Cryptids
The Tumultiverse is home to all manner of strange creatures - more of the bizarre kind than the regular. Despite this, people still feel a need to invent new ones. Some become infamous, like skunk kong or the incredible croaken. Others become famous, like the legendary Loch Mess hamster.
The cryptid here is actually a species of shapeshifting creature that (allegedly) pose as small sail boats to lure unsuspecting lake monsters back to their murder grottos
The fact that so many fiẻnds, monsters, and faër exist means most can't keep track of what's real. Still, there are a few cryptids that everyone knows don't exist - generally the ones that get spoken about on conspiracy shows like Secret Lore or Ancient Thingies.

List of Cryptids
It's unclear how many cryptids there are. It's especially difficult to work out because when you discover one they're technically no longer a cryptid. So, thinking about it, it's very clear how many exist. It's zero. And this is the list of them.
The Croaken
Unlike the very real krakens, croakens don't live in the sea. According to rumours, they're giant, tentacled toads that emerge from small ponds and steal anglers' prize catches. More than one fisherman has sworn he caught a record-breaking catfish only for the croaken to appear and steal his glory. 100% of them were lying.
The Loch Mess Hamster
Loch Mess is a lake in the northern nation of Scotia. Despite the name, it's actually an area of natural beauty - the only thing marring it being the weirdoes out hamster-spotting. For years people have reported seeing the beast surfacing in the water. The vast majority of these people were:
Drunk.Lying.Afflicted with a rare medical condition that makes them imagine giant space hamsters.
Montauks
These mysterious beings look like bears with beaks. They've appeared throughout folklore for centuries, and also crop up in The Quest Factor!

Skunk Kong
Rumours of a giant, stinking ape first began in the United States of Blargh when several rural areas began experiencing a phenomenon known as 'the stench'. It later turned out these rumours came from a company dumping smelly magickal refuse. Unless of course that's what they want you to think, and skunk kong is real.
IT'S NOT PARANOIA IF SKUNK KONG IS OUT TO STINK YOU!
