I prefer his look in The Wolf Among Us, where he is complete with a joisey accent and antlered skull for a head. No match for the Big, Bad Wolf though.
Weird, huh? I love it.
Here’s another good one, and it’s full of cryptids for all I know.
That one fish from the Amazonian (candiru I think ?) that supposedly swims up the unwary traveller’s urine stream and lodges firmly in their urethra. Giant pile of NOPE.
Do I rightly interpret “Giant pile of NOPE” as meaning, “these stories are very much not true”?
I first read of the candiru (a biologically-catalogued, existent fish), in the published journals of the Briton, Percy Harrison Fawcett, who did much exploring in the darker parts of South America in the early twentieth century, before disappearing never to be heard of again circa 1925, in his quest for a mysterious / mystical lost city in the remote fastnesses of Brazil. Fawcett seemed in his writings, convinced that the candiru did indeed swim up the unwary traveller’s urine stream, and all the rest. However – there are some indications that Mr. Fawcett was inclined to a lurid, rather than common-sense, take on things. Wiki’s article on the candiru, takes the position that “all this is, if it has any truth at all, much exaggerated”.
Had the TV on National Geographic Wild yesterday, and one of the critters profiled on a show was the candiru! It’s very real…they even had footage of one of the little guys lodged in its…uh…natural habitat.
My favorite…Ogopogo.

Wendigo I read a story (maybe Scary Tales to tell in the dark…?) and I remember being horrified by a creature that would make you run so fast your feet would burn.
The new meme of black-eyed kids is creepy too
Amen to that - I LOVED that story. I still have those books in storage somewhere. I want to dig them out specifically for that story.
That said, I was actually a bit disappointed to learn that the actual mythology (this sentence sounds strange…) bears little resemblance to that story.
