The Local Cryptid Welcome to The Local Cryptid, where spooky creatures roam free. Welcome. I hope that you enjoy the wandering adventure we are on together!

Once upon a time, a burnt out millennial discovered that chasing the American dream by working themselves to the bone didn't actually get them very far in the long run. Thinking to themselves - why don't I put all this effort into something I could make, love, and stand behind? Reaching out to the local myths and legends, and getting permission from the things that go bump in the night, a plan was concocted in the wee hours of the night and the Local Cryptid LLC was born!

Ya'll, I know you've heard of the Fresno night crawlers. But did you know that they are SUPER cute? And so sweet. They just really like taking long walks.
at night.
in the dark.
in poorly lit situations.

as one does.

ahem. ANYWAYS. This amazing design by Twisty Prints is here in the shop! We 3D printed these in house, and you have 3 options for how you'd like to bring home your new friend - either a fully blank one, solid white with painted eyes, OR just in time for Pride - rainbow toes!!

"People speak of hope as if it this delicate, ephemeral thing made of whispers and spider webs, easily broken and destroyed.
But it's not.

Hope has dirt on her face, blood on her knuckles, the grit of of dust and blood in her hair. Spitting out a tooth, she rises again and again."

Listen. Life is amazing and terrible. Wonderful and awful. But if you don't stick around through the awful, you will miss all the amazing and wonderful.
Have you ever seen kittens wobbling around learning to walk?
Have you heard that one frog that looks SO GRUMPY and when it's made it has the cutest SQUEAK I've ever heard?
OH OH OH!
Have you SEEN the aurora borealis??? The OCEAN? A MOUNTAIN???
Omg. You gotta see this stuff. Stay. ❤

OH. My. GAWWWWWDS. Ya'll look what Chewy / did for International Corgi Day!!!!

I'm crying. This is beautiful! This is hand painted! It's so unexpected and SO SWEET. Chewy, you continue to delight and surprise me. Thank you for this, it's so incredibly previous and wonderful. And you caught Arwyn's stuck lip PERFECTLY.

She gave it a thorough inspection and now has even more demands than before, because only royalty gets their painting done these days. She's gonna go brag to all her fae and cryptid friends, I just know it.

Thank you Chewy. This is incredible.

Sam the cat looks all soft and sweet - which is true - but that isn't the end of the descriptions possible.

You gotta be careful about those snap judgements.
Sometimes you get them so, so very wrong. *tail flicks in warning*

One of the more interesting native creatures that have befriended and learned from the Cryptids, is the Praying Mantis. They are equal parts beauty and deadly. Some look like Orchids, others look like dried leaves, and every single one has looked into the future and decided accordingly.

With that proper background provided, we'd like to introduce you first, to Maisie. They come bearing a reminder for you from the wild things that when life gets up in your face and tries to ruin your day, make life regret it.

Look, I am not a praying mantis and they are clearly more confident. But hey, that's why I'm getting this message too. We can learn to be feisty together!

Additionally, we'd like to introduce you to Maeve. They come bearing a message for you from the wild things: "I hope you get all you deserve".

No, I'm sorry, I'm unable to decipher if this is a positive wish or negative one. I quite imagine that it's entirely up to you.

Ogres are interesting creatures, they are becoming quite popular in the monster romance world for.... reasons. ANYWHO, this charmer is Clyde. Clyde is really sure that despite the lack of manners, the leering, and even the very blatant cat calling, that if you just got to know him better you'd think he was pretty awesome.

We think so too. Please, take him home today. Maybe this is the start of a beautiful love story, unless that's too much of a stretch.

One of the main reasons that you don't see Mothman all that often isn't because there aren't disasters to predict, or people to save it's just that.... well.

Mothman has a very deep distraction with lights.

I.... I'm not sure what we can do, but we've started trying to leave different lights on to see which are the most fascinating. It's been a fun experiement! Let us know if you have any additional suggestions we should try out.

So far, his enjoyment of a glowing outdoor light has been well documented, but I learned recently that the lava lamp I put in the shop window was just a match made in cryptid heaven.

Sometimes, you're just a sleepy little guy - it's ok to rest. In fact, this sweet kitsune with 3 tails suggests that you should just take a nap and let everyone know about it. That's a great message, let's all go catch some zzzz's.

Asking for a friend, is anyone else finding the activity of “being an adult” exhausting??? It feels like we are going through some interesting times that just keep getting more and more interesting. I say this with all the support and love in my heart - we are TRYING. But being an adult is so completely over rated.

Hey ya'll, this is Squidly, and I was contacted by the Local Cryptid to give ya'll some words of wisdom. The theory being that us kraken's are unassuming in our youth, looking like Squids and all, so we clearly have acquired some wisdom along the way. I'm only 300 so I'm just a baby in Kraken terms. So I'm going to share something important my mom always said, adjusted for you land types. "Sometimes you have to hug the people you don't like so you know how big a hole to dig."

Thanks for hosting me!
- Squidly

Hey, Local Cryptid here. Um. Everyone, say thanks to Squidly... 😅
*whispers to Squatchy* Dude, I think we might need to hire a marketing professional.

If you want to keep Squidly in mind, you can take them home with you in sticker or hoodie form!

We all feel this way sometimes - scrolling through our social media feeds and giggling at a cute puppy, feeling concerned over a news item, laughing at the moon, crying over a dangling participle, then feeling tempted to try a new dance before you realize you have too many hooves + not enough coordination, and tweak your back requiring you to lie down and lick your wounds.

Just me? Ouch.

Where might aliens land first if they come to Earth? That's what this map purports to answer, by mapping out the locations of alien first contacts on Earth in almost a century of popular films. Will aliens visit cities first, or wander to more vast landscapes? https://bit.ly/48xQpXl

The answer: They’ll likely visit Hollywood darling locations first. In other words—Los Angeles and New York. A few other locales seem to attract more than their average share of UFO landings: The Bay Area, certain parts of the Southwest (Arizona and New Mexico), the Midwest (Chicagoland and Ohio), and the South (particularly Alabama and Florida). Any guesses for which region of the U.S. the aliens skirted, though?

Henry wanted to come and tell ya'll that it's ok to admit when things aren't great. We absolutely do not need to pretend like things are Gucci - sometimes, life is decidedly NOT Gucci.

Look, doing your best doesn't mean giving 110% all the time, to all the things in your life, equally. That's a recipe for burnout! If everything is given 110%, that means nothing is prioritized. Some days your capacity looks different, and that's ok. If things are hitting hard, take care of yourself - you cannot pour from an empty cup. Henry can serve as a reminder to honor those tough feelings.

Henry is a vinyl sticker who would be an absolutely incredible addition to your water bottle, tumbler, notebook, or laptop - avoid that toxic positivity!

📏 Perfect Size: Measuring 2.5x3 inches, this vinyl sticker is ideal for adorning laptops, water bottles, journals, planners, and more. Its durable and weather-resistant material ensures that the vibrant colors and message stay intact wherever you go.
💡 Versatile Use: Whether you're looking for a daily reminder of your inner strength and being honest about how you are doing, this sticker is perfect for personal use or as a thoughtful gift for friends, family, or colleagues.
