      :galaxy-brain: I’m scared of chupacabras because they aren’t real and our imagined fears reveal our innately human instinctual insecurities. /s

        ah, i keep forgetting there's a related species in North America. Makes sense, though, you often see the same holarctic distribution with non-cryptid fauna.

        Ooh, another WV cryptid, I love the old Appalachian legends so I’m surprised I haven’t heard of this one

            I like how this one is particular is almost guaranteed to just have been a barn owl lmao. Here’s my take on cryptid sightings

            50% bullshit

            45% bullshit with a side of drugs

            3% undiscovered species

            2% classified military technology

            I enjoy the creativity that goes into the legends, and I love folklore in general, so I’m cool with cryptids even if I think they’re fake. Except the Insulindian Phasmid, one day I’m gonna go down in HISTORY for finding it :lt-dbyf-dubois:

          It shows up in quite a few video games - the aliens in Majora's Mask is probably one of my early exposures to it. Also, I just really badly wanted to plug that cool video.
