On the subject of Dwarves, I have visited a medieval German mine (I believe it was iron), and the tunnels are quite small. The friend I was staying with while I was there, who was my guide to major landmarks around Dresden, held the opinion that maybe dwarves come from a very practical tradition of miners being smaller men, they they didn't have to dig out bigger tunnels. This association may also explain why Dwarves are reputed to live underground, and are associated with mining.
not completely correct, the small miners were, as in Britain too, child labourers misformed by harsh working conditions and accidents. Greetings von der Nordsee! 😁
I have seen it speculated on Archives of Ecne's channel, and it seems plausible, that dwarves are probably just neanderthals interpreted mythologically.

biologist here with a fisheries management degree from Auburn University. Can confirm. Orange Alligators are real. And are caused when an alligator with albinism (which isn't as uncommon as you'd think)spends significant time in a river, pond, or lake that is stained with the red clay of south Alabama, south Georgia, and northwest Florida.
Siren Head was created by Trevor Henderson. You know, the guy who makes all those paintings of monsters super-imposed on real photos. I'm only saying this because it's pretty well-documented and I don't know how you missed it.

@@LucyWest370 well yeah, those are the 10% that are acutally based in fact to some extend, maybe not mothman as that seems to be more of a way to grab attantion, but there are absolutly cryptets that are based on sightings of real animals that were just missinterprited and then spun wildly out of reason with people theorizing about what it might've been or just straight up making things up for attantion
@@ryukrocks8843 i feel like it should be at least 40% truth 60% hoax because then you have stuff like the komodo dragon and platypus which actually were real
you forgot the 52-Hertz Whale. It's an unidentified species of whale that constantly calls at the unusual high-frequency of 52-Hertz. It was dubbed 'the loneliest whale in the world' because for many years it has attempted to find a mate but since no other whale calls in a frequency of 52-hertz, it was unsuccessful and was used as a metaphor for loneliness, introvertism and solitude. In 2016, the Korean K-Pop band BTS actually created a song dedicated to it titled 'Whalien 52'.
Isn’t it just an anomalous individual rather than a different species? It probably just had an odd mutation or condition that made its call the wrong frequency. I feel like it’s not really a cryptid any more than a bear with a shedding disorder is a cryptid. Weird as shit but not inexplicable or paranormal
With unicorns, a popular idea explaining their origin is that they're a misinterpretation of a rhinoceros or of a horned antelope seen from the side or faraway, or one missing a horn. If you think about the original description of a unicorn as a horse with a short stringy mane, lion's tail, and cloven feet then both of those make sense when you look at those animals.
i’m pretty sure that the noise the “Bloop” made was just a large iceberg breaking off of antarctica and falling into the ocean. still a very unsettling noise considering how loud it was
The absence of a Clurichaun on this iceberg greatly displeases me. For anyone wondering, Clurichauns are leprechaun like creatures who sneak into wine cellars and basements and chug all the alcohol before running anyway.
As a native Marylander, specifically to Frederick County, Maryland, I would like to thank you profusely for including the Snallygaster. Most all cryptid media forgets about this cryptid
even though there was an overabundance of west virginian cryptids on this list, i live in northern west virginia and have heard old guys talking about the snallygaster here too.
9:49 Thank you for talking of the Ogopogo legend! It’s a cryptid I remember growing up near its legend, even visiting the Okanogan lake several times, slightly fearful it was real, being a child at the timr
"I believe the Loch Ness Monster could be real" I think it was confirmed to be faked though. Also Siren Head is 100% fake, its not even a cryptid it's a fictional monster made up by an indie horror artist named Trevor Henderson.
Well according to some Buddhist tulpa-like principle, entities like Siren Head and Slenderman become real due to the collective energy manifesting itself into a physical entity due to mass fear of the concept.
Fun fact number 1: The picture used for the Wendigo is the same as my profile picture, so that was fun to see Fun fact number 2: There is an actual disorder called Wendigo Psychosis, which is diagnosed when someone has a strong desire to eat human flesh. I think I remember hearing something about it where the adrenaline the people get when they want to eat human flesh is so great, it gives them heightened speed, agility, and strength, all traits of the Wendigo. But when actually looking for that piece of information, I couldn’t find it. So I’d say the last part is debatable. The point is that Wendigos most likely exist, just not in the forms some artists interpret them in
My understanding was that the Wendigo was something of a rationalization for people who ate human flesh in, say, survival situations. The action was so abhorrent that it caused people to believe themselves to be these monstrous hunger spirits, or others to see them that way. Whether that was a literal thing that happened or just a story, I dunno.
@@yannickgrignon2473 yeah it's a real thing. People would be so disappointed and angry at themselves for consuming human flesh that their mind would try to rationalize it by saying they were taken over by an evil spirit so it wasn't their fault. Was a mental illness, not a horrible creature
Not even gone far enough into the iceberg but I really hope Slenderman or any other creepypasta is considered cryptids....like just please don’t they just scary stories from the damn web
@@justsomeoldyoutuber6093 Slenderman also by an artist, so not a cryptid. I guess if you give anything enough time, dumb humans along the line will forgot the origins of fantasy creatures making them cryptids.
Fun fact: The famous "Loch Ness Monster" photo is nearly always cropped. In the original, it's much easier to tell that whatever it is, it was fairly small.

the siren head is literally just a drawing from Trever Henderson. the fact that people still think its a real thing even though the guy is popular confuses me.
It's because Trevor is so good at creating interesting creatures that people want them to be real. Remember Long Horse? That's another Trevor Henderson creation
@Name.’s Pet Care: A utopia of pets I mean, it still is a tulpa. In any case, since you probably aren't a skilled psychic, you could only see it for a few seconds.
Ok, I could go on for a long ass time about megaladons but I'll just give the big reasons for why it doesnt exist anymore 1. The megaladon originally went extinct because it's food, whales, moved away into colder climates. This left the megaladon with very few food options to sustain such a massive, ACTIVE, predator. 2. If megaladon were still around we'd find their teeth, a lot of them. You can go to almost any beach around the world and you'll find shark teeth washed up. Shark teeth work like a conveyor belt, they are constantly being replaced, we would have found tons if they were alive. 3. Just because the deep oceans exist doesn't mean something moved down there. Megaladons were not deep sea sharks, and EVEN IF they became such they wouldn't make such vast vertical migrations to be visible on the surface. That kind of pressure difference kills creatures. 4. Yes there are arctic sharks, however they are slow, very slow, they have entirely different hunting techniques and prey to an ancient megalodon. And before it comes up, the tooth we found that's dated 10,000 years old has numerous issues in the dating, furthermore we again would have found MANY of these teeth.
When I was in 6th grade in year 2000. My friends and I used to pour over a Cryptic Monsters book I got from the mall and would go hunting for them in the forests near our house and make notes on our findings... I would kill to get those notes and weird stuff we found back, good times.
When I was I child, I would read about UFOs and was going to observe the night sky with a friend, we had lots of plans on choosing a tree for it, driving a pin in it as a stair, struggling with moskitos - the details like these.
concerning the "rods", the current explanation is that they are just insects caught in pictures with high exposure times, and the "trace" left by their flapping wings create that "wavy" appearance.
Literally most of the" rods" people see are Literally just bugs but then you see videos underwater and it's weird. But the ones caught on land literally are bugs your can make of the bug if the camera is good enough
@@Talgrawera They are gone, but we still have some pretty big ass snakes around here. On Amazonas state, Brasil, we found a 15 meter long sucuri(i believe the english is anaconda) when bombing a mine...

A few problems I had: Bloop is a VERY misleading thing. The sound we know is actually sped up incredibly. Was much, much longer and was an ice shelf that was grinding against the ocean floor De Loy's ape was a monkey (can't remember which kind) that had its tailed removed There was never any Fiji mermaid sightings. The thing itself was confirmed to be a taxidermy of a monkey and a fish Kappa were NOT innocent or polite. There was a legend that said a kappa could steal a person's soul through their an*s and were seem as malevolent demon like entities I'm 95% sure the scarecrow entry is just the main plot to the Goosebumps book Scarecrow Walks At Midnight The spores entry I'm pretty sure is from AvP Drop bears are just a thing Australians tell to dıck around with tourists XD it's kinda similar to snipe hunting Cameraman and Sirenhead everyone in the comments have already said enough so I won't even say more than that Interesting video regardless
Not saying your wrong about the drop bear, or "snip hunting being used as "hunt for a nonexistent animal" but genuinely Snikes are real xD its a species of bird. A quick look on Google show them
Hey its someone from Michigan here! The Michigan dog man should probably be a black moon since it was proven that it was a radio show story that was created as a prank back in the day. I'm summarizing it a lot but thats the gist! I loved this video keep it up :)
Made some lunch, sat down with a beer and watched this like a movie. Cryptozoology is so fascinating to me. There aren’t enough videos on the topic that are actually well put together. Would’ve enjoyed even longer segments on the individual cryptids. Great job man!
Oh I’d have to find the name of the guy but there is one that goes into the biology of vampires, zombies, werewolfs, and one other I can’t remember at the moment they are pretty interesting. I tossed them on at work one day
@@yvngtonyb I just looked back and it was someone by the name Thought Potato. He’s got a handful of really interesting Cryptid stuff. He’s even got one of Wendigos (can’t remember if that was the other bio one) but he’s got some good stuff hope you enjoy!
I agree, though some of them felt more like they belonged in a different video. For example, the hydra is a Greek myth, and while it could have had the explanation of fighting just a bunch of different snakes, people aren't reporting (proven fake or otherwise) sightings of hydras like they do with all of the different iterations of Bigfoot. I don't think it should have been in this iceberg, though I appreciate the fact that they give an explanation of what the story of the hydra was inspired by.
I worked as a english teacher in Turkey and Jinns are a reality there, actually even an issue, since some villages are empty because of them and turn into ghost villages because the Jinn took over it, they even have videos of people marrying Jinns, it`s really interesting
Feels weird saying that Sirenhead can possibly exist when the creator only made him in the last few years. :/ And him being a well known horror photo editor/artist, who has made it clear that Sirenhead was a creation of his own. He's practically a creepypasta oc creature without the label.
Black eyes kids were also a hoax. The guy who made up the tale got doxxed and threatened with murder by butthurt paranormalists when they realised they’d been plaued
I'm honestly so happy at how serious and respectfully you took this iceberg. I feel like it's easy for people to make fun of cryptids because it's obvious most are not real and could never be real. But many cryptids are culturally significant, or religiously significant- and I feel like cryptids tell us a lot about our pasts. Thank you for this!!!
most are not real or could never be real? the world is really big and holds lots of secrets i think half in these videos are real or are mabye exaggerated of true stories
We can be respectful and not believe in them Sure, they are culturally significant but that doesn't make it anymore or less realistic I think a lot of these moon are way too generous
@@326inminecraft they are but still, I just think it's nice to not make fun of people for believing in these cryptids and for him being a semi neutral person in retelling their stories for this video ☆
Y'know, it's true-- I'm generally up for "doing the homework tells you a lot of things aren't anything much" but I'm also very much up for the sociology of what that homework is and how those ideas stick around.
I mean unicorns COULD be just a misinterpretation of early humans when seeing a horse with a horn horses don't have horns, naturally, obviously, but some creatures can have small growths near their skulls that resemble horns, so the unicorn someone might have seen was just a horse with a growth on its head
@@MrRaxicorniopholus Yes! I heard about her too, that's the exact condition I'm referring to, not sure if horses can have that condition, but it makes sense so far
Also, no one had to "see" it for it to become a thing, the cyclops myth comes from the skulls of mammoths and elephants, that look vaguely humanlike wiith one huge hole in the middle where they eyes would be. Imagine an ancient person that domesticated both a horse and sheep or goats, and somehow the remains of a horse end up fossilized with one of the horns of the other animal VERY close to its head, and you just might think you discovered something amazing.
Local demon educates people about their bros to the people of the internet. But for real tho, some of these cryptids I’ve never even heard of until this video. I appreciate the effort that went into this!
perhaps they were just suffering the effects of the extreme amounts of radiation? this could explain why everyone who has had an irl sighting of the black bird of Chernobyl died later.
11:03 I feel like there's a tendency for people to take Native mythological creatures at face value. I can't speak for other cultures but for Kanienkehaka (Mohawks) our mythical creatures are representations of evil rather than creatures we actually believe exist. It would be like calling Medusa a cryptid.
yeah, I'm Navajo and a lot of people take one of our creatures. (I'm sure you know which one I'm talking about) at this face value like "OOoOOoo scary shapeshifter!" but they keep saying the name and if you spent a single second studying our culture you would know that we don't say the name for a reason. i just wish people would respect the culture that comes with that creature.
Many of these cryptids spawn from ancient cultures misinterpretating dinosaur fossils/bones. For example dragons and thunderbirds were most definately spawned from ancient peoples finding pterodactyl fossils or some other flying dinosaur
imagine the guy in the year 500 who just got done making his fursuit and accidentally made people scared for their and lives turning you into urban legend.
Im pretty sure drop bears are a joke legend made up by Aussies to scare tourists, so they panic or become overly cautious when they see a normal koala just chillin. 🐨
!!! READ BEFORE YOU COMMENT PLEASE !!! People have found some mistakes, the Okapi entry for instance. I just found out that the Okapi exists right after uploading lol. Also, some people were saying that Sirenhead doesn’t exist, which makes sense since the artist behind the creature said this. These two aren’t the only mistakes, but just try to look past them. One more thing, don’t let the moon system bother you to much. I have done a lot of research but there were a lot of entries on the iceberg so forgive me if not everything is correct :) I know some more cryptids might have been debunked (this is in many cases still debatable though...), but I didn't think it was fun to give so many entries a black moon. I love to speculate and theorize about these creatures, so that why, and I don't like saying something is not real. Anyway, thank you for watching and thanks for the support, love you all!
Hey Demon, idk if you know this but Vampires have been confirmed real, not exactly a different species, vampires can be human like Vlad the Impaler for example
So, okay, little known cryptid/mythos fact... Cerberus isn't pronounced with an S sound at the start. See, in greek- when spelt phonetically- Cerberus is spelt as 'Kerberos', which means 'Spotted'. ... Hades named his big, three-headed guard dog that can spew fire... Spot.
@@oenenwe incorrect, cerberus was never spelt kerberos, in Greek it used the Greek alphabet for its spelling (which i dont know) and in latin it was still spelt Cerberus, however the proper Latin pronunciation for "c" is always a hard sound, "k" never a soft sound "s" OP specifically said "in greek -when spelt phonetically-" also, i dont think that Cerberus even counts as a Latinization as its literally part of Latin (where it has the same definition as in greek) edit: also, cerberus was a common name for dogs back then, which makes it even more funny, now days we think of it only when referring to the Cerbeus though back then many dogs were known by cerberus
@@CalebCoolman are you familiar with the country of Greece?, because, they do in fact speak Greek in Greece but, if you are saying that ancient greek had different pronunciations then we know that because we know how greek was spoken from stuff written in both latin and greek which includes poems and stuff which when combined with our knowledge of modern greek and the pronunciations of other ancient indo-european languages such as latin which make the pronunciations clear
Hey, I saw an orange alligator once. I had no idea that was considered a cryptid, I thought it was just a weird color mutation, like a leucitic or albino alligator. It probably is just that.
the loch ness monster definitely shouldn't be a half moon bruh. the photographer of the original nessie picture confirmed that it was a hoax on his deathbed. also, there's no way plesiosaurs could survive to the cenozoic, especially just in one lake. cmon mane
The real Loch Ness monster was Aleister Crowley. He called himself Baphomet The Beast 666. And people used to refer to him as "The Loch Ness Monster". He used to own a mansion off the shores of Loch Ness and would hold Satanic parties there. Consisting of all kinds of debauchery. And not the cool kind like we're used to either lol
Well it could be a variety of things besides a plesiosaur. Plus during a dna analysis of Lock Ness lots of eel dna was found, so it could be a giant eel of some sorts.
Yeah, I gotta admit that I might be biased when it comes to Nessie, as it is one of my favorite cryptids. Still really hope some form of the Loch Ness Monster exists though
As a Native American… most skin walker stories stray away from what they actually are, when I was growing up I knew the skin walker was a person that was like a witch, the opposite of a medicine man. They simply wanted to cause trouble for people other than themselves
A very interesting underwater phenomenon is called "underwater gigantism" basically comes down to that most fish grow to match their environment for example gold fish in bowls will always stay small but fish in deep ocean where it's nearly empty they can grow up to a meter or two that might explain some of the giant squid and a sea serpent might as well be an eel that has gotten big.
That’s. Not how it works. Goldfish in small containers “stay small” because their growth is stunted, it’s just good old animal abuse. Pond goldfish are more likely to grow to their max size but they probably won’t reach a size way larger than what the species can be. If you bind your feet like a geisha, they’ll stay small and become misshapen, but not binding your feet doesn’t mean you’re gonna get huge sasquatch feet just because there’s nothing to contain their growth, they’ll just grow to a regular adult size, y’know?
@@ariariaris totally correct, though deep sea gigantism *does* exist. It functions in both a similar way you described as well as an evolutionary one that occurs as animals become larger to compensate for many of the factors at play in the deep sea. Basically, by increasing the space that is avaliable and giving time for evolution, animals slowly adapt and sometimes split off into their own species as they slowly move deeper over generations.

My DnD character has a pet Squonk named Henry Caville. He keeps it in his backpack because if too many people look at it, it will cry itself to death. It is one of my characters goals to raise it's self-esteem and make the first body-positive Squounk a reality.

the solway firth spaceman was debunked, actually! there was footage of the picnic the photographer was on that showed the photographer's wife, who wore clothes similar to the spaceman. in the picture, the spaceman is actually just the wife bending over to pick something up, with the hair on the back of her head being the visor

you forgot the 52-Hertz Whale. It's an unidentified species of whale that constantly calls at the unusual high-frequency of 52-Hertz. It was dubbed 'the loneliest whale in the world' because for many years it has attempted to find a mate but since no other whale calls in a frequency of 52-hertz, it was unsuccessful and was used as a metaphor for loneliness, introvertism and solitude. In 2016, the Korean K-Pop band BTS actually created a song dedicated to it titled 'Whalien 52'.
Isn’t it just an anomalous individual rather than a different species? It probably just had an odd mutation or
condition that made its call the wrong frequency. I feel like it’s not really a cryptid any more than a bear with a shedding disorder is a cryptid. Weird as shit but not inexplicable or paranormal
Pretty sure it’s just a blue whale
There is a recent documentary about it, they actually know now that there are atleast 2 52hertz whales and they are probably hybrids.

With unicorns, a popular idea explaining their origin is that they're a misinterpretation of a rhinoceros or of a horned antelope seen from the side or faraway, or one missing a horn.

As a native Marylander, specifically to Frederick County, Maryland, I would like to thank you profusely for including the Snallygaster. Most all cryptid media forgets about this cryptid

Fun fact number 1: The picture used for the Wendigo is the same as my profile picture, so that was fun to see
Fun fact number 2: There is an actual disorder called Wendigo Psychosis, which is diagnosed when someone has a strong desire to eat human flesh. I think I remember hearing something about it where the adrenaline the people get when they want to eat human flesh is so great, it gives them heightened speed, agility, and strength, all traits of the Wendigo. But when actually looking for that piece of information, I couldn’t find it. So I’d say the last part is debatable. The point is that Wendigos most likely exist, just not in the forms some artists interpret them in
So wendigo is a mental illness. Cool
Isn’t the only way to kill a wendigo is with fire?
Same goes for the zombies.
My understanding was that the Wendigo was something of a rationalization for people who ate human flesh in, say, survival situations. The action was so abhorrent that it caused people to believe themselves to be these monstrous hunger spirits, or others to see them that way. Whether that was a literal thing that happened or just a story, I dunno.
@@yannickgrignon2473 yeah it's a real thing. People would be so disappointed and angry at themselves for consuming human flesh that their mind would try to rationalize it by saying they were taken over by an evil spirit so it wasn't their fault. Was a mental illness, not a horrible creature

Ok, I could go on for a long ass time about megaladons but I'll just give the big reasons for why it doesnt exist anymore
1. The megaladon originally went extinct because it's food, whales, moved away into colder climates. This left the megaladon with very few food options to sustain such a massive, ACTIVE, predator.
2. If megaladon were still around we'd find their teeth, a lot of them. You can go to almost any beach around the world and you'll find shark teeth washed up. Shark teeth work like a conveyor belt, they are constantly being replaced, we would have found tons if they were alive.
3. Just because the deep oceans exist doesn't mean something moved down there. Megaladons were not deep sea sharks, and EVEN IF they became such they wouldn't make such vast vertical migrations to be visible on the surface. That kind of pressure difference kills creatures.
4. Yes there are arctic sharks, however they are slow, very slow, they have entirely different hunting techniques and prey to an ancient megalodon.
And before it comes up, the tooth we found that's dated 10,000 years old has numerous issues in the dating, furthermore we again would have found MANY of these teeth.
FINALLY, SOMEONE said it!
Thank you
Very interesting
Thank you, so many people are justifying megalodons exist in the deep sea and im sick of that

I agree, though some of them felt more like they belonged in a different video.

I mean
unicorns COULD be just a misinterpretation of early humans when seeing a horse with a horn
horses don't have horns, naturally, obviously, but some creatures can have small growths near their skulls that resemble horns, so the unicorn someone might have seen was just a horse with a growth on its head
True. I believe there is an 80 year old woman or something from a village that has a natural horn like growth on her head
@@MrRaxicorniopholus Yes! I heard about her too, that's the exact condition I'm referring to, not sure if horses can have that condition, but it makes sense so far
Also, no one had to "see" it for it to become a thing, the cyclops myth comes from the skulls of mammoths and elephants, that look vaguely humanlike wiith one huge hole in the middle where they eyes would be. Imagine an ancient person that domesticated both a horse and sheep or goats, and somehow the remains of a horse end up fossilized with one of the horns of the other animal VERY close to its head, and you just might think you discovered something amazing.

Hades named his big, three-headed guard dog that can spew fire... Spot.
Cerberus is the latinized version of Kerberos, which means it is pronounced with S.
You're both idiots its pronounced Feiary-auis
@@oenenwe incorrect, cerberus was never spelt kerberos, in Greek it used the Greek alphabet for its spelling (which i dont know) and in latin it was still spelt Cerberus, however the proper Latin pronunciation for "c" is always a hard sound, "k" never a soft sound "s"
OP specifically said "in greek -when spelt phonetically-"
also, i dont think that Cerberus even counts as a Latinization as its literally part of Latin (where it has the same definition as in greek)
edit: also, cerberus was a common name for dogs back then, which makes it even more funny, now days we think of it only when referring to the Cerbeus though back then many dogs were known by cerberus
How do you know that Cerberus is pronounced as Kerberos in Greek?
@@CalebCoolman are you familiar with the country of Greece?, because, they do in fact speak Greek in Greece
but, if you are saying that ancient greek had different pronunciations then we know
that because we know how greek was spoken from stuff written in both latin and greek which includes poems and stuff which when combined with our knowledge of modern greek and the pronunciations of other ancient indo-european languages such as latin which make the pronunciations clear
Hey, I saw an orange alligator once. I had no idea that was considered a cryptid, I thought it was just a weird color mutation, like a leucitic or albino alligator. It probably is just that.
drank too much fanta
How much xp do you think it drop
He had a side quest for you
Curry seagull
What’s the time stamp
You forgot the most popular cryptid Danny DeVito I swear I saw him in the woods
Real
He's not exist i believe
They also refer him as the "Trash Man" Or the "Orange Mustache Furry Man that speaks for the trees". He likes to offer an egg at trying times. :)
And then out of the corner of your eye you see him!
*Shia Labeouf*
Lol a vampire has as much likelihood of being real as a car
the loch ness monster definitely shouldn't be a half moon bruh. the photographer of the original nessie picture confirmed that it was a hoax on his deathbed. also, there's no way plesiosaurs could survive to the cenozoic, especially just in one lake. cmon mane
THIS^^^^^^
i was gonna comment this lmao
The real Loch Ness monster was Aleister Crowley. He called himself Baphomet The Beast 666. And people used to refer to him as "The Loch Ness Monster". He used to own a mansion off the shores of Loch Ness and would hold Satanic parties there. Consisting of all kinds of debauchery. And not the cool kind like we're used to either lol
Well it could be a variety of things besides a plesiosaur. Plus during a dna analysis of Lock Ness lots of eel dna was found, so it could be a giant eel of some sorts.
Yeah, I gotta admit that I might be biased when it comes to Nessie, as it is one of my favorite cryptids. Still really hope some form of the Loch Ness Monster exists though
He said it's his personal opinion not fact.
As a Native American… most skin walker stories stray away from what they actually are, when I was growing up I knew the skin walker was a person that was like a witch, the opposite of a medicine man. They simply wanted to cause trouble for people other than themselves
A very interesting underwater phenomenon is called "underwater gigantism" basically comes down to that most fish grow to match their environment for example gold fish in bowls will always stay small but fish in deep ocean where it's nearly empty they can grow up to a meter or two that might explain some of the giant squid and a sea serpent might as well be an eel that has gotten big.
Sea serpent as giant eels? Never thought of it like that but that makes sense actually
@@ryan.1990 I've put alot of taught in this theory so yes i sure hope it makes sence
That’s. Not how it works. Goldfish in small containers “stay small” because their growth is stunted, it’s just good old animal abuse. Pond goldfish are more likely to grow to their max size but they probably won’t reach a size way larger than what the species can be.
If you bind your feet like a geisha, they’ll stay small and become misshapen, but not binding your feet doesn’t mean you’re gonna get huge sasquatch feet just because there’s nothing to contain their growth, they’ll just grow to a regular adult size, y’know?
@@ariariaris totally correct, though deep sea gigantism *does* exist. It functions in both a similar way you described as well as an evolutionary one that occurs as animals become larger to compensate for many of the factors at play in the deep sea. Basically, by increasing the space that is avaliable and giving time for evolution, animals slowly adapt and sometimes split off into their own species as they slowly move deeper over generations.
True story the road kept falling in where my mom lives they sent divers in to check tht out they come out saying tht County didn't have enough money to pay them to go back in there the county sits on all caves and there was catfish as big as buses they said haha I say they was terrified since they attack on movement
We've officially found the plant version of the giant murder hornet that can't murder people.
I think it would’ve been nice to see or hear a short explanation on how you ranked each cryptids’ likeliness to exist.
Fr his ratings were so silly lole
Ancient astronauts being in the “maybe” position makes me just think this channel is dumb
AND THE MEN IN BLACK, TOO!
AND SHADOW PEOPLE BEING “LIKELY”??? WHAT THE HELL???
Ok orange alligator actually makes sense
Orange alligators are real, there was one outside my school once. Its the result of oxidization in the water covering an alligator and tinting it orange
Copper alligator got the bling

My DnD character has a pet Squonk named Henry Caville. He keeps it in his backpack because if too many people look at it, it will cry itself to death. It is one of my characters goals to raise it's self-esteem and make the first body-positive Squounk a reality.
Pog
I cannot fully express how much i love Henry Caville the squonk
The fact that such a sad creature has a full name and will cry to death if many people see it... is just too amazing.
Sounds like an SCP just less homocidal
@@gryphon8023 My character or the Henry Caville? Because Henry is a squonk which is a cryptid.
Absolutely loved this, I was doin the dishes while listening to this and kept hearing, "sand dollars" instead of centaurs and when I realized I almost spit out my coffee.
I can't believe people still think that platypuses are real
True none of these creatures exists, they were just created by bored people in the past for stories
I'm jealous of the platypus they get more pussy than any of us
@@hayleyt8397 Seriously? Platypuses are a childish story, no more real than ghosts or wendigos.
@@HB013b same with komodo dragon
@SQUISHYCANDYGUTZa mammal with a beak with feet of a duck.. Ok i guess they are ""real""
Bruh, okapis exist, they are a real animal
Yeah I see them at the zoo every time I go.
He found that out after he posted the vid lol
Killer cactus sounds like a cholla, they'll actually jump to you through static and it's really hard to get off
Sounds like a Mexican gang name or nickname
@@tio_prieto1693 Of course.
1:12:43 i used to see these in my dreams all the time when i was younger
Man sea serpent sightings are, in the overwhelming majority of cases, an Oarfish
Those things can get long, but they're also completely harmless
Or really big catfish, depending where people claim to see supposed sea serpents.
the solway firth spaceman was debunked, actually! there was footage of the picnic the photographer was on that showed the photographer's wife, who wore clothes similar to the spaceman. in the picture, the spaceman is actually just the wife bending over to pick something up, with the hair on the back of her head being the visor
“It can be a deformed fetus but it can be a cryptid” few of the phrases are almost like you joking with it like or shitposting it like i have a cryptid too the “drug addict gypsy with a heroin needle”
W-What?
He also brings up siren head and dragons?? I’m pretty sure be wasn’t 100% serious with this video.
Bro that's just Blaha Lujza tér at 3 AM
Yikes...
'drug addict gypsy with a heroin needle' sounds like a great line for an ACID BATH song
The mongolian death worm sounds like something straight out of pokemon
