What are some cryptozoological and or weird creatures that almost no one talks about? I'm looking for things like, the Loveland Frogs, or even more less known ones. Basically I'm looking for new critters to read about.
Benjo Koolzooie
Yeah I know I have been searching for such things too. Will mention it if I find anything.

I found this link. Nothing special, but thought I would post it anyway. It is to do with serpents mainly however.

Naveed
Great links astrocreep. I'm currently checking out the rest of the site. It seems to be full of all sorts of crypto-wonders.
Mutant Snake
All sorts of creatures fell into obscurity, I probably never heard of most of them. sad.gif

Hey the site forgot about Englands Owlman.
Astrocreep
What disaster did the Owlman bring since it is one of the things like the Mothman?

Mothman: A bridge in Point Pleasent collapsed

Black Bird of Chernobyl: The Chernobyl explosian

Chinese Man-dragon: Dam collapse

Freiburg Shrieker: A mine in Germany collapsed

Crimean War Monstrosities: cause of the bloodiest battle of the Crimean War

Owlman: ???

i notice all of those concern some very unstable or dangerous place, like a dam, nuclear power plant, bridge, and mine. this could be veiwed as a proof they exist(they hang around dangerous places and bring doom) or a disproof( dangerous places are accident proned, doom bringers are only exuses for tragedy).

Has anyone heard of Batsquatch, the Bigfoot that has wings
shirini
hmmmmmm, never heard that before. where did you hear about? do you have any other info?
Mutant Snake
I have heard of many worse things than that.
shirini
i don't know if this fits here, but you guys heard of Andrew Cross, he created life! it's a worm type thing, i read that mary shelley was inpspired by his work! i try to find the link!

The Gollum is another creature , it is said that a rabbi created the gollum out of clay to defend the Jews from their enmaies. the glloum went around eating the enamies and got so big that, but here the story gets foggy, 1 version says that the gollum killed the rabbi that created him and the other says that rabbi took the gollum under his wings and taught him to live among us and eventually died.
Astrocreep

The windigo is canadas evil version of bigfoot, natives think its an evil spirit. dover Demon isnt well known now because it was only seen like 3 times a long time ago.

It's a Japanese water demon... at least according to legend.

It's head is like a bowl and holds water while it's supposed to have a turtle like body and a beaked face.

I remember reading about them, Kiirin (the Orient's version of the Unicorn) And dragons in story books as a kid.

Gods... amazed I remembered the details for the kappa.

A Kiirin has a horse like body, and a curved gold horn. Instead of fur it's covered with scales. they're supposed to live in the clouds with the dragon, and are more visious than the Unicorns of Europe.
