Cryptid creatures resemble the common creatures on which they are based, though there is always something obviously strange and different about them.

Types

There are four classifications of cryptids.

Experimental cryptids

Cryptids that were intentionally created by altering a creature are called experimental cryptids and might be created through alchemy, engineering, or magic. Such methods make the cryptid partially constructed in nature and are often volatile or flawed in nature.

Mutant cryptids

Mutation in a creature can alter a creature's appearance and behavior, resulting in a mutant cryptid. Such mutations can be caused by various conditions, such as by an oddity emerging in their ancestry, changes caused by their environment, or exposure to radiation or wild magic.

Primeval cryptids

Scholars who delve into forgotten history might find primeval cryptids, which are living relics from bygone ages that have survived through robustness or vast intellect.

Rumored cryptids

Voicing rumors about a creature might create a rumored cryptid. As the belief in the tale grows and spreads wider, the creature can transform accordingly.
