I made this as a zine years ago, and I realize that I never posted it here. I'm honestly really proud of it and I should do something more with this idea.

The Lake Champlain Monster

Inktober Daily Cryptid #25: Champ (aka The Lake Champlain Monster)

[witchw0lf]

Was reading about cryptids and wanted to draw something inspired by Champ!

There's the Lake Champlain monster. I don't know if that counts.

The Great Lakes should have their own very small species of whale

I've thought about a cryptid side-scrolling beat-em up game where you'd play as various cryptids fighting malevolent cryptids and people who want to exploit cryptids in general.

A Sasquatch named Jacko would be representing North America, a Yeti named Ti-Chu would be representing Asia, a Chupacabra named Karovd would be representing South America, a Yowie would be representing Australia, Owlman would be representing Europe and the Nandi bear would be representing Africa. There would be human allies, but they wouldn't be playable.

Jacko would recover health from eating roots, berries, leaves, cow or rat meat, stolen fish, donuts and chocolate.

Enemy cryptids would include the Goatman and the Beast of Bray Road. Cameo cryptids would include Mothman, the Loch Ness Monster and Champ.

The main human villains would be from this state based on the 1920's Soviet Union and early 2000's Pakistan and they would be trying to create ape-human hybrid super-soldiers, but the twist would be they would be completely useless, having the intelligence of a chimpanzee, the strength of a human being and impossible to order around.

At least one level would be about rescuing the Loch Ness Monster.

I have no game making skill, but I wouldn't mind being the mastermind behind it, but the possibility of it ever becoming an actual thing is impossible.

Champy Spotted at Essex Ferry Dock (circa 1980?)

Journey into yesteryear via two historic postcards, one depicting Champy, our legendary lake monster, and the other, Split Rock Lighthouse.

Champy spotted at Essex ferry dock?!?! Once upon a time… Champy Spotted at Essex Ferry Dock (Photo: Kathryn Reinhardt) I’m gambling that it was around 1980 for no reliable reasons except the look and condition of the Old Dock Restaurant, the presence of ice shanties on a throughly frozen lake with no ferry canal, and the incredibly well executed snow/ice sculpture just north of the Essex ferry…

Cryptids & Creatures of Folklore Drawtober Day 23 — Champ

For hundreds of years there have been reports of a mysterious creature lurking in the depths of Lake Champlain. The Iroquois and Mohawk people were the first to tell tales of encountering this beast. Over the years, there have been over 300 reported sightings of the creature which came to be nicknamed Champ. P. T. Barnum even offered a reward of $50,000 for the capture of Champ but it was never claimed.

In 1977, a woman named Sandra Mansi captured a photograph of Champ which appears to show a long-necked, plesiosaur-like creature in the water. However, some believe the figure is misidentified driftwood.

BREAKING: Champ on Sonar?!

Katy Elizabeth known from her Champ Search, recently was messaged by Scott Thurber. He was out fishing within a “ball of bait” area, and happened to glance over at his Garmin, and quickly took a screen shot that captured this incredible image that looks like the shape and form. Of what New Yorkers and Vermonters would identify, as Champ the Lake Champlain Sea Serpent. Katy will be conducting an…

I love cryptids so so so much and always have but I engage with them very differently than I did when I was like 7. Back then I was obsessed with evidence and evaluating the existence of each cryptid individually to decide what I did and didn't believe in. If I didn't believe in them, I still liked the folklore, but I took the ones I did believe in very seriously. Now I love the folklore and reading about encounters but if you ask me if I believe in any of them I just wiggle my fingers and say "wHo's To sAy" in a spooky voice

Have You Heard About Champ? --Monster of Lake Champlain --with Clippings 1873-1929

In 2018 the woman who took the iconic photo of “Champ” died. Sandra Mansi lost her battle with cancer when she was 74. On Tuesday afternoon, July 5, 1977, Sandra Mansi of Bristol, Connecticut, knelt on the shores of Lake Champlain somewhere between St. Albans, Vermont, andthe Canadian border, and snapped what is widely touted as the best lake monster photograph ever taken. To the best of anyone’s…
