Description
The Bunyip is a creature of Australian Mythology that inhabits swamps and riverbeds. For a time it was considered by European settlers to be just another strange Australian animal, and assumed it to be the cause of any unfamiliar sounds or animal cries.Commissioned by

There are several descriptions of that creature, from a kind of creature like a finned bear, to a creature similar to a starfish that crawls across the earth. Is a very creative work

thank ya
yeah it seems like nobody could agree on what the bunyip really looked like, so there is a lot of creative freedom in designing it

I have the theory that the locals do not know that in that territory there could be different cryptids, and since the legend of bunyip is very famous, they have the belief that some of these strange creatures observed may be the "bunyip".
It's just a theory

that seems like a reasonable theory. I like the idea of an area full of undiscovered cryptids.

Thanks for that, in fact I think that some cryptids migrate from territory for seasons, perhaps following the prey and new hunting settlements.
