AAA i am overjoyed with this post 😋😋😋 i love when people talk about the other trevor henderson cryptids! lots of love went into this i bet <333

you definitely should make a post about ms humble though since i didn't see her anywhere, i don't think she has much information on her besides a twitter post and this other instagram post :(

Waffling about/reviewing Trevor Henderson's Cryptids because I think they're cool (Part 1)

Today!.. well... you can read the title can you? There will be a total of 10 cryptids included in this list. Some I will have more to say than others. I'll be reviewing these weirdos based on things like their design, additional info or lore, scare factor, and overall quality of their image(s) and I may offer some theories here and there. If the cryptid has more than one image to it, I will be stating which one is my favorite. I will most likely be making more parts to this where I review even more.

Before we get into that, I do want to establish some things. 1. This list and the following lists will not be going in any specific order. All of the cryptids chosen and their placements will be random aside from maybe the very last one. So don't view this as a ranking list.

2. A lot of Trevor's creations do not have official names. Most are either given a name by fans or they straight up don't have a name at all (or at least not one that I could find). I'll be making sure to specify on whether a name is official, was made by fans, or was made specifically by me. For example: "This creature is officially known as...", "This creature is known by the fans as...", "I personally call this creature..." You get the point. 3. When it comes to the more indepth cryptids (like Siren Head, Cartoon Cat, Long Horse, ect). I may have to talk about those in their own separate post because there's a lot more images and captions to go through and analyze. 4. Trevor has multiple different social media platforms where he has given out information about his creatures. With some of those platforms being deleted or made private in the case of his Twitter account. This makes keeping up with and trying to gain information about his creatures tedious and confusing. Some info on one platform may not be available on the other. Or it may not exist anymore due to succumbing to link rot. Misinformation about these creatures thus spreads easily. Making it not easy to tell what's official and what's essentially just headcanon. The Trevor Henderson Wiki and its unprofessional and abandoned state is a big example of this.

I'll be making sure that the info I have is as accurate as possible and comes from a primary source somewhere. Even if that source has succumbed to link rot, I at least know that it existed at one point. If possible, I'll also be providing additional screenshots if they're available so I don't sound like I'm talking out of my ass.

If I make a mistake or you think I should add something, please let me know so I can change or add it. With that, lets get started!

10. The Smile Room

"07/27/06 - Two teenagers go missing after breaking into the "Neb's Fun World" bowling in Oshawa, Ontario. A friend finds a cell phone while looking for them and turns it into the police after finding this photo. Upon investigation, "The Smile Room" is not a part of the building."

A lot of Trevor's creations look like freakish abominations or eldritch horror beings. He sometimes goes for a more simple approach though. This being officially known as The Smile Room is a pair of teeth within a door. Yet that's all it needs to be a very cool design. Seeing something like that paired with the text above the room ominously and vaguely stating "THE SMILE ROOM" is incredibly bizarre as it is disturbing. The darkened gums, apparent saliva, the crooked teeth. A huge nope right there. Somebody get this thing checked out to a dentist ASAP. The caption states that this "room" made two teens go missing and that when the police went to investigate further, the room was gone. So there's that fear of the unknown factor. What is this thing?

A later image depicts the mouth being able to pull itself out of its room with tendrils, which looks very disgusting and discomforting.

Then we get this crazy ass image that's simply captioned "smile room host".

So not only is the mouth thing able to physically move itself around, but it can also have a "host" akin to a parasite.

Trevor later went to state the following about this thing "A wormhole between our universe and the mouth of some sleeping, near-dead entity of unfathomable size, any abandoned room or space could become a "smile room". Anyone drawn in is decimated (much like a black hole), though it may make ambulatory hosts as a last resort."

So the Smile Room we're seeing is only a small portion of... whatever it is. It's a dying beast making its way into our world so it can feed out of desperation. When asked why its close to death, Trevor responded...

Entropy meaning lack of order or predictability. We don't know what type of entropy the Smile Room is going through, but my guess is that it has something to do with its home universe. Something really bad must have happened there if this beast had to resort to eating smaller beings in a whole different universe. Makes you wonder what horrors are going on in that universe.

Damn strong start here. I like the Smile Room a lot. It's a simple yet unnerving design with some perfect mystery to it. All of its artwork is banging and nice looking too.

As for my favorite illustration of it, I really like the one depicting the Smile Room Host. The design is unnerving and the red lighting in the background, as if to signify that you're in serious danger, is great. Although I have to go with the first and original one when it comes to being my favorite. It's simply perfectly and effectively ominous. Not to mention that the story behind the background itself is interesting.

The gums and teeth are fake obviously, but the text above the door is surprisingly real. The Smile Room is a real life thing that originated from a now abandoned asylum. Dating back all the way to the 1920's!

You can even find a 26 minute video exploring said abandoned asylum right here. It's a wonderful watch that manages to be both serene and unsettling (considering how unethical asylums were back then). The camera work is great, the pieces of soundtrack here and there are atmospheric, and the two dudes in the video exploring the asylum aren't annoying. When you have the time, give it a watch!

Just a very cool creature. 5/5

9. Photo-Booth Man

"For a period of roughly three months, from April to mid June of 2002, a public photo-booth at the Steltson Oaks Mall in the San Fernando Valley portion of Los Angeles only produced photos of the same man, regardless of who was using the machine. The man was always facing dead ahead, with an expressionless face. It was hard to determine what age the man was, though he appeared to be in his late teens to early 20's. By early June, photos of the man were being produced much more rapidly, and they had begun to change. Photos of the man increasingly came out warped, with staring eyes and deformed features. Eventually, the machine was decommissioned due to customer outcry, with many complaining of being so alarmed by the photos, they would dream of the man. It's current location is unknown. Existing photos of the photo-booth man are said to fetch high numbers at very specific auctions, held for people who specialize in finding such things."

One of Trevor's older creations. This one is pretty straight forward and simple, but I like it a lot. Officially known as Photo Booth Man, the images of this guy are well made, managing to strike the uncanny valley effect for me. You can tell he's supposed to be human, but something about him just feels... very wrong. I especially like this specific illustration of the man.

The idea of a photo booth popping out weird and creepy pictures of someone you don't recognize is great and it makes you question the paranormal nature going on here. Why is this photo booth producing photos of this man? Did something happen in or near the photo booth? The deformities of the man's face in the later pictures could imply that something gruesome happened to him. Leading to him looking like... that. To speak about the caption provided to the illustrations, it does a pretty good job at making them all the more chilling. Something that I find interesting and made a mental note of is that a good chunk of Trevor's earlier work were more willing to have lengthy captions or at least be more descriptive when it came to giving a bit of info about the cryptid. Trevor would later lean on the more vague and cryptic side when it came to the captions in his later illustrations. I assume because leaving things more vague makes these creatures all the more scarier. I think the more detailed caption works well here nonetheless. I like the little story it provides and the bit of mystery is pretty cool.

There's definitely more scary or interesting cryptids, but still pretty decent. 3.5/5

8. We See You

"Tape found by the side of the road in the Colorado desert in November of 2012. Footage is the same three minutes of footage on a loop, with the camera recording out the passenger side window as the driver and passenger panic. Unknown figures wave to the car. While at first the tape appears to be made of the same few minutes on repeat, and the dialogue is the same, it appears that each three-minute segment bears small differences from each other, such as the pattern of clouds in the sky and the number of figures."

Okay, this one is really disturbing and I love it. Simply because of how this feels like something straight out of surreal nightmare. These poor souls ended up in this "trap" as one of them calls it as seen in the image. Considering how the tape plays out, I assume that they were just going on a drive in the desert, before realizing everything around them felt like it was stuck in a loop.

That was when they began to panic and when the waving shadows started popping up. Something then eventually happened to them that caused them to disappear and that tape being the only thing left of them. There could be other possibilities and interpretations as to how the exact events played out though.

Nonetheless, this one is really creepy and good. Anything involving getting stuck in a repetitive loop is horrifying and this is a good example of that. The waving shadows are unnerving, the dialogue seen in the image where the driver and passenger are in fear and disbelief as to what's happening is well done, and the "WE SEE YOU" text in bright red on a billboard (hence the name I've given to this entity) brings everything all together.

You do wonder what happened to the driver and passenger. I can't imagine that they went out in a peaceful way. Either that or maybe they met a fate worse than death.

Very good 5/5

7. Mr. Bag

"mr.bag"

Officially known as Mr. Bag, this is easily one of my favorites among Trevor's cryptids and it pains me how underrated he seems to be. We're first introduced to this thing by the image seen above. Simply captioned "mr.bag". Not much info to gain for now, but this illustration is already a great introduction to him.

This dude is creepy as all fuck, especially with his pale face, closed eyes, and lack of any expression or emotion. But then it gets worse once you realize how disturbingly tall he seems to be. Further implied by the simplistic drawing behind him. More interestingly though, the second simple drawing depicts a person going towards a small house or shed. With Mr. Bag presumably being inside.

Things only get more interesting when we see the other images and the info they provide.

This image of Mr. Bag would be posted after the previous one. Depicting what is presumably a young girl that is "friends" with Mr. Bag. She seems to have drawn this artwork for her friend or maybe to show off to her parents.

We get some info that we already knew. Such as how his trash bag body is shiny and how he's so damn tall that he could easily sign up for the NBA. But then we get some disturbing new info. The "WRAPPED UP INSIDE" text with the artwork depicting a dead person inside Mr. Bag.

This explains Mr. Bag's complete lack of expression in the first image. He's dead... yet he's still alive at the same time somehow? Also curious as to how Mr. Bag is able to move at all, since the artwork clearly shows that the dead person inside the bag doesn't fully fit their "casing". Is Mr. Bag supposed to be the dead person or the bag itself? Odd but very interesting. Let's go to the next illustration.

“Hey Dad. It’s going ok. Yeah. I can tell it’ll take a lot longer to clean than I thought. I haven’t even touched the basement yet. I thought I heard an animal down there! Yeah, I know you warned me. It’s ok. It’ll give me a chance to say goodbye. Yeah. Love you too. Bye.”

The caption here implies that whoever is texting their father is moving out of their household. Perhaps it's the young girl that made the crayon drawing we saw earlier, now all grown up.

That aside, they state that they heard an animal down in the basement. And how "it" will give them a chance to say goodbye. The illustration depicts Mr. Bag in said basement who, strangely, changed a bit in appearance. Looking to be a bit taller.

A very ominous and unnerving image right here. Considering the fact that Mr. Bag was apparently making noises that could be mistaken for an animal and that the speaker's father warned them about going down in the basement with Mr. Bag; something tells me Mr. Bag isn't too happy that the "friend" they knew since childhood is planning on leaving him. And so we get to see what exactly happens when Mr. Bag is upset in the next image.

“It followed us even when we fled the house. I saw it for the first time while stopping for gas. We’re still driving. I’m afraid to stop for more than a night. It’s always close.”

Annnnd this folks is why becoming friends with a haunted corpse inside a trashbag is probably NOT a good idea. As expected, Mr. Bag didn't take the goodbye so well, and now he's straight up stalking the speaker and presumably the rest of the family that were living in the household.

What's incredibly unnerving here is that Mr. Bag got taller once again. He's gigantic now. That's because he has killed a few things at this point while chasing down the speaker. Under the original image on Twitter, a user theorized that Mr. Bag kills people by wrapping himself around them; to which Trevor responded with "Nailed it!" Not just that, but he's either insanely fast or can straight up teleport. As the speaker states that "It's always close." No matter how much they try driving away, Mr. Bag is always near. Unfortunately, I don't think the speaker nor their family were able to make it after this.

Okay. Now it's time to talk about why Mr. Bag is the coolest fucking thing Trevor has ever created. Mr. Bag is very interesting compared to some of the other cryptids for one simple reason: he has a personality. Something that you very rarely, if ever, get with Trevor's cryptids.

Mr. Bag can be befriended (as stated in Trevor's danger tier list) and assuming that the speaker in the illustrations was the same little girl who made the crayon drawing, he can be a friendly and perhaps even harmless fella for a long time, as long as you're his friend.

He's a very clingy and quick to anger bastard though the moment that you try to leave him. All the fun and memories you had with him get thrown out the window. He gets emotionally hurt. He gets angry. He gets murderous. He's pretty much that one friend or abusive ex who gets all pissy and uptight when you try to leave them. They won't accept any goodbyes. They want you to stay with them. It's a vicious and tragic cycle. One that Mr. Bag has been apart of for a very long time considering the date on this illustration.

It really makes you wonder why Mr. Bag is this way. My personal theory was that he was once a man who met a tragic fate through unknown means and thus he ended up in the bag he's in now. After possessing his own corpse essentially, he was filled with sorrow and misery, but something that did bring him some happiness was making friends.

Making friends is all he wants in his current life. Since he can't really live a normal life anymore due to the state he's in. This is why he becomes angry and murderous when his friends try to leave him. He wants eternal happiness. He wants to find the perfect friend. Perhaps when he was still human he either had no friends or had serious attachment issues. Leading to what he is now.

Whatever lead to his creation, this guy is a wonderful and perfect horror monster. The little story that is formed through the captions of his images is perfect. To this day, I think he is easily one of the most horrifying cryptids among Trevor's roster. Something about him is just so damn creepy and unnerving to me. I don't know if it has to do with his uncanny face, his insane height, the captions, or the fact that he can go from friendly to murderous on a dime. Or maybe it's all of those things.

As for my favorite illustration of Mr. Bag, I really love the one depicting him in the basement. As stated before, it looks and feels so ominous, especially with the caption alongside it. Despite Mr. Bags lack of facial expressions, something about that particular image gives off the vibes that he is not happy at all. It's awesome.

Extremely underrated. SIX out of five. 6/5

6. Pole Bugs

"They were as slow and harmless as stick bugs, but once you saw one in a neighbourhood, you could count on a whole mess of them showing up. They get up on the poles and good luck making a call. Just white noise and voices from then on."

Known by the community as Stick Bugs and referred to as Pole Bugs by me, these silly boyos are 100% harmless according to the danger tier list.

One thing to appreciate about Trevor's cryptids is that not all of them are dangerous. In fact, a decent chunk of them are harmless as stated by Trevor himself.

Design wise, the Pole Bugs are still pretty creepy. Pale humanoids with two sets of arms that can also double as legs to crawl around with. Akin to a... well... bug.

The caption is also pretty interesting too. Pole Bugs seem to be treated like annoying pests more than anything. Whole groups of them can show up, screwing up telephone poles and thus making it impossible to call anyone. As all you'll hear is just white noise and voices.

Nothing too spectacular about their designs which brings them down a bit, but the caption and the variety they add by being harmless but still annoying pests is really cool. 3.5/5

5. Milkwalker

"I drew the Milkwalker, the best mascot ever. Yes, he’s real."

This is Milkwalker.

I like Milkwalker :)

...

Honestly was thinking of just ending it there lmao. Anways, officially known as Milkwalker and widely known as Milkwalker Ambassador by the community (as I don't recall Trevor ever adding the ambassador part), this is technically not an original creation by Trevor. As Milkwalker has existed way before this illustration and he has some interesting history.

Darigold, an American dairy agriculture company that has existed since 1918, had a mascot that was known as Milkwalker in the 1980's. Appearing on milk cartons where... he looked quite strange to say the least. The text next to him didn't help matters either.

How anyone at the company looked at that thing and thought "Yeah! The kids will love this!" is a complete mystery to all of us as a species.

To make things even stranger, we have zero idea on who the creator of Milkwalker was. Despite attempts to question Darigold themselves about it.

Nonetheless, Milkwalker would make a revival into meme culture after a now deleted Tumblr blog known as Heck-Yeah-Old-Tech posted the image above where, presumably the poster, is holding a milk carton with Milkwalker on it. The image came with the following caption.

"There are some weird advertising characters out there. This is one of them: Darigold milk during the mid-1980s was putting Milkwalker, a pint of milk with arms and legs (and rather scary ones at that) and huge soul-gobbling eyes, on its boxes with tips on how to live your life safely. Those hinge knees, man. I’ve found no origin story, no other record of his being a thing that answers any questions about what Darigold was thinking and how long he was (to them and the schoolchildren who saw him daily) a thing."

Cue this thing appearing on multiple different social media and even getting a little fandom on Tumblr (because Tumblr has a fandom for everything apparently).

That's pretty much the whole story behind Milkwalker. Not much scare factor or anything deeper than that, but he's still pretty cool with a neat design and I like him a lot. Nice mix between being goofy af yet still slightly creepy.

Silly lil guy. 3/5

4. The Apartment Guest

"As summer gave way for autumn, he started to notice how empty his building was becoming. He'd always been friendly with the other residents, other elderly people like him, so it was strange that so many of them had left without seemingly saying a word. As he sat thinking about this, the wind blowing hard against his window, he heard noise from down the hall. Someone was knocking on each door and then moving on. "Looking for the last person left", was the thought that crossed his mind, as the pounding began at his door."

I've seen this thing go by a few different names in the community, but I simply refer to it as The Apartment Guest. The illustration here is simple but very effective. An uncomfortably up close shot to this humanoid with a black body and pale face. Their mouth and eyes just being empty voids. Disturbing.

Trevor could have just left it at that, but then there's that caption. Holy shit. The fucking caption.

Being up late at night, just casually scrolling through Trevor's Instagram page to search for some cryptids, and then reading "Looking for the last person left", was the thought that crossed his mind, as the pounding began at his door." was, quite literally, spine chilling. Especially visualizing being in that position. Hearing knocking on doors, the noise getting louder and closer to you, and then hearing pounding on your door? Why? Who is that? What are they going to do to me? The amount of horror that I would feel in that moment. Jesus christ.

This particular cryptid is a perfect example on how the captions that Trevor adds to his illustrations can make them all the more better, or in this case, all the more scarier. Not too much is told, but not too little is told either. It's the perfect amount.

Not much else to say. It's just very good. 5/5

3. The Wandering Faith

"* emergency storm warning * all residents please remain indoors and wait for further dispatches"

Often incorrectly referred to as Day 17 by the community due to a Gmod model of it going by the same name. Officially though, the name of this creature is The Wandering Faith.

The Wandering Faith is very interesting as it's apart of its own group of cryptids known as the Giants. The Giants presumably are in their own universe separate from the cryptids we usually see from Trevor, if this post is anything to go by.

Speculating about the Giants and their universe can be its own separate post, so lets focus solely on the Wandering Faith for now. What is this thing?

Well it's certainly fucking big that's for sure. So big in fact that its N E C C goes all the way up into the clouds and we have no idea what its head looks like. Interestingly though there seems to be tendrils of sorts on its N E C C. Looking at illustrations of some of the other Giants, these tendrils are also visible.

This lead to some theorizing about what was the deal with this thing and the other Giants. A big one being that most of the Giants are actually angels (hence why Wandering Faith has the name that it does). The reason why they have tendrils on them being that they use them to bring those worthy enough into heaven. Trevor would later confirm this theory.

So the Wandering Faith isn't malicious or harmful (at least not intentionally), it just wants to bring you into heaven, if you're lucky and deserving of that.

I never thought the Giants were scary or creepy (aside from maybe Breaking News). Always found them interesting more than anything. I really like the whole angel aspect with them and how later lore implies that some Giants are tasked with bringing the worthy up to heaven while other Giants are tasked with bringing destruction. Purging the world of sinners once everyone else has got their chance at an eternal vacation.

It really does feel akin to Noah's Flood for example. Except instead of a flood purging sinners, it's giant beings of mass destruction. It's really cool.

Overall, nice lore, awesome name, and a basic but still neat design. 4/5

2. Bridge Worm

"bridge worm"

Officially known as Bridge Worm, an illustration of this worm is posted with a caption that simply states its name. Depicting a large and white worm with humanoid arms and a sorrowful expression on its face. A lot of people's reaction to this image was that compared to all of the other cryptids? This lil guy looked pretty cute. And he does! Nothing about the image really implies that this thing is a threat. You would think this would be another one of those cryptids who were actually harmless, but you would be terribly wrong...

This image of the worm reveals that the cute and sad looking face we saw in the previous image wasn't its real face. It was a false one. A way to deceive you. In actuality, there's a freaky ass face under there, and we get to have a more closer look at it in the next image.

"The bridge worm will sometimes venture far from its nest if prey is hard to come by, instinctually hunting at night and in abandoned areas to avoid discovery. Photo below: The adolescent bridge worm folds back its false face as it prepares to feed. RIP Photographer Tomas Pearcing, missing and presumed dead. The scientific community thanks you for your service."

As we can see, the worm can fold back its false face, revealing a fleshy and oddly human looking face with bri-ish ass looking teeth and uneven eyes. The face that only a mother could love... people were still calling this thing cute though lol.

That said, there's some things to chew on with the caption provided here. Firstly, despite the name, the Bridge Worm can venture away from where it usually is when it's desperate. Secondly, "adolescent bridge worm". So this thing not only seems to be a species rather than a singular being, but the one we're seeing now and the previous one we saw earlier are just teenagers. So what the hell do the adults look like? We'll get back to that one. Thirdly, "The scientific community thanks you for your service." That line really intrigued me and got my brain going. What scientific community specifically? Are there people trying to study these worms and the other cryptids too? How is that like? How does that work? Even if that's not the case, this community now has knowledge and evidence of a strange and abnormal creature. So what will they do now? Are we actually getting some world building here? That rarely happens.

Some intriguing stuff there. Going back to questioning what an adult Bridge Worm looks like, there is this.

Here we get to see what an adult Bridge Worm looks like, which has also been referred to as the Highway Worm by the community. As they mature, they loose their limbs, become a sorta beige/brown color, and the false face seems to disappear as well.

This has most likely been retconned after some time however. As Trevor would later go on to post the patron saint image of the Bridge Worm on Twitter. Stating that their faces become more refined and human-like as they age, which is what we see below

"Patron saint of dark places, of hungry life, of spotless bones."

Yep. I'm officially having nightmares. Dear fucking god why does it kinda look like another one of those memes where they take the face of Thomas the Tank Engine and stretch it out of his body to ridiculous lengths.

Anyways I really like this weird worm fella! There's some cool biology stuff going on with this one that makes it stand out a bit. Definitely feels less like a paranormal creature and more like just a really weird and dangerous animal. I love the idea of it trying to mimic human faces too. It seems kinda silly at first. I mean, I'm pretty anyone with more than 2 functioning brain cells is gonna treat that trick the same way they treat a girls OnlyFans account: they're not buying that shit.

When you look at it being a stunted evolutionary tactic though, something that Trevor supposedly confirmed, it becomes a whole lot cooler. Nature isn't perfect of course and sometimes there will be fuck ups in evolution (like how our species suffers from back problems due to our quick jump from walking mostly on fours to walking solely on two legs).

As for my favorite illustration of the creature, I'd have to go with this one.

It's just so horrifically detailed and really shows how terrifying this thing is. Its fleshy face looks like its melting or can barely hold itself together. It's off putting that it looks so human when it's clearly not. As for the eyes, I like how they're done here. It was hard for me to find the previous illustration with the Bridge Worm's true face revealed to be scary. The eyes just made it look too goofy. Here though, they're executed way better. Coming off as more disturbing. I think it may have to do with how more realistic looking the illustration is overall.

In summary? Awesome worm boi. 5/5

1. The First One

"They'd said to avoid the back highways at night. People get turned around, get lost, go missing, turn up dead. Turn up alive but miles from where they thought they were. It happens all the time, they said. Bullshit. He had no time for that nonsense. He would take his chances."

April 4th, 2018. Trevor would post this to his Instagram account. I call this The First One. Why? Because it's Trevor's first cryptid! Of course, Trevor has been making art long before that, but this is the first artwork he made that went for the found footage aspect that he would later become famous for.

You can definitely tell this was Trevor's first attempt at trying to get the hang of this. The background is actually drawn instead of being a real life image taken from somewhere, something you can see with some of the other earlier works of Trevor as well. Yet it still tries to go for a realistic feel, which for a first attempt at this type of horror, doesn't look too bad.

The cryptid is very simple but still creepy design wise. An entirely grey humanoid whose body is not visible due to its height and it also seems to be floating slightly in the air. The caption here is simple as well, but it works. Adding some substance and horror to an otherwise basic monster.

Interestingly enough, Trevor would later revisit this illustration and tweak it a bit.

"Back from Chicago, time to get back to documenting the found footage of the last moments of the lives of various hitchhikers and urban explorers as they encountered deadly and unknowably monstrous supernatural forces."

I guess this was his attempt at making the illustration a bit more convincing. I like it! The vintage camcorder effect here is a nice change.

Overall, it's interesting to go back to many of Trevor's earlier illustrations and see just how much he has improved overtime. To look at this and then look at his more recent work, the jump in quality is insane.

The illustration itself isn't perfect, but it's still pretty solid, and it's interesting to see what the first cryptid was like. 3/5

Conclusion

Well! That wraps things up for now! I absolutely adore Trevor's work and I feel like in modern times he doesn't get the appreciation he really deserves. The designs he creates for his monsters are terrific and unique. The found footage artworks are amazing and only get better as time goes on. But of course, his regular and non-found footage artwork is amazing too. Just look at how horrifically beautiful this is.

I wanted to make a post like this because it pains how aside from badly done lore videos that just give you misinformation about the creatures (aside from Ancient Horror and Billy Styler, they're the goats), Trevor's creatures rarely get talked about and analyzed like this. You know what they say. "Fine, I'll do it myself".

I spent a long ass time starting from the very bottom of Trevor's Instagram page to climbing to the very top (almost at least, still have to go through a few more illustrations). Bookmarking cryptids, giving some of them names of my own, and just overall having fun looking at these designs and the captions provided with them. The reason behind that being that I don't want to focus solely on the popular cryptids. The lesser known ones deserve appreciation too! I would've never known what Trevor's first cryptid looked like if I didn't take that extra step.

So yeah, this was fun! Looking forward to doing more of this at some point. Thank you for reading and have a snazzy day!
