"The shores of Iceland hold the legend of a terrifying beast"

*Shows drawing of comically depressed looking armadillo guy*

I'm so hyped for the 26 hour long mega compilation when this series ends in 12 years

[damianvanlier]

It cracks me up when he goes a tangent about larger sized versions of animals and just ends it with, "Dont care big monkey moving on."

As someone who specializes in Wisconsin Lore, I LOVE that the hodag has earned S-Tier. But I would like to expand on the part about how it rises from the ashes of an ox. It isn't just an ox that has been mistreated by its ox driver, in the original story it is SPECIFICALLY an ox that has suffered extensive verbal abuse and swear words at the hands of many different ox drivers who all spoke different languages. At the time in Wisconsin, there was a lot of immigrants in the lumber trade, ox drivers were notoriously surly, and oxen would often trade hands between drivers several times during their lives. It is only when an ox accumulates enough verbal abuse and swear words hurled at it in different languages that the ox is at risk of becoming a hodag.

Furthermore, it doesn't necessarily rise from the ashes of an ox, but ANY verbally abused ox will rise UNLESS it is cremated for at least seven years (to burn away the bad vibes I guess). It can rise from an uncremated corpse as well, but it rises from the ashes whenever the cremator fails to burn the ox for long enough (which is, again, seven years of cremation).

What I love most about Wendi is his dedication to having an entire whiteboard with detail on it in all his videos…that is 99% of the time completely illegible to the viewer 😂

Love Wendi dissing lake monsters while a Nessie pendant is on the wall right behind him

[DanteTheSlayerX]

Who needs a New Year's Eve party when you can binge watch the cryptid videos 🔥😤

"It's Cool, it's Creepy, it's Classic, and you know what that means -> it's B tier"
the C-alliteration and then B-tier hit my brain at SUCH a right angle

I think a cool idea would be to put a world map up behind you. pin the locations on the world for each cryptid.

Wendigoon apologizing for quoting the Lorax just made my day so much better

[Vanos_Carea]

I could legitimately listen to wendigoon talk about his favorite colors of paint and be satisfied with it.

[Weirdisnorm]

As a Navajo person, I've asked my family about skin walkers and they have told me to not talk about them or even think of them, as it can put you on their radar.

Fun fact. In the Congo there was a giant snake spotted by Col. Remy van Lierde and passengers of the helicopter he was flying in 1959. The black and white picture wendigoon put up in the megaconda section of the video was the picture they took from the helicopter. According to him and the other passengers the snake rose it's head about 10 feet and tried to strike at the helicopter. It's considered by scientists to be the most credible sighting of a giant monster snake as the picture is not doctored, the testimonies have never changed and line up with what snake experts are familiar with, the colonel is considered a very truthful man by his peers and doesn't seem like the kind of person to lie for fame and locals ofcourse tell tale of a similar serpent. This is the kind of cryptid story that really gets me excited.

[PrimordialBoi]

Hell yeah just in time for me to do my dishes ❤

[AngelofGrace]

I'm Australian and the idea of a giant rabbit crypid really just being wallabies or kangaroos is absolutly *sending me*, I love it

[RIANDOA]

Iceland's cryptid scene is LEGIT, Skeljaskrimsli is such a cool creature. They even have a museum devoted to sea monsters.

One of my favorite details about the Hopkinsville Goblins is the fact that it has cultural influence outside of the US, being the inspiration for the Pokemon Sableye

[TheRealXyvar]

I like how you're structuring the iceberg based on how entertaining it is and not "how an iceberg is supposed to be, " I think that's really cool! :D

[IamMenaceVO]

I like how as Wendigoon's closing out the video, the sun is steadily getting brighter and brighter. Very poetic in a way, especially being as positive and inspirational as he is.

"The thought of a giant sturgeon is scary" try living in SE Texas with water full of monsters. The concept of being in water is terrifying but what scares me the most is Alligator Gar, after one snuck up on me while I was swimming in a river. I never even saw it till it was about 5 feet away in waist deep water, completely still and broadsiding me to probably make himself known or size me up, if the water was any murkier I never would have saw him creep up on me. I'm sure it wasn't gonna do anything hostile but I was only 10 at the time and having flashbacks to Finding Nemo's Barracuda so I just shuffled away as calmly I could and I've had an irrational fear of them ever since. And don't get me started on Catfish, one Bayou I used to visit had Catfish skulls the size of a man's torso tied to trees as trophies.
