Description
A BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS VISITED, BROUGHT IDEAS, FAVORITED AND DOWNLOADED AS WELL AS THOSE TO COME! PROJECT CRYPTID CONTINUES TO GROW
Artist's Note: I get a lot of questions about adding the Mongolian Death Worm - it is already a part of the collection and has been for a long time now, right between the words in the title. I don't know if it's because people don't see, aren't looking, or just like to mess with me, so I'm putting up this note to assure any and all that the death worm is there.

The current layout for Project Cryptid
! I'm always working to better the look and basic design of each creature so suggestions and constructive criticism are always a help. What you see now is composed of five different generations of art style; some have been left unaltered to serve as a visual history of the constant evolution of this project since its initial start.Not everything here may be real, I won't argue the point of demon bats and such, but if it's mentioned in myth and lore or anecdotes and reports I'll probably draw it.

That's a good question, there's not very much written about it and the main reason it's really here is because of how weird it sounds 
Interestingly, there's a fictional beast with a similar name from Europe, though it has nothing to do with the former. [link]
In all, the enfield horror is an odd story but more than likely nothing more.

Im not sure if its the right category but have you heard of the 'beast of Bodmin moor' (which could just be the british big cat.) but there is also black dog of the British isles.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
BBC's (isn't that ironic!) do fall under "cryptid" though I myself wouldn't go that far with them. I've still not heard or seen anything on "Black Dog", but you're not the first to mention it so perhaps there's something to investigate there

Skinwalkers are from mythology and do not really fall in with cryptozoology. How the heck would ya draw one, anyway.

awwww I love cryptids
My most favourite is the Mongolian Death Worm cos if the abilities attributed to it are true (spitting acid,electric shocks out of its butt etc) that'd be so cool!
Rods aren't really cryptids are they?Haven't they been debunked by Japanese scientists who proved they were moths caught on poor CCTV?
Anyway nice sprites :3 Just about every cryptid I can think of

Lots of folks seem to like the Death Worm, it sure is a monster of a beastie

I thought Coelacanths still existed, or did you add it because they were thought to be extinct?
I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, just curious
This is really nifty by the way, I havent heard of a lot of these

You are correct on both counts

I'm guessing you mean the "chupacabra" from Cuero, Texas; that critter's already in the project, sorry

Actually the Cuero is a stingray-type thing from Lake Lacar in Chile.

OMG, there is no Manticore! Bute there is a centaur, so I'm good! But add a Manticore! Here are a few ref pages:

Manticore's a good suggestion right now because I just moved the "mythid" creatures over to their own project. Manticore'll be one of the first new additions to the new project

Yay! I love manticores, but there is another one I never know the name of...
