling buddy, a buck named Benny who like to team up and freak out hunters and hikers. Assembled in GIMP.

Instead of drawing the creature in full form I chose to draw him when he was born into mother Leeds family as he's beginning to change
This jackalope display at a Cabela's store in Nebraska really amused me: jackalope couple nuzzling as though in love! The male jackalope has antlers, but the rarely-seen female jackalope doesn't have antlers, of course.
Jackalopes are mythical creatures in the midwest, and I've seen them from Texas to Kansas and from Louisiana to Colorado. I don't think you could seriously call them "cryptids" - no one believes they exist. Well, no one in their right mind.
Taxidermy follies like this one remind me of "Fiji Mermaids" which are also mythical creatures created imaginatively from taxidermied animal parts. Fiji Mermaids are typically monkey torsos sewed up onto fish tails, with varying degrees of scaled skin put here and there...

I've always been an avid consumer of Icelandic folklore. So when Moc League 2023 rolled over and I saw that the theme was folklore/cryptids, I immidiately had an idea what to build.
So yeah, this is my much more monstrous take on Þvörusleikir. Whlist the other yule lads were annoying, Þvörusleikir's appetite wasn't sattisfied with a spoon here or there, no, a lust for spoons took hold of him. Now he goes so far to not just lick but steal spoons for the rest of the year to satisfy his evergrowing lust for the licks.
Cars mauled by a giant lizard? The Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp is an entity said to inhabit the swampland of the Bishopville, South Carolina area.. First reported in 1988, the sightings and damage attributed to the creature created a great amount of newspaper, radio and television publicity. Our guest Lyle Blackburn author of: Lizard Man: The True Story of the Bishopville Monster weighs in on the various sightings.
Listen to the full interview with Lyle Blackburn
The Pope Lick Monster is a legendary half-man, half-goat creature reported to live beneath a railroad trestle bridge over Pope Lick Creek in Louisville, KY. Is he an escaped circus freak or the product of an ill fated union between a local farmer and his goats? No one can be sure. Some rumors blame him for a train derailment. Some claim he frightens travelers into leaping from the trestle to their deaths, while others say he holds them down on the tracks himself ala’ Snidely Whiplash. Travelers beware! He lurks in wait……
I created this Pope Lick Monster for the “cryptid” prompt for Mab’s Drawloween Club 2018.

Jackalopes fighting! This was one of the coolest taxidermy pieces I think I've ever seen -- jackalopes, with antlers locked together as thought they're struggling in a male competition.
I saw this at a Cabela's store in Nebraska.
Jackalopes are one of the kookier things you can see in the midwest.
Cryptozoologists study animals which people theorize exist (like the Chupacabra), but jackolopes don't really qualify as cryptids because people don't believe in them. Well, most people don't.

I think there will be some yetis too and maybe a pink version of this :)
...or Yeti for short.
The Yeti or Abominable Snowman is possibly a creature and an ape-like cryptid said to inhabit the Himalayan region of Nepal and Tibet. The names Yeti and Meh-Teh are commonly used by the people indigenous to the region,[1] and are part of their history and mythology. Stories of the Yeti first emerged as a facet of Western popular culture in the 19th century.
There's a cryptid known as the "drop bear," which is a predatory and carnivorous koala. They're said to drop out of the trees to feast on the unexpecting victim.

I did some Google searching, and FUCK YOU, DAD - this article is from 2018, and people reporting for centuries that there's something wrong/evil about this stretch of road. So there's more to it than just some one-off in an 80s ghost book. How does stuff like this happen in random parts of the world? How do so many people have the same story/sightings over 100s of years? "How interesting, how BIZARRE..." (Royal Tennenbaums) Someday I'll go and see this road, AND Loch Ness, just to satiate my faggily curious 8yr old ghost/mysterious cryptid loving self.
