The likelihood of creatures as large as the okapi walking around undiscovered up to now is slim to none. As far as I know, this would be an entirely new word, describing those creatures which are (or may be) subjects of cryptozoological investigation.

It was well thought out and you do get a bit attached to some of the characters, so it's got decent character development as well. This movie resurrects a time when the story was actually more important than the cheap thrills and ridiculous gore that many films use today to bludgeon the audience into ignoring obvious plot holes and other weaknesses. It was only then the Komodo dragon truly left the realm of the cryptids and entered the world of established science.

Media coverage of purported "cryptids" often fails to provide more likely explanations, further propagating claims made by cryptozoologists. Cryptozoology is a pseudoscience, which primarily looks at anecdotal stories, and other claims rejected by the scientific community. Hill observes that the Young Earth creationist segment of cryptozoology is "well-funded and able to conduct expeditions with a goal of finding a living dinosaur that they think would invalidate evolution". A monster directly based on the Fresno nighcrawler appears on the my singing monsters fan made island, Cryptid Island in the form of fresnoir.

So, while I’m definitely not certain about this prediction, I feel like the current ambiguity of the soul possessing Bon may be leading up to a twist of some sort.

The alleyway GIF of the Fresno Nightcrawler was created by Youtuber Captain Disillusion by walking down an alleyway with a melon and then using digital manipulation to remove the top half of his body, his purpose to demonstrate how easily videos of cryptids can be falsified. With the help of a Harvard anatomist named Jeffries Wyman, he then released a formal description of the species dubbing it, Gorilla gorilla. as they reached the mountain-side, A wondrous portal opened wide, As if a cavern was suddenly hollowed; And the Piper advanced and the children followed, And when all were in to the very last, The door in the mountain-side shut fast.

Such an ability replaces one of the three abilities that increases the monster's power, or replaces unusual bane if it's detrimental. You might decide to give a specific mutant cryptid a unique mutant ability created just for that creature (or copied from a different creature).If it had a resistance to a different damage type from shifting iridescence, it replaces the old resistance with the new resistance. Also: any movie that has a lizard man that walks on two legs and eats humans -- and animals -- before hibernating instead of going with something easy like Bigfoot wins my heart. Besides Heuvelmans, Sanderson, and Mackal, other notable cryptozoologists with academic backgrounds include Grover Krantz, Karl Shuker, and Richard Greenwell. I'll very probably update this in the future, especially if this theory isn't immediately debunked upon episode 4's release.
