The Cryptid Iceberg is Making Me Violent

hello everybody and welcome to part five

of the crypted iceberg for anyone who's

new to the series we are going through a

list of 350 Cryptids to discuss their

Legends and lore and then eventually

rank them on my meaningless whiteboard

we've got another 20 Cryptids to talk

about today and I for one am excited to

get into it only thing I want to mention

before we get started is in part four I

made the words really big so you all

could see them before I make them

smaller to fit onto the tier list but

then after watching the footage back

over in the edit you all can read those

just fine so I'm not doing that anymore

and if you can't read those and you have

to keep rewinding through the video to

see where the names go and that's good

more add revenue for me and speaking of

Revenue I have a very limited offer for

those of you who are a fan of Cryptids

that you've probably already seen for

like one more week the Windon crypted

t-shirt is available for purchase not

only do we have a really cool design

with popular Cryptids like Moth Man and

Bigfoot and Nessie around this wood

setting but the material is also made

out of puff print it may be hard to see

on video but that means things like the

lettering and the trees and other things

around the image are made out of a very

comfortable plushy material that means

the shirt is high quality long lasting

and very comfortable and if that wasn't

cool enough check out the back of the

T-shirt as we have what appears to be a

tour schedule for various Cryptids with

the corresponding date being the date

the crypted was first spotted and at the

same time this is available the Windon

conspiracy Iceberg beanie is available

as well I want the design to be

something basic you could wear with

anything so besides just being a black

beanie it has the conspiracy Iceberg

logo on the very front that is even

glow-in-the-dark so these two items are

for sale for like another week and then

they're gone forever so if you want in

on either or both of them check them out

at the link in the description thank you

all so much for the support you've

already shown the merchandise up until

this point it really does support the

channel and lets me keep making these

stupid little videos for you so again it

means the world thank you all so much

for support and again if you're

interested Link in the description so

with all of that out of the way let's

get into more brain rod and if you're

happy that I can turn a list of like 300

weird animals into a 20-hour series then

be thankful for the sponsor who's making

it possible and that is today's sponsor

ag1 because not only does ag1 make these

stupid little videos possible thanks to

their support but it also makes the

stupid little you possible thanks to its

full body support that's because AG 1 is

our one and only comprehensive

foundational nutritional supplement

that's because ag1 contains things like

your daily dose of pre and probiotics

multivitamins immune support supplements

cognitive support supplements and

pills and doses you have to take every

day it is instead just one drink I

understand that being unhealthy is

pretty easy you don't have to do a lot

to let your body go to waste but now

thanks to ag1 you also don't have to do

a lot to make sure your body doesn't go

to waste cuz all it takes is 8 ounces of

water a spoonful of ag1 and you are

ready to go a1's been leading the pack

since 2010 and it's not hard to see why

considering how effective and easy this

drink can be I certainly don't eat a

diet of just things I'm supposed to and

considering you're watching part five of

a crypted Iceberg series I'm going to

guess you probably don't either I've

noticed my energy and overall

disposition being better throughout the

day not because it's like ag1 some kind

of stimulant or caffeine or something

like that instead it's just because my

body is finally getting the things that

it needs to be having and if you're

worried that this tastes awful don't be

because

ag1 tastes just fine it's mostly water

in here but what flavor it does have is

kind of like a naturally sweet flavor

and I enjoy ag1 along with my morning

coffee let ag1 do the hard work and

the most hope you all check them out

link is in the description and we are

back to the video we are going to go

ahead and get into it but as always

thank you for watching first up for tier

five we have the shovel headed whale

also known as the dimorphic beaked whale

this unidentified species of satation

was spotted around the Pacific coast of

Central America in the 1980s what is

unique about these sightings is not only

the specificity of the sightings

detailing coloration between different

members and even potential male female

distinguishment but the frequency as

over two dozen recorded sightings are

confirmed by local marine

biologists while it is likely a close

relative albeit comparatively sparse to

other be whale species the unique and

undocumented attributes of the creature

help make it to this Iceberg the shovel

headed whale is interesting because

aside from things like insects there's

not a lot of undocumented variations of

species in the modern world yet in the

1980s there was a series of sightings of

this one particular and unique kind of

well that has supposedly never been seen

again could this be the end remnant of

some genetic tree that has since gone

extinct could it be a unique coloration

of a known kind of well that the

connection between the two was just

never made who knows but either way it's

fascinating from a scientific

perspective from a crypted perspective

that is an immediate F tier it is just a

like beak well the thing that we know

exists and it's colored a little

differently in a region beat Wells

probably

are duh just like everything else down

in F tier it does not get bonus points

for maybe probably being real most

animals that exist are probably real so

sorry to all the Shovelhead whale

Defenders but this is not a safe space

so coming off of that unwarranted hatred

we have the kalanoro these bizarre

humanoids are said to inhabit the island

of Madagascar the kalanoro are said to

be short and hairy with fangs glowing

red eyes and backwards facing legs while

Legends outside of madag gasar describ

these creatures as malevolent with a

prosperity to steal and even kidnap

children

most local Legends describe them as

intelligent creatures capable of

granting humans mystical abilities

through wishes and implementation of

their hair several sightings in the late

1800s detailed encounters with the

creature and in 2006 a group of Navy

SEALs reported seeing a species of quote

unidentified Apes in the Democratic

Republic of Congo that many believe

match the kalanoro description from

Modern sightings to recurring Legends it

seems the tales of this small creature

are here to stay while initially the

curo matches a lot of other descriptions

from like South American or African

Legends of a group of people who live in

the jungle and are either very short or

covered in hair or what have you there

are some notable differences that I

think make it interesting for one the

glowing red eyes and the backward facing

legs is a lot of fun especially because

stories of people tracking the kalanoro

will often detail that they get lost

because they're following the track in

the wrong direction and yeah apparently

Lauren Coleman again the goat of crypto

zoology in 2006 released a story about a

bunch of Navy SEALs who said that they

were around the region and they came

across this group of like small primates

that walked around on hind legs and

appeared very humanoid and a lot of

people say This lends Credence to the

kalanoro stories it's really cool and I

like that the Legends kept alive it's

not super unique but I think it's Unique

enough so I'm calling it B tier which to

clar means I like it because B is on the

positive side of the spectrum I don't

know what kind of flashbacks you

teachers pets are getting out of fear of

seeing the letter B but B is a good

thing as is on the positive side of the

spectrum grow up after that we're moving

on to a pretty popular crypted or God I

guess the quatal codal also referred to

as Q or the wing serpent this giant

feathered serpent is one of the most

prominent deities in Aztec tradition

while much can be said about its

attributed godhood quat coto's role as a

crypted is equally interesting While

most known as an Aztec god Q has existed

long before the Aztec with many

communities in early meso America

hailing some form of bird reptile hybrid

perhaps then these people's unanimous

decision to bolster one image of

reverence wasn't spurred by decision but

by example perhaps the idols of quatal

codal are based on a creature known at

the time time but now extinct what

became of this potential Beast is of

course unknown but it wouldn't be the

only instance of Mega serpents within

the Americas so yeah yeah Q Wing serpent

deity in South American religions we're

all familiar with that involved a lot of

human sacrifice all that fun stuff but

it is yet another example of a community

or more specifically a religion taking

reverence of a giant serpent when

theoretically they should be separated

by tradition from other cultures around

the world that do that like for example

mesoamericans we wouldn't think would

have any interactions with say Southeast

Asian religions and one example we're

going to talk about in a bit but

nevertheless we see a lot of similar

faces and structures line up in their

religions all of that ties back into

Grand unified religious Theory and other

stuff I've talked about on the channel

before but what is most interesting

about the snake for crypted purposes is

again we see a group of people from

ancient times talking about these giant

snakes and given the legends of giant

snakes within South America and Central

America we've talked about earlier maybe

the reason they all decided to worship

giant snakes isn't because they talked

about it and came up with the idea but

maybe they saw an example of one and you

can go even further with that and say

that perhaps since we now believe a lot

of dinosaurs to be feathered or at least

partially feathered and be closer to

birds than like reptiles or something

then maybe were still existent dinosaur

species that early people saw that they

then incorporated into their Mythos and

blah blah blah you could take it as far

as you want so quatal not only works

well as an interesting crypted but as an

interesting example of where these

cultures and ideas came from so since

it's more of like a Mythos than a

crypted I can't really give it a tier

but it's pretty cool so I'll call it B

and also if you're wondering why I'm

including some things that are

explicitly from a mythology like I

talked about dwarves earlier quaz codal

and here in a little bit we're going to

talk about stuff from like Roman

mythology and stuff I mean really what

Cryptids are is American mythology right

or like stories of things like the the

Hoag and things like that that's a kind

of Mythology so if it's a creature that

was ever considered to be real I count

it just cuz I want to talk about it and

speaking of American Mythos next up we

have the tetr Thorns the torn is a

species of now extinct Superbird native

to the Americas their massive wingspan

could reach lengths of up to 25 ft and

weights of up to 200 lb dwarfing the

largest examples of still existent

flying birds naturally this begs the

question why if they were so dominant in

their class did they go extinct theories

range from Habitat to food sources yet

some believe they simply haven't

sightings of giant Birds above the

yandes clouds and legends of creatures

like the Thunderbird lead many to

believe that while scarce some members

of this species still roam the sky the

tetr torn is basically a historic

explanation to things like the

Thunderbird or to prove that creatures

that were at least Thunderbird adjacent

did at one point exist so while yes it

does have some aspects of some really

cool Cryptids like the Thunderbird at

the same time it's just a bird that did

exist that maybe still does and I get

it'd be it'd be more like a dinosaur

existing than it would something like

the th time still existing right so I

get that it's cooler than F tier but

it's still just a thing that did exist

that is argued to maybe still exist so

I'm calling it D tier and right after

that we have the glowing mud skipper in

June of 1986 Tyson Hughes a missionary

to Indonesia made a wholly unique

Discovery while on the serum Island

Tyson claimed to have spotted a large

cluster of mud skippers that glowed to

Bright pulsating red in the dim light of

the oncoming night Tyson attempted to

catch a specimen but upon approach the

mud skippers darted back into the water

never to be seen again to this day the

glowing mud skipper has never been seen

again but the detail of this one siding

leads some to believe a bioluminescent

species of mud skipper may exist in the

waters of Indonesia despite only being

seen one time the glowing mud skipper

has some plausibility right we know mud

skippers exist as amphibious creatures

and we know a lot of amphibious

creatures can have some form of

bioluminescence so it's not a huge

stretch to say that this creature might

be legitimate that being said it was

only spotted one time and as I just

explained this is a creature that could

very well exist and wouldn't change a

lot about society around us so for that

reason

it's I was going to say f tier but mud

skippers are kind of cute so D tier

after that we have another strange

little dude the agog way on appearance

the agagu of East Africa differs little

from Modern primates aside from reddish

hair and yellow skin this two to 5ft

tall specimen can be thought of as a

variant of chimpanzee their uniqueness

lies in their behavior as Witnesses

describe them as far more man than chimp

walking on two legs and carrying

themselves in fashion as a person in the

early 1900s several sightings by

explorers in areas such as the Congo

were confirmed with locals as The

elusive agag way supposedly this

creature an ancient ancestor of man

still exists in sparse populations in

the jungles of Africa the agagu are fun

there stories of British explorers being

on hunts and then seeing what they

initially think to be a person but then

upon closer inspection they see the hair

and see that it has very chimpanzee

features despite walking and appearing

as a person and you know being 2T tall

and then the locals have legends about

how this is a group of persons that at

one point was related to man but then

through Evolution or speciation or what

have you have branched in a different

direction so they're a lot of fun the

jungles are a very mysterious place it's

feasible to imagine a creature like them

could exist but at the same time it's

like another humanoid primate kind of

thing and this one doesn't do anything

special like the whole backwards legs

thing we talked about earlier so I'll

call it D tier kind of cute but cuteness

doesn't push you up that far as the mud

skipper found out and now completely

changing gears we have the ground shark

despite the name this is not a shark

that swims in the ground although that

would be cool the ground shark is

instead a giant shark reported to

inhabit the time War sea of the Indian

Ocean this Beast can grow up to 16 ft in

length and is said to lie on the ocean

floor ready to Ambush any prey that

swims overhead hence the name despite

sightings dating back 80 years confirmed

sightings have yet to occur some believe

the ground shark to be a massive variant

of the Australian carpet shark but

regardless of validity the fear

instilled by this Predator is all too

real the ground shark's interesting

because it's kind of in the middle

between two different possibilities on

the one hand this could absolutely be a

sailor's tail like not hard to imagine a

group of fishermen talking about a giant

shark that lot lies down underneath

boats and then if anyone swims ahead it

comes up and grabs them at the same time

we know there are sharks that do things

similar to that like as mentioned the

Australian carpet shark so maybe it was

just deciding of one of those that the

lengths of which were exaggerated or of

course there is a third option that

there could just be really big carpet

shark out there it's not like we've

never seen a shark reach lengths of 16

ft we just don't see that many super

predatory ones reach lengths of 16 ft

but it could be possible since it's not

that far out there I'm going to call it

D tier but think of it as like a D+

because the idea of like a shark trapo

spider is pretty scary after that we

have Murray Papa New Guinea holds Legend

of this massive amphibious Beast located

near Lake Murray missionaries and locals

alike reported sightings of a tall

scaled monster with a massive head legs

long neck and teeth sightings of this

Beast became so common that in the '90s

after multiple reports of Murray eating

locals Pets the police sent six officers

into the region to find the beast but

nothing was found in June of 2000

missionaries went to the region to

confirm these reports but again nothing

conclusive was uncovered sightings

continue to this day and theories

persist of Murray being a unique breed

of crocodile or even a still existent

species of dinosaur I like Murray

Murray's a lot of fun especially

compared to some of the Cryptids we've

talked about in this section however it

is still at its coolest a dinosaur I was

reading the descriptions of Murray and

they would say like oh its legs were the

size of tree trunks or oh its teeth were

this sharp and it would eat animals and

then you realize they're kind of just

describing a T-Rex as a matter of fact

there was one report from missionaries

who said they went to the region the

missionaries who were trying to uncover

if the sightings of Murray Could Be

validated or not and apparently they

showed locals pictures of dinosaurs and

the locals reacted like yeah that's

Murray so in my head I just imagine them

showing like the T-Rex animatronic from

Jurassic Park they're like yeah that's

the guy at the same time though like we

see really big crocodiles in the wild

which are basically dinosaurs so the

idea of like a reptilian species in an

area like Papa New Guinea isn't

completely unfounded and objectively the

idea of police officers hunting down a

t-rex with rifles is pretty funny so

I'll put it right in the middle of the

road and call it C tier and sticking

with water born Cryptids after Murray we

have Alti among the pantheon of North

American nessis we have Alti of the

altamaha River Georgia aside from

characteristics such as its rided

sturgeon like body Alti holds an

appearance similar to most basur

adjacent Cryptids natives of the region

held Legend of a monster within georg's

rivers and some sightings report the

creature as 30 ft in length Alti finds

itself at home with America's aquatic

Legends and before I say another word

immediately F tier and it's not Al's

fault that it's F tier I'm just done if

I see one more river or lake in the

United States that just copy paste the

Loch Ness monster onto their River

they're all going to f tier if I came

across the Ogo Pogo or champion at this

point they'd be down there too they

they're all the exact same thing there

is this river that the Native American

Americans reported Legends in because

apparently we never came up with the

monster ever that wasn't based on Native

Legends which is partially true but

there was never a group of Native people

who had a monster and were like well

actually it's pretty similar to the one

over in Loch Ness England like no no one

ever said that and then you start

reading descriptions about their river

monster and it's always a really long

neck and has a wide body and it's got a

head that's like the size of a horse and

they're just describing a plesiosaur

because what happened is like back in

the ' 50s people saw all the tourism

Loch NES was getting so then they

started doing that in the US and then

every Lake in the country apparently

decided to just say they have a Loch

Ness monster and look I love the idea of

towns having monsters but come up with

something original last time we talked

about how Brazil they've got the map

mapin guari or however you pronounce

that as like a giant like okay they

wanted to have a Sasquatch thing so they

give it a giant Cyclops eye and it's got

a mouth on its belly and it runs

backwards and kills people great

fantastic more of that stop just

stealing other people's

Cryptids like just just make something

up that's that's the whole point just

say it's like a catfish but it's got

like human feet for some reason and it

only comes out when it's raining and you

you could say it has to drink fresh

water right so whenever it rains it

comes up to drink water and then it

walks on the banks and then goes back

into the lake so then you have a fun

little game where anytime someone sees

footprints on the side of a like Lake

Shore they could be like oh look it's

it's the catfish foot thing I'm just I'm

at I'm at my limit that's my new policy

if there's any other loch nest monsters

in this list they're going to f tier and

if I see a lot more of them I'm going to

drag the Loch nness Monster and

everything else adjacent to it down to F

tier cuz I'm done so off the back of

that Tom Foolery we're going to move

into something that's very serious and

important like the shug monkey this

British crypted is believed to be a sort

of ghost or demon whose appearance

resembles that of a dog monkey hybrid

located near slow Hill stories exist of

this creature terrorizing Travelers who

find themselves alone on the road after

dark sightings were quite popular in the

late 1800s and early 1900s with many

classifying the shug monkey along with

other spectral creatures of Great

Britain like the man monkey and Hound of

Baskerville as such the demon is among

the feared entities that stalk the roads

of England after dark so in isolation

the shug monkey pretty cool right it it

hits that sweet spot that I think some

of the best Cryptids do where they give

you a particular fear of an instance or

an event that could happen like it

stalks the roadways of the UK after dark

so if you find yourself alone on a road

after dark it would pop back into your

head and you're suddenly afraid of it in

that moment I think that's pretty cool

that being said

England is a little bit full of

themselves because like take for example

the United States right we'll have a

crypted that spans like an entire

mountain range or like five different

states or sometimes the whole continent

right but England is like the size of

one of our smallest states and it's got

like 12 different Cryptids that all do

the same thing like we talked about the
