Cryptids
from Arcane Answers
Lare, Amanda, and Sara discuss various legendary creatures, starting with the Jersey Devil. Larry explains the 1735 legend of "Mother Leeds," who allegedly gave birth to a child that transformed into a winged monster and flew into the New Jersey Pine Barrens. Amanda shares Inuit cryptids, including the Akhlut, a part-orca and part-wolf shapeshifter driven by vengeance, and the Qalupalik, a horrific creature used to scare children away from dangerous ice. Sara concludes with stories of the Flathead Lake Monster, described as a large creature with "undulating hips," and the Shunka Warakin (Rocky Mountain Hyena), a wolf-like beast shot by a Montana rancher in 1886, whose taxidermied remains are still on display today.
