Upright. Bipedal. Uncannily close to human. These are the cryptids that haunt us most - because they look back.

Long. Sinuous. Without legs. Serpentine cryptids have been reported in rivers, lakes, and open ocean for millennia.

Dog-shaped but wrong in some fundamental way. Too large, too intelligent, standing where a dog shouldn't be.

Big cats that shouldn't exist where they're seen. Black panthers in England. Mystery cougars in the Midwest.

Wingspans that defy known biology. Seen at altitude, gone before confirmation. No nest has ever been found.

Scaled. Cold-eyed. Survivors of something old. Reptilian cryptids often appear in regions where prehistoric fauna once dominated.

The deep is not empty. Aquatic cryptids occupy every body of water large enough to hide something - and several that shouldn't be.

Multi-limbed. Compound-eyed. Cryptids with insect characteristics are rare, but the encounters are impossible to forget.

Oversized. Impossible to overlook. Giant mammal cryptids represent the most credible category - we keep discovering new large species.

No fixed form. Shapeshifters and trickster entities are reported across every culture. Whatever they are, they don't stay still.
