Q & A
这个系列视频讲述的是什么内容？
-这个系列视频讲述的是对350种神秘生物（Cryptids）的讨论，包括它们的传说、传说背景，并最终在白板上对它们进行排名。
在视频中提到的Windon Cryptid T恤有哪些特点？
-Windon Cryptid T恤具有酷炫的设计，包括蛾人、大脚怪和尼斯湖水怪等流行神秘生物的形象，背景是一个森林。此外，T恤的材料采用了puff print技术，使得图案如字母和树木等部分是柔软的毛绒材质，提高了穿着的舒适度和T恤的质量。
视频中提到的AG1是什么？
-AG1是一种全面的基础营养补充剂，包含益生菌、维生素、免疫支持补充剂和认知支持补充剂等。它简化了日常补充多种营养的流程，只需将AG1与水混合饮用即可。
Shovel Headed Whale（铲头鲸）的神秘之处在哪里？
-Shovel Headed Whale神秘之处在于它是在1980年代中美洲太平洋沿岸被目击的未确认种类的鲸鱼，其特殊性在于目击者详细描述了不同成员之间的颜色差异，甚至可能的性别区分，以及目击的频繁性。这表明它可能是已知鲸鱼种类的一个未被记录的变种。
Kalanoro（卡拉诺罗）的传说有何独特之处？
-Kalanoro是马达加斯加岛上传说中的小个子、多毛、有獠牙和红色发光眼睛的生物，它们有着向后的腿。虽然传说中描述它们具有恶意，但大多数当地传说将它们描述为能够通过愿望和使用它们的毛发赋予人类神秘能力的智能生物。
Quetalcoatlus（奎特翼龙）在神秘生物学中的地位是什么？
-Quetalcoatlus在神秘生物学中的地位非常有趣，它不仅是阿兹特克传统中的一个突出的神祇，而且在早期的中美洲社区中，它作为某种鸟类爬行动物混合体的形象也被广泛赞誉。这表明古代人们可能真的见过类似的生物，并将它们的形象融入到了他们的神话中。
Teratorn（泰坦鸟）的灭绝原因是什么？
-Teratorn是一种已经灭绝的超级鸟类，它们的巨大翼展可达25英尺，重量高达200磅。关于它们的灭绝原因，有多种理论，包括栖息地丧失、食物来源减少等，但也有一些传说认为这种鸟类并未完全灭绝，仍有少数个体在天空中漫游。
Glowing Mud Skipper（发光泥跳鱼）的目击记录有哪些特点？
-Glowing Mud Skipper是在1986年由传教士Tyson Hughes在印度尼西亚的Seram岛发现的，他目击到一大群泥跳鱼在夜晚发出明亮的红色脉动光芒。当他试图捕捉样本时，这些泥跳鱼迅速逃回水中，从此再也没有被看到过。尽管只被目击一次，但这次目击的细节使得一些人相信印度尼西亚水域可能存在一种生物发光的泥跳鱼种类。
Agogwe（阿戈格维）的描述和行为有何特别之处？
-Agogwe是东非传说中的生物，外观上与现代灵长类动物相似，除了红发和黄色皮肤。这种生物身高2到5英尺，被描述为比黑猩猩更像人类，能够双腿行走并以类似人类的方式携带自己。在20世纪初，有多次由探险家在刚果等地区确认的目击记录，当地人认为这种生物是古代人类的祖先，仍然在非洲丛林中以稀疏的种群存在。
Ground Shark（地鲨）的传说背景是什么？
-Ground Shark是印度洋Time War海域传说中的巨型鲨鱼，据说能够长到16英尺长，并且躺在海底伏击任何游过头顶的猎物。尽管有80年前的目击记录，但至今没有确认的目击发生。一些人认为Ground Shark可能是澳大利亚地毯鲨的巨大变种。

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
instead of being a bunch of different
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
start taking care of your body the way
that you deserve and if you're looking
to get in on this boost to your health

sponsoring the video it really does mean
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
man monkey which is a dark figure that
kind of resembles a monkey and stalks
people on the roads at night and then
you go like like 80 M away and they've
got the shug monkey another dark crypted
that is kind of monkey like that stalks
the roadways and terrorizes people at
night and again while I think in
isolation the shug monkey's cool and the
name's pretty funny I can't put it at B
tier with the man monkey because what
it's similar to the the Loch nness
Monster thing we just got copy paste
going on they don't all get credit for
being the original and I don't know
which came first the man monkey or the
shug monkey but in this series The Man
monkey came first so he stays at B tier
Shug monkey's getting called C any other
English monkey like spectral things that
attack people at night is also getting C
tier until I start throwing them at F
cuz I get mad once again come up with
your own stuff you don't get credit from
just taking someone else's crypted and
then moving it a little bit so moving
away from my frankly absurd level of
negativity a little bit next up we have
a pretty fun one the sea monk also known
as the sea Bishop this bizarre being was
spotted on the coast of Danish Island
New Zealand in
1546 as the name suggest the aquatic
creature is suggested to be a fish that
resembles a stereotypical monk the
sighting became so famous that it worked
its way into multiple European Legends
and poems with stories arising of the
creatures encounters with members of the
church and its reverence to God for
centuries most believe these sightings
to be that of a large squid species
given their unique shape however
sightings as recent as 2011 suggests
there may be more to this encounter than
mere misidentification the seam Monk's a
lot of fun it's also a fun way to view
how a lot of our reports from history
maybe got misconstrued because people
who depicted the creature weren't
actually the same people that saw it so
we have an Explorer in 1546 who says he
saw a fish that looked kind of like a
monk so people make a fish monk thing in
their depictions and historically that's
what it's viewed as when in reality he
was probably looking at a squid which
yeah if you had never seen a squid
before and you're trying to describe its
shape to someone else you may say it
kind of had the positioning of a bishop
or a monk but what made it so popular is
it worked its way into a lot of stories
and mythology around the time there's
one story I read about um there was a
group of priests who came across one and
the Sea monk asked to be released so
they release it back into the water so
the sea Monk comes to the surface of the
water and does like you know the the
cross thing and then swims away so again
there's a lot of fun to be had with it
as a crypted not really that cool
because again it's just a squid more
than likely but it's still neat and that
narrowly saves it from F tier so yeah
it's D tier because once again just a
squit and after that we have mahamba
mahamba is the super croc of the
Democratic Republic of Congo while its
appearance matches that of a regular
crocodile its size does not as the
mahamba is said to reach lengths of over
50 ft the natives do not hold the animal
as a crypted or Legend but instead a
very real threat that must be feared and
avoided with Legends of this Behemoth
swallowing waphs and victims set to
Tunnel beneath the Riverbanks and
consume any flesh it can find the
mahamba is a reptile as feared as it is
massive so classic super croc we're all
on the same page crocodiles can get
really really big uh big enough that
they're resistant to things like gunfire
or you know screaming people so
naturally there's a lot of Legends of
Mega variants of the creature ones up to
50 ft in length it's something to be
feared and with good reason that being
said it's still just a big variant of a
creature that we already know exists but
it's also a scary and cool variant so
I'm calling it C tier and after that we
have the periton the periton is a
majestic creature from mythology set to
Once inhabit Atlant
described as having the front half of a
deer and the rear half of a bird the
pertin was a beast said to kill humans
and were even told to lead to the
downfall of Rome the creatures are
believed to be the Lost Souls Of Sailors
who died away from home as Legend has it
they cast the shadow of a man before
their first kill after which they cast
their own shadow despite the myth
Origins being unknown it is unlikely
this creature originates from real
sightings however as it is an animal
whose existence is reported it
technically counts and most importantly
it's cool the peron's fascinating
because most of the stories we have
around it came from a French author in
like the 1500s who compiled a bunch of
Legends and remnants of the creature
that were found in Old mythology it's
even debated which culture originally
came up with the mythology if it was
something from the Greeks or the Romans
but the idea of a stag bird hybrid
that is the soul or like wretched soul
of someone who died away from home and
then it returns back to its Homeland and
kills people perhaps out of jealousy or
evil or corruption and it casts a shadow
of a human until it kills something then
it fully becomes the creature and cast
its own shadow that's just really cool
and also it has antler so I couldn't not
put it on the list not really a crypted
uh but it's neat so I'm going to cheat
and call it D tier after that we have a
crypted that is certainly real and a
personal favorite of mine the Tennessee
wild man in the 1800s within McCary
County Tennessee Legend has it that a
humanoid Beast was once caged and forced
to perform at local freak shows until
one night when it burst free and took to
the hills of the Heartland while many
equate the wild man's appearance to
Bigfoot his true appearance is far more
humanoid resembling a 7ft tall human
covered in hair with horrid red eyes it
is said to stalk those alone in the
woods and is identifiable by its putrid
odor the creature is known to attack
women and animals and with sightings and
even hunts for the creature occurring
within the past decade perhaps some
humanoid Heathen stalks the Tennessee
Hills the wild man's fun yes it has a
lot of stuff in common with Bigfoot but
the reason I like it is cuz I grew up
with a lot of stories of there's a wild
man out in the woods so you know don't
wand too far from home or too far from
camp and just the idea of you're out in
the middle of the night and you see kind
of a shape in the and then you see these
two glowing red eyes looking at you it's
scary in a fun way some of the nuances
of the creature are interesting as well
like people will normally be able to
smell it before they see it some stories
say that it lets out a roar like a bear
before it attacks someone and the origin
of the creature is super Americana right
it was a freak Show act that broke free
and is now out in the Hills attacking
the same Humanity that did it wrong it's
a really cool story it's a bit too
Bigfoot adjacent for me to like throw it
up at a tier but out of nostalgia I'll
call it a b tier and to speak back to my
loch nest monster hatred or I should say
lock Nest monster spin-off hatred if you
are going to copy another popular
crypted that's how you do it you can
take elements you can have a fish thing
in the water just like the Tennessee
wild man is like a Bigfoot thing in the
woods but I mean add some details make
it a carnival freak Show or you know it
it smells bad and it looks more like a
person change up the design a bit just
gosh I'm so all right I'm not going to
get back on it but I'm still so mad over
the Alti thing anyway speaking of
strange fish things next up we have
Stellar's sea ape despite its popularity
this ape has only been seen once on
August the 10th
1974 then off the coast of Schuman
Islands Alaska Explorer George Stellar
spotted a creature he described as 5T
long with the head of a dog large eyes
pointed ears and whiskers like a cat the
tail of a shark and its entire body was
covered in gray hair the creature stared
at the passing ship and played with
seaweed before Stellar shot at the
creature besides one other potential
encounter in
1969 the creature has never been seen
again the sea ape serves as an example
of an either sparse variation of aquatic
creature or the misidentification of a
being such as a seal leading to a new
world of theories and beliefs the
funniest thing about the C ape is George
stellar saw it and it was perfectly fine
wasn't attacking anyone was playing with
seaweed being real cute and then he just
shoots at it and it's not like this is
the 1920s or whatever when you know
that's pretty much all exploration was
you walk into the jungle you shoot
something and then you get money for it
this was
1974 he absolutely knew better now in
all likelihood he was just looking at a
seal like you know seal pups can be
different color of skin and it looks
like they have more fur than the adult
variant so that's probably what he was
looking at uh and for that reason it's
it's going straight to F tier it's a
very it's a very dumb sighting for him
to just see kind of a weird looking seal
and then to shoot at it and then say it
was some rare undiscovered species but
it is
interesting that it is an example of how
sightings of a creature doesn't
necessarily mean entire uniqueness of a
creature it can just be a different way
of describing something that is already
known we see that a lot with different
cultures in like other regions of the
world right they'll describe a creature
that is known in other sections of the
world like say a rhinoceros or a
crocodile or something to that effect
they'll describe it as these great big
massive beasts when in reality other
people have already known about it so it
can kind of help us trace the lines of
what these different discoveries and
reports throughout history mean that
maybe we do know what they're talking
about we just don't have the same words
for it yet but yeah it's still left here
after that we have the inoah this deadly
feline of Tanzania is said to be the
size of a horse and prey upon those who
enter its territory reports began in
1922 when British explorers documented
sightings of the creature stating its
prints to be like that of a giant
leopard several attacks took place with
survivors describing the cat as gray
with brindled stripes many of these
accounts coming from trusted hunters and
guides within the region the attacks
fizzled out in the 19 1930s leading many
to believe this particularly aggressive
fee line was either killed or learned to
stay away from people if that were the
case some descendants of this super
leopard might still be out there I like
this one because it's like a specific
instance right it's not saying there's a
creature that's been seen for
Generations or whatever it's in like the
1920s and 1930s there was a series of
attacks people who were paid to be
guides and Hunters to the region and you
know had a ton of experience with things
like leopards or lions would come back
and say this was not a leopard or a lion
this was something much different um
people were being attacked like it has
all this validity around it and then
they just stopped right so if it was one
super cat then it stands to reason it
either died or was killed or what have
you and then it wasn't seen again but if
it could exist once then maybe it could
exist again it's a really fun theory
that lends validity to it at the same
time big cat so it it's just like a
leopard that's a bit larger in a
different color uh it's like a Cabella's
Big Game Hunter Trophy right it's
nothing that crazy out of the box but
there is validity to it that I think a
lot of other Cryptids don't normally get
so I'll call it C tier and speaking of
big cats after that we have Jefferson's
mained lion while you are likely aware
of the United States Founding Father
Thomas Jefferson you may not know that
he is attributed as a famed crypted
Hunter Jefferson kept records and and
testimonies of unconfirmed animal
encounters across North America most
coveted among his investigations was
that of the mained American lion this
was further supported by a series of
Bones that were given to Jefferson
although these were later found to
belong to a giant ground sloth specimen
and accounts of main felines killing
horses and roaring at Hunters it is even
said that confirmed existence of this
creature and other unconfirmed specimens
served as a partial reason for the Lewis
and Clark Expeditions I'm going to call
this a non-applicable because it's not
really a crypted it's just Jefferson's
investigations into a Crypton but at the
same time I think it's really cool
Jefferson was so known by people around
him to be interested in these
potentially existent species that
friends of his who were paleontologists
would find weird bones and then send
them to him for his collection so
Jefferson thinking that maybe there is a
line in the United States collected
stories he collected stories of hunters
who said that something scared the dogs
and they heard a lion roar in the woods
uh he collected other stories of
people's horses being mauled by like a
cougar as they described it with a large
man and it is a historic fact that one
of the big things Lewis and Clark were
tasked with doing on their expedition
was to keep logs of all the animals and
Wildlife they ran into on their
investigation out west and according to
some before they parted Jefferson told
him to be on the lookout for lions and I
mean it makes a lot of sense right no
one knew the full extent of the American
wilderness or what kind of wildlife
would be out there it's really
interesting to imagine an American
Founding Father having such an interest
with what we're doing now albeit
probably
less weird and speaking of weird next up
we have the giant rat rats can certainly
reach sizes up to that of a house cat as
seen in major cities and stories of
vermin in the trench of World War I
however some legends exist of rats 3 to
4T long given their propensity for
growth when given ample food and
generations of adaptation it is true
that the full extent of a rat's growth
potential has never been recorded
perhaps some hungry violent members of
the species exist beneath our dirt and
sidewalks and perhaps given their
incredible brood sizes there may be more
than enough to take down a man giant rap
pretty and dry rats can get really big
but what if they could get bigger it is
kind of terrifying the thought that
there could be hundreds of these
mankillers underneath city sewer systems
and Subways and what have you and rats
certainly aren't afraid of people so
imagine what a lot of really big ones
could do if they got the gumption to
attack so not that unique but kind of
cool and plausible so I'll call it D
tier and coming off of that we have the
Naga the word Naga refers to any human
snake hybrid found within Southeast
Asian myth they are most often depicted
as violent and fierce with the ability
to easily Slaughter those in its way
Fantastical elements aside the Naga is
yet another example of giant serpents
appearing in an otherwise unconnected
culture both as a beast to be feared and
as a religious icon the Naga is
fascinating as it leaves us with more
questions of Humanity's history than
answers while I could count the Naga as
a crypted I'm going to also put it a
non-applicable because if I was to argue
it as a crypted it would pretty much be
the same things I mentioned about quatal
codal earlier the reason I want to bring
it up is because it's an example of what
I was talking about you have these two
different groups of people who have the
same religious iconography despite being
an ocean apart and you have stories of
giant snakes and regions of the world
that are once again an ocean apart it
points back to the idea that a lot of
these stories we tell a lot of the myths
and legends and even religions that we
pass around may have had a starting
point maybe that starting point wasn't
just something out of imagination
perhaps that's why to this day they have
such stain power and then finally for
tier five we have my favorite one in
this entire tier the AGR pelter this
bizarre legend of the United States
north is said to stalk the woods of
America from sea to Sea finding a home
with the Fearsome Critters of American
Mythos the aggro pelter was spotted by a
man named Nam big old Kon and was
described as an ape with incredibly long
whip-like arms upon seeing a passerby
the aggr pelter would break off pieces
of trees and hurl them at Targets with
Incredible speed therefore if any
Woodsman is found in the trail lying
dead from a fallen Branch it can safely
be assumed as the work of this malicious
monkey this is like crack to me this is
the best way you can incorporate a
Crypton not only is it very weird and
unique but it also has some application
to something that may happen in daily
life you have these lumbermen who are in
the woods all the time chopping down
trees it's not uncommon for them to be
killed by things like falling logs or
branches so the Agri pelter adds a level
of Mythos to those incidents by saying
if you find someone dead in the middle
of the woods and there's a branch next
to them might have been an aggro pelter
on top of that they're said to move so
fast they can barely be seen by the
human eye so you have these creatures
with incredibly long arms which could
also work into the idea of looking up in
the trees and thinking you see something
like a Long Branch move behind a tree it
could be the arm of one of these
creatures and then if they see someone
they throw a log at them so hard that it
kills them on impact that's great and
the guy whose name is big old kson said
he only survived because the log was
rotten and broke on his head upon impact
it's Unique it works its way into real
world applications you could easily see
how a creature like this might make its
way into other stories of characters
within American Mythos it's Unique I
love it and for the first time in this
part I can finally say it's going to a
tier and that is it for level five of
the crypted iceberg and I just have to
say we covered some real losers this
time like yeah some of them some of them
were cool like I really like the AGR
pelter like you know the Tennessee
Wildman and stuff like that but I mean
we we really round out dnf this time
didn't we I mean that's the nature with
these things there's 350 of them they
can't all be bangers um I do think in
this time we crossed over 100 so that's
100 crypted down only 250 more to go but
all in all I certainly enjoyed it and I
hope that you enjoyed it too and if you
did that's great and it means the world
and I just want to say thank you for
watching thank you all for the support
you've shown the series again I just
like talking about weird Cryptids and
weird animals originally I was going to
hold this video off until after I did
the other video that's going to come out
this month um but then I decided while I
have you know the crypted shirt
available to purchase probably best to
do a crypted episode uh and I don't know
if the shirt will still be available to
purchase when that next video comes out
so I decided just to do it now and I
always like an excuse to talk about
these guys um so thank you all for
sticking around this long it really does
mean the most uh is there anything I
wanted to oh I I will clarify the reason
that things like the Tennessee Wild Man
despite being a Bigfoot ripoff or things
like the men W which is a really big cat
I think it's pronounced meno I don't
know anyway the reason I like things
like that but I don't like things like
the uh the loch nest monster ripoffs
it's cuz there's no flavor to it right
like with the wild man there's some
differentiation with the big cats
there's different variants of it whereas
all of the American Loch nness monsters
are well we have this dinosaur looking
thing that the the natives used to talk
about and it's in this Lake that's it
it's all I got never goes further than
and it bothers me so they're all going
to f tier now um again it's not really
Al's fault like realistically if I was
being objective about this it'd be like
C or D tier um but I'm not being
objective it's my list so it's F tier so
that's how I feel about that in case
that wasn't clear enough um only thing I
want to mention like I said this t-shirt
the Windon crypted tour list whatever
t-shirt and the uh conspiracy Iceberg
beanie are going to be available for
like a week and then they're gone
forever so you can't get a hold of them
so link to that will be in the
description if you're interested check
that out and if you do it really does
mean the world I appreciate it um I've
always said I used to have a patreon I
shut it down I don't like just asking
you guys for money unless you get
something for it like a shirt or
whatever and I try to make the shirt
something nice something that I would
wear like it's comfortable I think
Design's cool um I I wanted to be
something that you actually get your
money's worth out of it that being said
it does support the channel it does me
in the world it allows me to do more
weird crazy stuff like what you just
watched uh and some other bigger better
I guess ideas I have for things in the
future supporting the channel really
does mean a lot and I can't thank you
all enough for it so thank you um yeah I
believe that should do it I'll get to
editing this so you all can watch it and
I believe that should do it for now stay
tuned for part six whenever that happens
but I just want to say thank you for
watching I hope that you enjoyed and I
will see you in the next one bye yeah
