Strange Cryptids: The Monsters You Don't Know

Going to tell you about some funky cryptids and mythical creatures you might not have heard of before. They range from Oklahoma and Fresno all the way to Japan and the middle east.

The medieval snails have a theory to them, actually - it was a joke about how snails were a fearsome beast that waged war on people's plants, so, what to send? A warrior, a knight, etc. It's like sending in the fire department because you found a spider.

Fun fact about Saint Christopher: It is believed by some scholars that "canaanite" was misheard as "canine," which caused the saint to be depicted as having a dog head.

[@burtismydogsname]

Why would it be Canaanites were the most common non Jewish people in the Old Testament I feel like no one would mistranslate that poorly

[@Snocone333]

probably not a fun fact then

[@gotzvonunentberlichingen1452]

@@burtismydogsname, I have no idea in which time period this is supposed to have happened in, but with stuff like vowel shifts and the popularity of the word canine, I can’t imagine cananite and canine to have been homophonous many centuries ago.

[@wildlock1552]

Wendigo aren't actually deer human hybrids, that's just a recent thing to make them look cool. They actually just look like really tall and really skinny zombies

[@willharner3601]

The last 2 minutes goes kinda off the rails. I love it.

Rat Man Bob, you are truly an amazing creator who is filling a hole left by other great creators that have come and gone. Keep doing what your doing and you will be big in no time.

Please tell me who I want to check them out too even if they don't make stuff anymore 🤘

[@Sootball]

@@cjsdizzy for myself, I was thinking that Rat Man Bob might fill the hole that "Sam O' Nella Academy" left behind. It's fun facts wrapped in meme.

[@15MinuteUpload]

Your theory on cryptids is incredible and the general concept of some random guy doing weird shit in the woods getting spotted by someone else is something I've always kind of vaguely thought of as being the reason for most myths and folklore throughout history, and you can even extend it to humans seeing some nonhuman activity that they didn't have an explanation for and then, for example, making an entire global religion out of it. The idea that most beliefs throughout history are just because of people getting really high and seeing a rainbow (or in this case seeing a dude who likes to pretend to be an animal) is very fitting somehow.

[@dank_smirk2ndchannel200]

I love how the Tsuchinoko literally just looks like a gaboon viper.

Fun fact:there's a cryptid of a man with a wolf head in Scotland (probably) that gives fish to poor families I can just imagine a wolf headed Scottish person saying "aye that'll do"

[@BroD.productions]

out of all the cryptids my favorite is The Rat Man, and his name is Bob

[@Snugturtle7]

The strange underwater vtubers made me do a spit take. Truly terrifying and unknowable.

Are Lot Lizards also cryptids?

[@bigbadbubbygaming1018]

[@sethleoric2598]

My personal theory for Dogheaded men and other Cynocephali: most of it was a figure of speech and slander but it got lost in translation and got taken literally.

[@derosiflo6524]

What an edit. Also you really like saying *DOH-VAR-KOO* (not gonna look back to how that thing is written)

[@berond2118]

i just realize that if we place a furry in an un contacted tribe we can make them think its a god

[@scryforhelp]

Or they might ventilate them with arrows! Win-Win!

[@noabman4093]

no we can't, you're just racist

[@ogonbio8145]

Be nice to furries, there's people into grosser things. *cough cough* Twitter *cough*

[@Precisionstriker]

Until they try to eat it.

[@KingGiganTitanusROARKing]

I know you’re just joking around but I’ll just convey something I’ve learned from working in anthropology scholarship: many, many cultures take behaviors like sorcery and witchcraft very seriously. Most sorcerers in indigenous cultures utilize animal totems and skins. From there, it becomes pretty clear how contemporary furries would be treated in the situation you describe

[@friendlyvinca2649]

I was expecting an art analysis or an 'they were racist' type of thing, ı didn't expect the unified furry theory and ı love it

[@Formula4Dopemine]

Congratulations, your channel mercilessly slaps.

[@nilsgensert5814]

Cool video. have you considered Hypertrichosis as a source of animal-hybrid beliefs? They're real people with a congenital disorder that makes hair grow excessively. One form is all over the body but another form is mostly just the face, literally all of it. They are sometimes called "dog-faced-people" in freak-shows. Since it can be passed down to children, if a family of them lived away from society to avoid being discriminated against, that could totally be interpreted as "a tribe of dog-people living in the distant wilds."

[@musicalmadness98]

Rat man Bob, coming at ya again with the sick vids!

[@SleeplessKnight122]

You're really good at this Bob, can't wait to see this channel blow up!

[@azurewraith2585]

I’ve run into people larping as Frankish soldiers while hiking before so the idea that there are just people being furries in the woods wouldn’t surprise me at all

[@ChibiBoxing]

I loved your theory regarding dog headed people hahaha. In all seriousness, what we know as reality and fiction was way more mixed inbetween back in the day, that's why we see marginalia like something funny, while they were trying to depict "what lays beyond our control". Saint Christopher which is my fav saint wasconsidered "outside of the reach of the holy church" and as such, they were depicted eerely. Nevertheless that's a great vid

Iirc the dog headed Saint is a result of a miscommunication/mistranslation And the wendigo’s appearance is not part of the original folklore of the thing Originally, it’s not much more than a cannibal
