We’re three friends who like to pretend we know what we’re talking about, but we’re not here to tell you if these Cryptids are real or fake. We’d much rather argue about whether or not they COULD actually be out there somewhere, lurking in the recesses of the world, avoiding cameras, possibly sipping energy drinks or skateboarding. These creatures are going to have to pass our own high standards if they’re to be deemed plausible. Only one thing is certain: no Cryptid is safe from us.
