Tales of Cryptids/Unexplained Creatures From The Americas

This is an anthology of stories about cryptids from North, Central, and South America. This is partly inspired by @MadnessAndOtherTales' "Tales and Creatures from English Folklore". I'm not trying to copy his format though. So instead of the full backstories, I will give you a brief history of them at the beginning of every story. I also encourage you to go out and research these creatures yourself. All of the stories are fictional and created by me. But as most literature goes, they will be inspired by other stories and creators. Most of the tales will be about the North American cryptids as that is where I live and the most familiar with. I hope this will expand your knowledge of folktales and urban legends. As well as entertain you.
