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.

Quite a few on here I didn't know of! They all look very nice, and I'm loving your Tatzelwurm. One of my favorite critters.

Thanks, I'm glad you like how that one came out, it's one of my favorites, too
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I've got a few for you:
Yowie (Australian Bigfoot)
Black Shuck (1-eyed Black Dog monster in England)
Alma (Russian Bigfoot, or Wildman)
Nandi Bear (Chinese man-eating bears)
Jeb (Talking Mongoose)
Jackalope (Deer-Antlered Hare.)
Fur-Bearing Trout
Hodag (similar to Fur-Bearing Trout but more monstrous)
Flatwoods Monster (creepy humanoid woods monster in America)
Pennalgalan (Brazilian vampire which is the floating head of a woman, with its entrails hanging from the neck.)
Mokelem'bembe (Swamp-living Sauropod dinosaur said to live in the Congo.).
Oh, and maybe my favourite - Mongolian Death Worm (does what it says on the tin)
Nice selection of cripids by the way, I love cripids.

The Pennalgalan sounds like a real nightmare 
The mammoth is up there due to sporadic reports of mammoths seen alive on the remote tundra lands of northern Russia, although they've never been substantiated
Mokele and the Almas are in that jumble but they're both getting a new look so I'll bump them up the To-Do list. The Death Worm is also kinda hard to spot, I should probably take it out from between the words of the title.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, and people honestly lived in fear of them. 
Oh, really? That's very odd, but it'd be awesome if Mammoth did still live in Russia.
Oh yes! I noticed them just after I mentioned them, and the Death Worm is too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No worries, I'm told all the time that I'm missing this or that. I should really keep a running tally of presented cryptids/mythids. You're right on with the Fiend Folio, too (self diagnosed monstrophile 
Did you know that you can get mammoth steaks off the flank of a frozen mammoth for the right price? Talk about a well-aged steak
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That would be a good idea, then you could keep trap of them all.
Wow, I never knew that, I thought the remains would be too rare and valuable to be eaten.

Glad that you like it

Holy Sweet Raptor Jesus, this is amazing
May I toss in the "Marozi" as well?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank ya. Yup, the Marozi is on the way

You are awesome! This picture is awesome! Cryptids are awesome!
But the reason you are awesome is because you included MOA! Woot! Moa are still alive!
Awesome pic again, buuuut, add Burrunjor Jba Fofi and Mammoth!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well thank ya!
Moa, Thylacine, they're out there somewhere in the gloom. There is a Mammoth included but it's squashed down near the bottom left-hand corner, a lot of jamming for space. As for Burrunjor Jba Fofi, nothing comes up in a search and I've never heard of such a thing before; do you have a link or anything that I could check out?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh woops lol, Jba Fofi and Burrunjor are two different cryptids, sorry for the confusion. Keep up the awesome work dude!
