This is a great comment haha
wendigoon: i accidentally put all the cool ones in one layer 20 mins later: and for the seventeenth time, i'm gonna put this one in d tier because it's just a big squirrel
Yet, the big boring apeman is s tier...bs list as always
The highest we get is A tier, we get 2 A tiers, a bunch of B-C tiers, and a some D or N/A. Truly the coolest bunch of cryptids
my thoughts exactly
fr just waiting to the good ones to come lol
_Sidehill Gouger:_ A goat that has one side of its legs shorter. A Tier _Hrokkall:_ A resurrected eel corpse that lives in unclean water & can saw off your legs with its razor sharp fins. B Tier -Wendigoon

i’m scottish and did a solo talk on the kelpie when i was about 8 years old, i enthusiastically told the famous story of the child cutting off their hand while their pals drowned and the teacher was so concerned
Did you get a good grade for it?

@@Surfermario i got full marks!!
😊😊😊@@Surfermario😅😅
I cannot believe you forgot the coolest part of the kelpie myth, in that you can tell if a horse is a kelpie by looking at its hooves. Kelpies have backwards facing hooves, so even IF the horse looks like its facing away from water, it can immediately start galloping towards it anyways :D And that the mating of a kelpie and a regular horse results in offspring that is impossible to drown! Kelpie should be AT LEAST an A tier in my opinion.
i came looking for this, also the fact of the shapeshifting to a lady and being inlove with some humans, is an easy A, way cooler than "ghost horse"
This is not a cryptids tier list cus a bunch of his S tier ain't even a cryptid
Kelpies are an A in my heart
Saw a kelpie in Berserk. Looks like a frog pony
Yeah but I felt as if some parts were kind of transphobic
Here in Austria there exists a joke about a "hillside chicken". A chicken with uneven legs that can only circle the hill and to catch it you have to stand below it and imitate its cry so when it turns around it starts to roll down the hill and you can catch it with a bag.
ngl i'd edge while watching that chicken and maybe also mew fr

I feel like the intense disdain for sea/lake monsters is just ol windi trying to get us to talk about the scary ocean less
Around where I live, there are two "cryptids". One is of a catfish in our local lake who made it's home in an old car dumped in the water, and has gotten so big it can't escape, and lives by opening its mouth and waiting for things to come in. Another one isn't a living thing, but a ghost train. My town had a huge train fire, which permanently destroyed the line and resulted in the town's prosperity declining since the 50s. You can still hear train horns sometimes--this is due to the sound carrying from a nesrby town's track, depending on the wind. But it's still a strange vibe to suddenly hear a quiet train horn in a place with no train.
Dude that catfish sounds pretty cool ngl. Like a big mimic, I like it.
The catfish also sounds entirely plausible and I'd love if it really was true
The cryptid where I live is just very ugly and depressed because of how ugly it is. I forget the name of it, but it's the most Pennsylvania-like shit I've ever heard of.
@@hewhoplugwalks Mimics ar 5' by 5' by 10', so it sounds pretty average.
I love the idea of a monster catfish that’s just wearing a car.
I like the idea of the kelpie as a formless water spirit solely because it would be really funny for a modern take on it to just be an unattended car or bike suspiciously close to the water

Dogheaded people are such a cool aspect of history to study. They were prevalent in many places and many churches sought to try and teach them their faith. It’s fascinating because as society developed and people’s ability to travel further distances grew the dogheaded people always seemed to be just past where it was safe for a human to travel.
You can tell this series is a passion project. What a huge undertaking, a total gamble with how much time and effort actually had to go into the research, filming, editing. Thankfully, it’s hugely popular.

Imagine trying to explain something like a platypus to someone who's never seen one. It has the body of a mammal with the bill of a duck, and uh, lays eggs even though it's a mammal. Oh and they have poisonous spikes. Surely they'd think it's some sort of crazy made up creature.
they have so many weird quirks, like glowing under uv light
Only the males are venomous. I don’t know if that makes it weirder or not.
and they sweat milk because they have no nipples. and they use EMP's to find food underwater since they swim blind and deaf. and they have no stomach. and they swim like an otter. and they have a rubbery bill.
The picture at 37:42 is actually a painting of a creature from old Norwegian folklore called "Nøkken". Its appearance is like a pile of twigs in the surface of a pond, but it can shapeshift to either a horse or beautiful woman/man. It lures people to the edge and drags them under. It can also take people swimming in the water. The myth came from people swimming among waterlilies and tangling their feet in their long stems. The waterlilie's plant family is actually named after the myth. (Nøkkerosefamilien = Nøkken-rose-family) The artist that made the painting of the horse also made a painting of the "real" thing. (copy-paste the name from the top to see it)

Well, my friends say I'm one animal skull away from being a cryptid. So I guess I have to like this
@@YoungBison my friends all say I'm one less human skull away from being normal.
According to Roanoke we are to animals so
I'd love to hear him talk about speculative evolution books such as all tomorrows,man after man etc.
The Grootslang is both terrifying in the imagery and art and at the same time super intriguing and awesome. One of my favorites by far because it’s so unique
The Sidehill Gouger is just really funny to me. Just the idea that two beasts with uneven legs have to conjoin to form a almost normal upright beast and then awkwardly meander for miles to get from place to place is both hilarious and oddly inspiring.
Unfortunately it's basically a ripoff of a scottish old joke creature Wild Haggis. My guess the legend migrated from Scotland and later changed into a more fitting local form.

Wendi I just wanna say that I have spent the last 17 hours at work out in the oilfield. It has been the hottest day of the year in my area this far and I was doing the job of three people today.

I found the devil bird to be very interesting, I live in Yucatan, Mexico and I heard a very similar tale, it too was of a night bird that would sit atop someone's home and screech or cry loudly a few times to announce that a person in that household would pass soon. I searched around for a bit and it is called a Xooch' in Mayan, a barn owl in english. In the Maya Yucatec spirituality they are seen as messengers of Mitnal and it is believed that their screech is announcing death, they are seen as a manifestation of Yuum Cimil as well.
"I am ranking every single cryptid, and I mean all of them. The twist is, none of these cryptids are randomly selected, so I know exactly which one is next. Join me in my quest to become a cryptid myself." *brief Yog-Soggoth noise*
So?
@wingerding No, its Soggoth. "So" is Soggoth's conjoined twin. He hates the goth style but has to put up with it every day. Yog (their father) told So that Soggoth was born goth, but So was having none of it. So So was so mad that So called his uncle Cthulu and nobody ever heard from Yog again. It's important to get their names right. Their family dynamic formed the backbone of the Tudor Dynasty, but nobody talks about it anymore. Which is sad because if Yog hadnt been so goth that he told So that Soggoth was born goth, H.P. Lovecraft never would've discovered America.
You mean Yog-Sothoth...?

In Polish and Lithuanian folklore, there is the story of the Aitwar (I- eet- var). It's a chicken headed orange dragon that has claws which spark when it hits them together. It is nocturnal and from a distance looks like a shooting star due to its giant firery wings and the sparks flying behind it. The Aitwar was fully nocturnal and when the sun rose, it would fly down peasant's chimney's and rest wherever it could find space, most often in barns or large living rooms. It would often steal odd belongings(clothes, farm tools, and surprisingly, clover flowers) from neighbours and bring it back to his unwilling hosts. It is seen as a trickster spirit who often got people into trouble unwillingly in the way that a cat brings you dead mice or knocks over a glass.
I absolutely love that.
I remember hearing this story when I lived in Lithuania. I went to a cultural celebration and part of the festivities were a celebration of local folklore 👍🏻
My boyfriend is Lithuanian I’m gonna ask him about this one 😂
Its not Polish. Even the name sounds like a foreign word to me. I tired to look it up thinking it may just not be popular in my region but nah, its just Lithuanian.
_Isaiah puts the Grootslang in C tier_ _Immediately flip my desk_ *UNACCEPTABLE*
I wonder what he'd think of the Alaskan Tizheruk. While another giant sea snake, it's got some interesting attributes. Not only is it completely invisible, but it can condense itself down to be able to travel in extremely shallow water. The idea of being far inland and still fearing that an unseen sea creature could be in the river next to you and grab you with its long, whip-like tongue is pretty creepy.
Wendigoon should hear about the washerwoman (also known as the Bean-Nighe) from Scottland myths, it's about this grotesque elderly washerwoman that sits on riverbanks cleaning bloodied clothes of those who will die, constantly wailing in agony. There was a story I heard where a little girl saw one and when she tried to run away, the washerwoman whipped her by the legs with the cloth and the girl became paralyzed till her mother (or father) found her. She died the next day in her bed.

As a fan of yours from South Africa, it's so cool seeing you talk about the Grootslang! I absolutely agree with you that it's not used enough, but that's mostly due to the fact it's localised to only a small area of the country and doesn't have many stories surrounding it. The messiness of it might come from the fact that it's a story passed through a few different languages and groups of people, so they all have slightly different views on it from what I know. I did actually start work on a project based on it a while ago, might have to return to that now that I think about it. Also, I really respect you as a creator but as an Afrikaans speaker hearing you try to pronounce its name made me chuckle. Anyways, really glad to see you cover it and bring more eyes onto the legend! Have a lovely rest of your day!
How would you pronounce it? Also any other cool folklore from you guys I should look into? I really liked the grootslang, it feels really underappreciated

Wendigold my dude, I just found you less than a month ago. I am in it to my neck in world building and your hours long documentary type videos have been my saving grace. You have such a kindness but also wit/humor/sass and you cover such intresting topics. Unfortunately I got...like 2 nickels because I would dearly love to support and have some cool merch but in lieu, what I can do is say from the absolute bottom of my heart you are awesome. I hope you keep loving what you do and doing it. I think my favorite so far has been Dantes Inferno. As a human, Dante was such a freaking clown and it shook me to know it was 700+ years old being that meme-y. As a veteran of 2010's AO3 writership...Oof, Dante...too relatable bud. Wish I could have a beer with him (and YOU) either way. You seem like youd be a blast to swap creepy stuff thoughts about or deep dive existential stuff. Keep rockin, keep rolling. ❤
The picture of the Bunyip that's green and very cartoony is a tourist attraction in Murray Bridge, South Australia. It lives in a man made cave and you click a button and it emerges from the water along with some spooky noises. It's a great exhibit and I highly recommend going to visit!
The scariest cryptid he's covered so far is by far the skinned men and the shiny gentleman.

Borrasca is my favorite paranormal horror story.
the congo snake makes way more sense than the "megaconda" because the congo's longest snake is like 4 feet long and is the only large rainforest environment to not have a large constrictor snake. the megaconda is also dumb because in the Amazon the largest animal is the manatee which is only 800 pounds while the largest animal in the congo is the eastern bush elephant at 6 tons. because of the evidence i presented I request that the megaconda is moved to c or d teir

I can't agree honestly, if the megaconda eats manatees then it's probably around a 60 foot tree trunk thick behemoth with plate like scales. A literal waterborne ambush dragon, it's beyond horrifying. Imagine if it has even a dog like brain.
@@cale1523 in the amazon jaguars, sharks, and crocodiles all prey on manitees. and there is no super sharks or super jaguars in the amazon. the largest of manitees grow to about 1200 pounds (0.6 tons) and are about 9.8 feet in length, about 4 feet in width. all of that is on the higher end. why on gods green earth would it need to be have a 60 foot diameter to hunt something that is 4 feet wide. the only tree trunk i know that gets that thicc is fucking redwoods. my house is 60 feet wide. 60 would be a lot for the congo elephants which get to be about 7 feet wide, 10 feet tall, 24 feet long, and 6.5 tons.
Lol I wouldn't be looking for sense here.
The fact that a talking weasel beat out a Elefant snake creature forgotten by the gods is crazy
I hope you include some of the biblical creatures, plenty of them have ties to modern cryptids. The leviathan is a perfect example. I love your videos, they're so much fun!

In Brazil we also have 3 other folklore creatures that would be cool additions to the Iceberg. Saci Pererê: A one legged man or teen that only wears a red hood and a red short and he stalks the forests of Brazil punishing those whose inflict damages to it or playing harmless pranks in those that take good care of it In a more deadly twist, a similar idea is the Mula Sem Cabeça, a horse like creature with reversed hooves that is headless, in its place is a constant flame, aways ablaze, and when you destroy the forests you gain its attention and it will put part of the forest on fire, but only to chase you, the fire wont spread uncontrollably and will lead you straight to it, where it will burn you alive. The last creature is the Boto Cor-de-Rosa. Botos are species of Dolphins that can inhabit in Freshwater, they are common to the Amazon region, the special think about the Cor-de-Rosa, or pink, is that during full moon nights, it can rise out of the water and it becomes an incredibly handsome man. And during the full moon it goes around impregnating as many maidens as possible
The Kelpie is probably one of my all-time favourite cryptids (to the point that I was looking forward to it since the first episode of this series) I'm so proud of it's spot in the B-tier!
I have multiple accounts of my relatives hearing the cry of devil bird when their loved ones where on the death bed and soon they pass away. Maybe its the culture but it's really cool to find it on the iceberg.
As a trout fisherman, I am no obsessed with the fur bearing trout. I'm 1000% gonna be trying to catch one forever now
The sidehill gouger is very similar to the local cryptid of where I grew up, in the French Alps, called the Dahu: It's a mountain goat that evolved legs shorter on one side to walk the mountainsides more effectively. The game is to take a group of tourists and tell them about the Dahu, and get them to go hunt it: One must first spot the tracks of the Dahu, then walk in the opposite direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise around the mountain) while banging pots and pans to make a lot of noise. The noise is supposed to scare the Dahu who will try to run away, but since it would be opposite of his natural walking direction, it would fall down and be unable to stand up again due to its short-legs side being on the downhill side. Then the tourists can pick it up easily. It's a long-running legend and prank to play on tourists, funny to see it crossed the pond to USA
19:52 I have that same figure! I love how out of the 6 cryptids in that set, one is the fur-bearing-trout lol. Great video as always.

I went to bed while listening to this man and had a dream that I met him at Aldi’s and I tried to express that I was a fan but he literally wouldn’t stop talking about cryptids. Like even as I approached him and he was picking out vegetables he was literally speaking at full volume to himself about cryptids. And I was like “Hey are you Wendigoon? I’m a huge fan of your content” and he literally turned and faced me and looked me dead in my soul and just kept talking about Cryptids. He never stopped. I am never playing KZhead while sleeping again that was so jarring.
In Utah growing up my grandpa would tell stories of "Wompus Cats". Like the side hill Gouger it was a wild cat that had uneven legs. It could move quickly clockwise, or counter clockwise around hills, and mountains. So if you ever saw one you should run up, or down the hill to get away as it could only move slowly up, or down. Was way fun to learn about Side hill Gougers. Since it reminded me of my childish fear of the wompus cats.

The Fur Bearing Trout is such a silly idea. Not only is it impossible for a trout (or most fish for that matter), to grow fur, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't even be able to swim due to the weight of the fur.
This series is my FAVORITE OF ALL TIMEEEEE! There are so many Cryptids😍 it’s beautiful
I’m absolutely blown away that you mentioned angry Johnny and the killbillies. “High Noon in killvill” is one of my favorite songs.
Yoooo a wendigoon vid at 8:41 pm? Nice! Thanks for the video btw
best time zone
My farts are better than Iceberg Boy’s farts 💨
Wha?
Yeah but to be honest it was really transphobic at some parts not going to lie
@@KahiyusYutubjani least obvious bot account
The image at 37:45 isn’t a kelipe, it’s Nøkken (very similar Norwegian cryptid). It’s painted by Theodor Kittelsen, who painted a lot of Norwegian folklore («Pesta» is probably the most recognizable). Justice for my guy Theodor Kittelsen
The sidehill gouger was a fun one. Growing up, my dad told me a story about the "levee cows," which had uneven legs. They would walk down the levee one way, and twice a year, some levee preservation group would lift them all to the other side and they would walk back down.
Have had a peek ahead at the iceberg you're using and unless my eyesight has failed me, I noticed there's a lack of yara-ma-yha-who, which has severely bummed me out, I think you'd really enjoy it as a concept and if by any slim chance you happen to see this, I'd highly recommend looking into it and throwing it somewhere in this series and I will happily eat my doormat if it disappoints.
What is it?
The fur bearing trout one gave me such a nostalgic feeling. Like it felt like a wholesome campfire story.
37:27 Glad to see the kelpie there, kinda wish it was higher up! In Scotland we have a few horse like monsters. Each-Uisge is much like the kelpie but far more deadly, devouring its prey but leaving the liver behind. Tendency to take the form of a human man who goes after women, victims have to see if there are water weeds in his hair and if so escape the Each-Uisge before they are dragged underwater. There is Nuckelavee another horse like being, rather graphic to describe as it has one eye, skinless and a rider growing from its back. Connections to the devil and a plague bringer, it’s a real monster!
As an Aussie I'm happy the bunyip is getting some acknowledgement, I loved my dad and grandpa telling stories of seeing the bunyip or a panther while they were out getting wood late at night.
In primary school in Kindergarten I believe, my class did an onstage performance about a story of the Bunyip, and I got to play the Bunyip itself, we all made our own masks and I got mad flashbacks once Wendigoon mentioned it 😆
The Glawkus kinda reminds me of the false hydra, i love me some monsters that mess with memory
I don't know where the best place to recommend vids for Wendigoon but the story of Shoichi Yokoi seems like such a Wendigoon video topic. Japanese WW2 soldier who escaped during the Battle of Guam in 1944 and lived off the land for 30 years before being found. Would love to see this!
Yo the mention of the Kelpie reminded me of a book I had when I was a kid called the Spiderwick field handbook or sumthin like that. I was OBSESSED with cryptozoology (I'm more passive with I now, I kinda just watch videos on yt but when I was little I had books upon books about the subject and would go on cryptic hunts for faeries, manicores, unicorns, and the like. The Sp8derwick handbook is technically a kids book with rudimentary info, but the illustrations are so beautiful. The ones that stuck with me are the Unicorn, the Kelpie, different types of sirens and Nymphs, and then the Phooka
Man im DESPERATELY waiting for episode 11 where Wendigoon talks about the loveland frogmen. They are so neat i luv em.
Dude I love the Frogmen. The idea of some toddler sized frog just out and about is hilarious to me!
My favourite cryptid!
Amazon giant otters are 6 feet long and travel in murderous packs that have no trouble intimidating jaguars and tearing caiman to peices .
The Clockwise Sidehill Gouger and Counterclockwise Sidehill Gouger meeting and having to fight to the death to past reminds me of the South and North Going Zax by Dr. Suess
Can’t wait for the 9hour version of this. Yes I watched the last one all the way through and I’ll re watch all of this all the way through as well
There's a scandinavian and finnish myth similar to kelpie, although I believe it came from nixie and not kelpie (?). I think it's called näcken in scandinavian countries, but in Finland it's called näkki. It's usually male in other countries and plays the violin and can teach it to people who make a deal with it, but in Finland näkki is female. She's been used to scare children away from waters and teach them to be careful about them. There's a saying in Finland before you go swimming: "näkki maalle, minä veteen" which basically translates to "näkki, rise up from the water so I can enter" and vice versa when you're getting out of the water. It's a fun little thing and kelpie reminds me of it, since näkki can also appear in the form of an animal, like a horse, or even a large rock in the water! It's said that if a swimmer climbs on a rock that's actually a näkki in disguise, it'll try and drown you if you don't say it's name or a phrase that refers to it. (there's also apparently one where you call it a son of a bitch and throw it with something made of iron lmao) I really enjoy these cryptid videos, keep it up!
Its a good day when iceberg boi uploads... Got me wendigooning all over the place
My farts are better than Iceberg Boy’s farts 💨
were u having a fr goon sesh or just edging tho? if u straight up gooned ur a patrick bateman level sigma ngl tho if u was just edging u might be a skibidi toilet mog mog mog 💀💀💀
@@user-rd3rf3ft8eJust trying to read that sentence in the King’s English gave me partial brain damage.
@@mattandrews8528 see, here is where you went astray my man, you should've read it in the Drip King's English. Who's that? Why, it's Baby Gronk. The Drip King of youth & a level 5 gyatt, tho he also might be the rizzler.
@@user-rd3rf3ft8e Yee lost me right about halfway through my good man, I’m not even gonna lie.
OMG 17:25 When I was a kid we had a version of the Glawckus at a girl scout camp in Michigan! We called ours Tagar and he lived in the oldest tree at camp, and when one of the older girls/leaders went on break they told us they where "Going to say hi to Tagar and visit his tree" He was framed like the camp protector, and when you look away from him you'd forget what he looked like.
I have been waiting for so long hoping you would talk about the Bunyip!!! Definitely biased as I grew up in Bunyip country, but it would be my favourite cryptid. I love telling stories to visitors whenever we are near creeks or billabongs.
I love when Mr. Goon talks about strange creatures
do u edge to Mr. Goons campfire stories? then u might be a sigma fr
I love being a wendigooner
Ahh! I was hoping you'd cover the dobhar-chu!! Used to think "oh big otter that's not so scary" until I saw videos of river otters in the pacific who were terrorizing a town and stealing their fish 😂 their cute little faces get a *lot* less cute when they're snarling
I would watch Wendi doing a tier list about types of soda's, idk man I just like his vibe
IM A PROUD GOONER
*Don’t read my name… 😮*
Never goon
R u an Arsenal fan or what
My farts are better than Iceberg Boy’s farts 💨
I MAKE BETTER CONTENT THAN THIS. I'm a 30+ year old media creator with aspergers syndrome who is a jack of all trades with a passion for fighting against cyberbullying. I've been doing these kinds of things for over 10 years and I've picked up a whole set of different skills along the way.....
(27:46) I got so excited for the bunyip, such a classic dude.
Yeah same one of my favorites
Hell yeah another episode of „southern guy mispronounces names“ I love it. All jokes aside that is my favorite part.
39:24 Well, if a Kelpie manages to shapeshift into a Jaguar E-Type I would not even be mad if it eats me. Honestly very impressive.
Reminds me of how some of the earliest humanoid sculptures were things like " lion man" , or think of the dog faced saint Christopher
Yay! Really look forward to watching this video! This topic of cryptids is so interesting to me. 😊 Thank you!
So excited to be seeing the beanie at my door love your content and glad to be able to support you more than just through views
Talk about the Sierra Sounds! Just heard about it today. Seems right up your alley!
