Any cryptids or legends you’d like to see in a fantasy story?

[BernKatstel]

I am curious. Is there any you’d want to see implanted, apart from the common ones like vampires, dragons and sirens?

I think they are cute

Wechuge. They're like Wendigos but ramped up to 11.

Mummies. Doesn't need to be Egyptian ones but it'd be a nice change for an undead that isn't just vampires.

SCPs, Eldritch Outer Gods, Biblically Accurate Angels, and some weird incomprehensible intergalactic beings like ORT in nasuverse

if we talk about legends, then John Cena

Oh, so that’s what those are called. I thought they were just wendigos too

Yeah, they're very similar (from appearance to behaviour), just from different tribes. I think the only real difference is the Wechuge is more intelligent and craftier which makes them more frightening (IMO anyway).

Not an scp or cryptid but my favourite doctor who monsters. The weeping angels and the Vashta nerada there is something about enemies hiding in plain sight that excites me.

Valid. I love weeping angel type monsters

Huh, why goatmen? This one I didn’t expect at all to be mentioned
