[edit] Perhaps some items should be removed from this list
Why are what "appears" to be completely mythical creatures (and not really thought to exist by some individual today) in this list here.
Example of what should be here: Thunderbird (cryptozoology) which has almost zero possibility of being real, but not completely zero to all ... so the realm of this st and should be here. Please see this text I found directly in this article ...
This article deals with modern sightings of such a creature, reported as real, as opposed to clearly mythological accounts, though believers in the phenomenon often use the Indian legends as further evidence for their claims.
Example of what should not be here: Hellhound, which is purely mythological and does not belong in the list of potential Cryptids. Here is some text I found in that article ...
The myth is common across the UK, and many names are given to the apparitions: Black Shuck of East Anglia, Moddey Dhoo of the Isle of Man, Gwyllgi of Wales, and so on.
So, am I missing something in these articles here? 206.127.114.34 03:53, 29 September 2006 (UTC) Kracker
- Some hellhounds are believed to be real flesh and blood creatures by local populations, no different from say Bigfoot or Ogopogo. There are legends aout both Bigfoot and Ogopogo that impart supernatural powers to them and yet they are both considred Cryptids. There's unfortunately a lot of cross-fertilization between legends and cryptids. Hard-line Skeptics consider ALL Cryptids to be legendary. I would argue that we should err on the side of inclusion.
