Random enquiry based on my previous random tag ramble: If by any chance there's anyone here who studied Ocean Sciences at this mysterious uni in North Wales, I'd love to hear what impression you got of the bio students in the shared lectures.

The habéby, also known as the fotsiaondre, or "White Sheep", is a cryptid that has been reported on Madagascar. This drawing of the creature was done by Philippe Coudray for his 2009 Guide des Animaux Cachés. It is described by witnesses as a large white sheep with drooping, furry, ears. It typically is said to have an unusually long muzzle compared to other sheep. The habéby has a white coat that is spotted with browns. It is also said to have cloven hooves that can carry it up the steepest mountainsides.

Unlike normal sheep, the habéby is said to be entirely nocturnal. It has large eyes that are described as staring and disconcerting. It will even stand up to large dogs. These odd features have some researchers believing that the habéby is not a sheep at all. It is thought by some that these creatures could have been misidentified terrestrial lemurs.

The horrid reality of Homonculus'....

Top of the morning to you, fellow truthers. I have something horrible to fill you in on. Some of the more advanced truthers may have knowledge on what a homonculus is, little creatures, fusions of man and something else, something... sinister... well most people have chalked these fusions up to fiction, whether they resulted this hypothesis from their own sheltered imagination, or from government mind-blocking them from the BIG TRUTH, it matters nonetheless. They're real, so horribly real.

Now, you might be thinking, how can I come to this conclusion, where is my evidence. Where are my undeniable facts. Well, here you go. Reported by the government ITSELF!

Now you might be thinking, little truther, this is an alien? Why am I pretending to see a homonculus, when this is so clear to be a *matter-de-facto* extra-terrestrial. Well, come closer to papa truth. Let me rephrase those questions for you, "Why would the government lie to me". See how genuinely ridiculous you sound? I have seen aliens before, and they are in fact 1. Grey, 2. Large and 3. have a massive forehead. This was obviously a ploy, created by a pact between the lizard over-lords and the aliens living in the hollow earth in an attempt to hide their true forms from ME, who was so close to cracking the case till I got kicked off from the case... This is a homonculous, shriveled up and dehydrated.

Now once again, knowing my fanbase are free-thinking non-sheep's, you may be thinking. For why? I'll tell you. The hollywood elite. This has been going on for hundreds of years. I'll shoot you a question in return. Have you ever worn an old jester outfit? Have you ever seen a non- horizontally challenged individual wear a jester outfit. No you haven't. This because the masters from the house of wisdom in islam have been creating these man-animal hybrids to serve as entertainment for kings as queens for peace treaties! Now your mind is positively blown, i'll shown you one last thing.

Here, you can see trump taking this hybrid on a morning walk...

Here, we see him YELLING at this homonculous to work on his lawn faster.

Now truthers, this may come as a shock to you, but this time, its not the beast-cryptid-horrid-disgusting-hybrids that are the villains of this story... its the world elites, the 1%. Now you might be unconvinced, after all hes taking the top one on a leisurely stroll, and the bottom maybe was just slacking at his job. But this is not the reality, sadly. The top one, who we'll call homonculus 1, has a name. Cory Beck. Now homonculus 1 has reportedly no feet. Trump was horridly dragging him on his nubs through -10 degree weather, where he soon froze to death solid. Homonculus 2, was actually working as hard as he could. As hard as his 3 little hearts let him, until he sadly passed away from heat stroke in the coal mines soon after.

I'm sorry truthers if this was a sad one. But you can stop this now! Save your local homonculus and we can make tomorrow better for the outcast freaks society has appropriately tagged as Lepers of the community. Truth out.

[ye-olde-tardis]

I have a local cryptid that I've seen about twice. Nobody who believes me can understand what it looks like, and everyone else just thinks I'm crazy.

Before you get super excited, I want to let you know that it's some sort of bug or animal. It's not extra terrestrial or monster-esc, it's just a really weird bug.

TW for vague descriptions of dead animals

Several things to get out of the way before I can describe it to you.... I live in Michigan, so anything that doesn't live around here is out of the question... and I collect bones from dead animals.

Ok, now the describing. About a year ago I was out tending to my maceration station (the place I keep my roadkill so that the bugs can eat away the bits and I can collect the bones once they're done) when I spotted this.... thing.

It was about four inches long, two inches wide. It had wings, and was flying like how a humming bird would do. Sort of hovering and dashing around. It's abdomin had two bright yellow lines and the shape of it reminded me of a wasp. It's face looked like a butterfly's face, with a probiscus and those weird shaped eyes. It had six legs, but when it landed the wings didn't stop flapping. The wings themselves were short and I couldn't get a good look at them because they never stopped moving, but they could have been a different color than the rest of it. I think it's main color was black but I can't quite remember.

I ran inside to grab a jar to catch it, but it was gone when I came back. I remember researching bugs, butterflies, humming bird moths, beetles.... none of them matched what I saw. And if they came close, none of them ate dead things.

That's right. It eats dead things. Today, I saw it again. I didn't have my phone (a mistake I'll try not to make again. I need a picture of this thing.) I watched it scout out the best place to land, and when it finally did, it unfurled its probiscus and started drinking.

I had a jar this time... (I wanted to catch some American carrion beetles to pin) but I was kinda scared of it. When it saw me trying to catch it, it CAME TWARD ME and started loudly buzzing. When I backed off of it, it flew away.

I'll update with pictures if I ever manage to get some. But it could be a year before I ever see the thing again.

Merfolk in the Trail of Cryptids (for @jennywolfgal)

woah hey i wasnt expecting to have participated in mermay bet here i am now. This is for @jennywolfgal and her project the Trail of Cryptids which i talked about awhile ago with her dragons. enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Another group of species endemic to this alternate earth are the legendary Merfolk. Trident wielding Half-man half-fish people of the sea of the myths in our world. The merfolk here aren’t humans or hominids, nor are they even great apes. But instead they are a sister-clade of the family Cebidae. They are related to the Capuchin monkeys of central and south America.

They split off 10 million years ago with a similar evolutionary history to the cetaceans. Allowing an evolution of similar extremeness akin to the time between Pakicetus and Dorudon.

Icthypithicids contain a variety of aquatic monkey species. True merfolk belong in the genus Meralosapiens. With some species inhabiting the mediteranean, coast of east Europe, and their ancestral ground the Caribbean with a leaner build adorned in less fat.

To start off physically, They are like Cetaceans, kind of. their tail extended to an extreme degree to swim. Unlike cetaceans and like some ancient artwork of mermaids of our earth. Their legs still remain useful to swim and hold onto partners. Their arms freed up, remain as manipulators. They remain folded to reduce drag. Which lets them hold onto large objects and young merfolk when breastfeeding.

Uniquely they have a full head of hair like humans in spite of the drag created. This hair is maintained and kept healthy through grooming with the aid of two serrated claws on the lower half of their hand. Their teeth are tipped with canines and slowly become more trident shaped further back. Which they use to flush water out of their mouth. And Lastly their nostrils can completely close like a seal, and are at the very front of the face to ensure they breach the water first.

Ecologically, they are mostly carnivorous. They eat a wide array of fish, squid, and other small marine life. They take a particular liking to seaweeds and copepods, which they use their trident teeth to filter them out of the water. They take so much of a liking to copepods they will even follow their vertical migration.

They are quite social and live in family pods. Like mentioned earlier they will groom each other to strengthen social bonds. While most Icthypithicids are comparable in intelligence to their capuchin cousins. Meralaosapiens are fully sophont organisms that have the capacity for understanding and creating art and complex language. Technologically they are comparable to neolithic humans. Most populations use stone tools or other organisms slightly bred for more cooperation, living tools if you will. While other populations scavenge for more advanced tools left behind by humans.

Overall they are neutral to humans. Often keeping their distance or outright hiding from humans. Some more aggressive merfolk will attack or even hunt humans as a source of preyluring them in with their locks of hair. Which is believed to have arisen from a few merfolk cultures going through famine and growing desperate for food, eventually looking to their cousins beyond the water.

And of course there are others naturally curious of their terrestrial relatives and will frequently come up to human divers, even attempting to communicate with them. The future is uncertain, but hopefully the humanity of this earth will treat these people with respect and maybe even lend them a hand.

CRYPTID HAL AND CRYPTID BILLY!!<3

I honestly like seeing Hal either as a bird cryptid or aquatic cryptid, there's no terrestrial one, that man loves flying.. but the aquatic one is simply because nowadays i am in love with sirens tbh, they be interesting.

Flash: *opens a bag of chips*

Seal Billy giving him the biggest puppy dog eyes, while staring at him hopefully while doing the classic baby seal whine:

Honestly i love lighting Billy and OF COURSE the Bat wants to comfort Sparkles(im calling lighting Billy that), gosh that man is such a adoption addict...he definitely cried when Fluffball(seal Billy nickname) slept on his lap, he's like the Watchtower cat's, just like those classic "cat's office" cats, now im thinking of a batfam+fluffball interactions

Also may i present to you.. fluffy otter Billy? I have found one on Pinterest and i almost cried at how adorable it looked.. to send the pictures i will have to leave anon mode lolz, but i don't mind tbh!

Also another take: Actual bat Billy, for the BAT-son, not because of Batman so it becomes ironic that he adopts a kid with bat features and more of a: "My bio dad used to be a goddamn actual BATman.. oh lord..."

None can resist the EYES!

Lil otter Billy is indeed adorable but can I offer a specific feline in the form of the Cheetah? Lightning fast, cute, kinda scrawny cause they’re thin, and they CHIRP!! Like a bird they CHIRP

Little otter Billy holding onto as much as he can, that video of a mom grooming her baby until he’s extra fluffy and can float cause of all the fluff cause he can’t swim yet so mom can leave for a moment, lil otter Billy dashing around people.

Bat billy would be kinda spooky but imagine just imagining him having a bit of a screwed up nose and a lot more fluff to his design, like a pronounced bit of floof around his neck and a more flow cape ala Dracula style cause he thinks he’s funny

Akita Lion

Origin: Akita (Japan) The Akita Lion is a phantom cat from Japan. In the early 1990s a hunter was hunting in the snowy mountains in the northern Akita Prefecture when he saw a large lion-like creature on a slope in a crawling position watching him. His shotgun shells were intended for hunting rabbits so he slowly retreated

[the-masquerade-council]

We've noticed a gap in language for specifically referring to animals in systems that function like/mostly like normal animals. so I'm coining this term. I have been using it for awhile now in therapy and when talking to other we know systems.

Beastie (plural Beasties)

Refers to animal alters/headmates in systems/collectives that cognitively function in a way different than that of the non-animal altars/headmates in the system/collective.

Beasties do NOT need to be known animal. They can be anything that would be clearly identified as an animal (e.g mythical beasts, fictional hybrids, speculative animals, elemental animals, and the like)

Not all animals in systems/collectives are beasties due to the fact that the term refers to a animalistic way of functioning. Whether or not the term applies to a certain alter/headmate is intentionally somewhat vague, and and is dependent upon the context of the other alters/headmates in the system/collective.

Differs from the term non-human alter/headmate in that not all non-human alters/heamates are animals, and a lot of non-human alters/headmates function cognitively similarly to their human counterparts.

I am part of a OSDD-1"B" system, and consider myself "Endo complex", I don't care what type of system/plurals use this term. As I'm coining it to fill a gap in language. HOWEVER I would like this term to be exclusive to systems/plurals, and exclusively to refer to alters/headmates that are literally animals. It is not to be used in contexts of pet regression, animal-hearted, otherkin/singlet therianthropes, petplay, etc. That is just not what the term is meant to be used for.

And here's a flag just for fun

with and without symbol. symbol used here. If anyone is willing to design a unique symbol specifically for this flag I would greatly appreciate it.

Navy Blue is for aquatic beasties such as fish, sharks, aquatic mammal, aquatic invertebrate, etc.

Deep Sea Green is for amphibious and semiaquatic beasties such as frogs, salamanders, newts, caecilian, river otters, crocodilians, penguins, etc. 

Forest Green is for terrestrial and arboreal beasties such as most mammals, birds, reptiles, and many arthropods.

Olive Green is for herbivorous beasties such as horses, toucans, sloths, deer, tortoises, hummingbirds, aphids, bees, and many more.

Beige is for omnivorous beasties such crows, hogs, bears, canines, some lizards, chickens, many Testudines, and many more.

Brass is for carnivorous and  insectivorous beasties such as felids, birds of prey, snakes, crocodilians, spiders, sharks, most bats, some lizards, and many more.

Brick Red is for beasties that are animals that can exist in the outerworld, like the animals mentioned above. This stripe is also for beasties that are Introjects or factives of real animals.

Purple Red is for hybrid beasties which could be something possible in the outerworld like ligers, or something impossible like griffins. This stripe is also for beasties that are Introjects or faitives/fucktives of animals.

Deep Violet is for beasties that are mythical creatures such as dragons, unicorns, phoenixes, cryptids, and more. This stripe is also for beasties that are Introjects or fictives of fictional animals.

[localsharkcryptid]

This just in: Cryptid Brand Creepers are coming back and they are just getting weirder!! What the actual hell is Azhdarchid anatomy and it only gets worse when you make them solely terrestrial - apparently.

Anyways, my creepers can be summarized with the words, they're weird as hell, so wrong in the anatomy department but are horrifically good at existing despite it.

1, 15, 18, 32 for the ask meme!

1. what are 3 things you’d say shaped you into who you are?

One, the pre-loaded playaway audiobook of Guardians of Ga'Hoole: The Capture from my elementary school library. Two, the amount of cemeteries in my area. Three, learning how to bake chocolate chip cookies whenever I want.

15. what do you think of when you hear the word “home”?

warm, snuggly puppy dogs...

18. do you believe in ghosts and/or aliens?

Ghosts, no. There's simply no more evidence for ghosts than there is for bigfoot or unicorns or any other terrestrial cryptid. We would have something substantial by now if a phenomena the reported extent that ghosts are actually existed, because scientists are nothing if not keen to catalogue and study everything. We do not, therefore, there are no ghosts. Aliens, on the other hand, I'm agnostic about. There's literally no way to prove or disprove their existence. The only thing we really can prove is the reality of space travel: that it fucking sucks. meaning if there are aliens we'd recognize as sapient species on the same level as a human being, they can't reach us any more than we can reach them.

32. how many tabs do you have open right now?

Only the one, because i love my computer and i don't want her to suffer by constantly running 1 million tabs.

Sims 4 Loredump #1

My world is divided up into a diverse array of sapient species, most of which possess the ability to interbreed, leading to a societal majority of hybrids that can trace their heritage across several species. But there are a few main categories to consider.

Terrestrials: A culmination of planetary natives, including all primarily land-dwelling sapients. Terrestrials arose naturally through evolution.

Aquatics: The water-born counterpart to terrestrials. Consists of sapients native to the planet that primarily live underwater. Aquatics, too, came to be from evolution.

Extraterrestrials: A giant category containing any sapient non-native to the planet. This includes species that evolved on planetary satellites, such as species that are native to the moon.

Occults: Entities of an unexplained origin, assumed to violate the known laws of reality. This is most commonly reserved for cryptids.

Androids: Artificially produced mechanical sapients are collectively considered Androids. Their sapience was proven not long ago, resulting in their liberation from previously designated service. Unlike AI that has been trained to mimic the functions of sapients, android technology was created by recreating the brain itself in a digital medium. Hormones are replaced by variables, for instance.

Existentials: Creatures who strongly affect existence or are strongly related to the nature of the universe itself (such as creatures who have been around since the beginning of the universe.) Technically, any other creature could become an ‘Existential’ on these caveats, if they acquire the right power. A few sapient species have reached this point. But most Existentials, such as Demons, were born into the role they have.
