Post your favorite mythological beings/creatures/cryptids in this thread. I'll go first.

1- Fearsome critters

This covers a few different ones but I feel I can lump these together. Fearsome critter stories stared within American logging camps as a way to haze new members and as a way to explain natural phenomena (loggers going missing late at night, strange sounds in the forests, having to be drunk on the job).

Some of them are maneaters and some of them mostly harmless but all are super wacky looking.

The hugag is my favorite

He's like a moose-camel-duck

2-Selkies

Selkies are creatures that can shapeshift between human and seal. Stories of this legend come mostly from Scotland, Ireland, the Faroe islands, and Iceland. A Selkie sheds their seal skin when they turn human and can only turn into a seal again with it. A lot of stories revolve around creepy moids waiting for selkies to turn into a human so that they can steal their seal skin and forcefully marry them. Real moid moment :marseyill:

I like the theory that the story of Selkies started when Finnish, Sami, and eskimos :marseyeskimo: came into contact with the Scottish and they simply believed them to be a whole other species.

3- Set animal

The Ancient Egyptian God Set was identified with this guy

There's not much else to say other than that they made up a whole new kind of animal.

There is a video from a few years ago where the wendigo is immitating a man screaming for help. I can't find it on youtube (it's full of fake wendigo videos) but the camera zooms into the wendigo and it's completelty still while making the help scream sound from its last victim.

No lol. I've never seen that show. It was a YouTube short that was probably fake but looked super real. It was in color instead of black and white and had clear sound.

I looked for it for like a minute, but it's lost in the algorithm machine now. It was like a half deer half man and looked realistic. Possibly the only YouTube scary video I've seen and been like "ok this might be real."

pretty sure you were talking about this:

it's much longer than I remembered so maybe it's not what you were talking about, but it's probably super similar. the part that made me think it's what you were talking about is about 3:00 min in, but watch the whole thing, it's good for a short film

Positive. It was a kind of grainy video that someone had taken on a phone and the wendigo was standing in a field.
