The Strange Creatures of the Lumberwoods | Part 1

[@DinoDiego16]

I know this one was a bit different, but I hope you guys still enjoyed this video! Strong chance I won't upload again this month, so just want to say hope you all have a good Halloween!

[@shanewillplay9867]

And most of these things kind of look cute

[@Don-ds3dy]

Stick Monkeys are real! They're like bigfoot but without the feet. Instead they got long stilts for legs that they stick in the ground to stand upright. They're easily mistaken for trees.

[@Devin_Stromgren]

You misunderstood the gumberoo a bit. It's essentially a bear made of rubber. The skin isn't just tough, it's stretchy and bouncy, to the point that any projectile fired at it just bounces back at whoever fired it with equal force.

[@DinoDiego16]

This definitely makes more sense about it. And makes it even weirder.

[@Devin_Stromgren]

@@DinoDiego16 I had a copy of this book when I was a kid, as any good Minnesota child should.

[@JeRefuseDeBienPrononcerBaleine]

Rubber skin that bounce bullets back, incredible appetite, immensly tough. OMG they found Luffy

[@douggaudiosi14]

He misunderstands alot

[@spinosaurusstriker]

​@@douggaudiosi14 can hou mention others?

[@biggs8126]

I’m usually used to hearing about scientifically plausible cryptids so it’s a nice change to hear about weird ass folklore monsters

[@ImSquiggs]

The Tote-Road Shagamaw is definitely the case of an embarrassed tracker misidentifying some moose prints and not wanting to admit it. "I swears it wasn't no bears, it was a Shagamaw!! He does some moose walking and then jumps on his hands and walks with bear paws to trick people into misidentifying tracks for no foreseeable gain!"

[@obscene1349]

I feel like between cryptids and supernatural horror the folk monsters get lost and forgotten. I love how wild and just plain bizarre they all are.

[@macroglossumstellatarum5932]

The concept of the Hugag is much older than that - The germanic tribes told Caesar pretty much the same thing about the Moose, and how to hunt it.

[@RedMageUltra]

I can’t get over that the Slide Rock Bolter looks so much like the 7-Colored Fish card from yugioh lol

[@aryshandono3249]

I've read plenty of cryptids but I don't think I've heard most of these. Interesting... who knows what else could be out there besides the likes of Ningen, El Chupacabra, etc?

[@DinoDiego16]

Yeah, ive never heard of any of these either until reading about them for this video. Definitely very weird

[@RalseiGaming]

i have two cryptid rabbit holes you can go down alien spores and microscopic cryptids

[@aurahoneydew9607]

Lumberjacks inadvertantly inventing Pokémon. Complete with wild Pokedex entries.

[@robrice7246]

I wonder how the people behind Cryptozoologicon would speculate what these animals may look like?

[@shinobi-no-bueno]

You talking about E.D.G.E.?

[@armata_strigoi_0]

​@@shinobi-no-bueno I know I'm very late to this but no, the Cryptozoologicon is a book created by Darren Naish, John Conway and C.M.Koseman (they also made All Yesterdays which is more famous). It helped spearhead the wave of re-imagining cryptids in scientifically plausible ways.

[@tfordham13]

We don't most are ab just jokes or drunken visons

[@matthewmckee3762]

One of my favorite stories from the 2015 book is about the Tote-Road Shagamaw. The hunter may only be prepared for a moose or a bear, but the Shagamaw wasn’t prepared for a fly fisherman! If that makes sense to you, you’ve read the book! If not, go do so!

[@sanderdegroot3380]

Great video! really nice to learn about some rare cryptids.

[@SuperKingGhidorah]

Dude KZbin has been slacking. How did it not tell me about this? Still great video those things look like they came from a Dr Seuss book 😂

[@tubebobwil]

Totally going to throw these into my D&D campaign.

[@SHDUStudios]

Same here!

[@Tripoderoo]

"I throw a fire torch on the gumberoo,and I rolled a 20" "Wait no, don't do that!" "The gumberoo explodes and kills you"

[@richmcgee434]

Poke around online a bit, there have been multiple Dragon articles in years past covering North American folklore critters. Doubtless others from 3PP using the OGL as well as homebrew stuff on blogs and forums. Do yourself a favor and look up the legends of the Pamola, a Maine regional myth that's part man, part eagle, part moose, and basically Thor or Zeus on top of all that.

[@tubebobwil]

@@richmcgee434 thank you, Pamola is awesome!

[@richmcgee434]

@@tubebobwil That it is. I want a miniature for him. :)

How does the Slide Mountain Bolter get back up the slopes? ... Asking for a friend.

[@Solodolo84]

I think it uses his hooked tail to climb back up 🍻

[@drrichardew7878]

I once read that it would actually situate itself between two mountains, and it would use the momentum from the first slide to go to the top of the 2nd mountain, which it could then repeat over and over. Kinda like a slippery halfpipe

[@Mugelbbub16]

The roperite looks like a pokemon ngl. Heck these animals sound like they could be The Croods movies.

[@ThatGuy38757]

Nice video man, i loved every second of it.

[@DinoDiego16]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MrEmilable]

The gumberoo is basically just a round bear.

[@richmcgee434]

It's supposed to be essentially made of rubber, hence the "bullets bouncing off" thing.

[@charliemiskwaabineshii9001]

Yeah , lol. This is great, can't wait till the next one 😃🙃

[@bagea]

great video!

[@DinoDiego16]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@D.Snom.]

One hell of a Pokédex

[@MercuryKnight5]

I've heard of the Hugag before, under the name of the Hodag.

[@shinobi-no-bueno]

That is actually a promiscuous bsub species 😜

[@davidbirch98]

Good call. Hodag. It was a proven hoax. These wierd creatures are all ridiculous and just for entertainment.

[@richmcgee434]

I've seen it spelled as both hodag and hudag, with the former being the most common.

[@armata_strigoi_0]

Late, but they're actually two completely separate creatures, they just have similar names.

[@ToyInsanity]

The Hodag and the Hudag are both in the book

[@chairmannom9507]

This was great!! Excited to see more!!!

[@Vanished_Mostly]

This is very reminiscent of that Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them book from 2001. Or vice versa, I suppose. Names, and all.

[@kuitaranheatmorus9932]

I love this video

[@Kid_illithid]

Would love to adapt these to dnd

[@diaborodevil3161]

We need a survival game and you have to survive in a world where these exist

[@diaborodevil3161]

Huh is it just me or do lumberjacks have the weirdest mythology

[@chloesibilla8199]

Lumberjacks were thinking of shnouwzers before speczoo ever could

these are kind of like old timey pokémon or neopets

[@MercuryKnight5]

No love for the Side-hill Gouger or the Guyascutus?

[@richmcgee434]

Huh. That's interesting, I've always seen snoligoster spelled snollygoster, and the spellcheck here redlines the first version as well. Then again, that isn't how anyone spells leprechaun either, so maybe it's just this book. 8:20 Surely that's wap-ah-loose (rhymes with big-old-moose) rather than -loose-ee there?

[@Frogboyaidan]

Cool
