Interesting video. Small point about herobrine, a part of what made the original hoax so successful was the fact that it was done before multiplayer had been introduced. The idea of suddenly not being alone in your minecraft world was deeply alien and unsettling. Nowadays it doesn't hit so hard since people are used to seeing other players in their worlds. As I recall the hoaxer did it by repainting the door texture to look like a steve with white eyes.

[@LucidMakesVideos]

This is a good point, I hadn't thought of that!

[@spacesuitcat]

i honestly find the whole concept of cryptids in webfishing kinda cute? like how given the chance, some people like to play as mysterious creatures, from what I've seen they're usually not malicious and are just having their own fun. i personally came across one, but it seemed they had already broken character when i joined, they were running a couple mods that let them fly out to sea and look at us with their eyes poking right out of the water. it was overall a goofy experience. it's kinda charming how much the frankly really simple cosmetic system lets you play characters of all kinds. for crying out loud i once met a person who was doing cosplays of characters, once even dressed up as postal dude and came waving a golden scratch off game prying to sign his petition lol.

[@LucidMakesVideos]

They definitely elicit a level of cuteness from people who see them less as stalkers and more just "little guys".

[@Surkk2960]

This mildly reminds me of The Observer meme that happened many years back in TF2. They were people playing the Spy Class wearing specific cosmetics that had cameras on them and goggles that gave them glowing red eyes and held Red Tape Recorders. They just found odd spots on maps and just stood there watching while the match played out. They were basically like the usual Friendlies, but a bit more ominous. Maybe you should do a vid about TF2 Friendlies if you plan to do vids on tangent player behaviors.

[@Nx042]

Exactly my thoughts too

[@jussomdude8506]

When I started playing I checked the steam community section from my library and saw a video uploaded of somebody who saw a red fox wandering around. It didn't have a name and seemingly didn't respawn after being slowly punched into the ocean so I'm tempted to believe some are actually part of the game. Really goes to show that the generation of children who grew up with playground rumors are the ones making the games now.

[@furnset]

bro became a fishtuber smh hes gonna be stuck in the fishtuber bubble

[@djtheopossum6850]

Has anyone here met "The Fishmonger" They seem to be a person pretending to be an NPC, honestly the way they pretend to be an AI is way creepier than the usual shy cryptids.

[@Zenala]

I had a meeting with a cryptid in a public lobby yesterday, though they were a little bit... different. They did interact with me, but only by pushing me into the water whenever I mentioned their existence and scattered off by the time I was back. They also sent a lot of symbols on chat instead of talking. They're very silly, I love them

[@megamemed2071]

Oh, so people do this in other games? I've been getting bored with tf2, so just for fun id go into lobbies and change my name to The Observer wearing nothing but the big eye cosmetic(the one that turns your head into an eyeball) and while t-posing I'd just watch people play from weird spots of the map. I would just watch until someone walks up to me, then play some creepy sound thru the mic and leave the lobby so it looks like I vanished. If I even bought this game I'd do the same thing the cryptids are doing. And, does that make me a cryptid in tf2? Interesting...

[@TrustedJustus]

That is one dashing cryptid if I do say so myself.

[@MoguTheMagician]

ive encountered one that had a mod that enables them to play the guitar without actually equipping it, it would play a note from time to time and would just stay at a part of the map where there was small puddles and fish there. it definitely was a creepy experience being lured in by the seemingly random guitar notes

[@Zyzzyva72]

As a part time cryptid myself, there's one thing that happens to me that wasnt mentioned, and one thing i do that tends to elicit muuuuch more response without breaking the vibe. For the first, it's not uncommon for me to end up inspiring other players to equip the same loadouts and join me - I've once has 8 players of a 12 player lobby all doing the same thing, without my asking nor encouragement. Dunno how often it happens to other cryptids. Secondly, instead of watching from afar, I choose one "mark" and walk uncomfortably close to them and stare. This both makes me more noticable and encourages that one person to care since they're being singled out. After like 5 mins, I switch targets randomly, and "lock on" to someone else. In my experience, this has lead to a MUCH better experience for all involved - highly recommend. also, i use voidcat but triple shrunk with catsoup eyes - waaaaay creepier imo

[@lord_walrus8611]

how do you do the hide name thing?

[@Zyzzyva72]

@lord_walrus8611 Nameplate? Don't think you can, although you CAN turn off your title by selecting No Title. I specify since my friend thought it was a joke and would literally title you as "No Title" lol

[@DrWhoFan13]

6:50 was so wild, I had to replay that segment to make sure that I didn't mishear it

[@LucidMakesVideos]

I can't blame you, Webfishing is a strange game...

[@metaKnightSpamer777]

I've been this kind of individual in other games. Words can often get in the way of the experience. Speaking or not, Socializing or not, fitting in or not; Sometimes its enough to simply Be. And there isn't anything that can take that away.

[@Creakstar8]

Ooooo if Lucid wrote a creepypasta based off his cryptid experience, I would eat that up

[@LucidMakesVideos]

That would be kinda cool....

[@hatt3r]

The fact I had the same idea without knowing this was a thing is wild, i was gonna use morse code and secret codes and everything and i was late to the party

[@NIMBUSNUMBERNINE]

ive been having some guy named craig balsam stalk me and follow me in every lobby today

[@denyarwing]

Dang, that's wierd. That dude was constantly joining my lobby and then leaving again.

[@krisclocksin8524]

I had an encounter with Craig too last night. Silly little guy that Craig.

[@Terratomere]

hes just some random hacker part of the grincher team that joins random lobbies and leaves at random, he cant really do much i know because ive had him just randomly join

[@HarperBoyle]

I had craig on my server as well. Sent him a love letter but he didn’t read it :(

[@Terratomere]

@@HarperBoyle because its a bot

[@JegErEnBulldozer]

Edit: I didn't notice it at first but its actually xhsea thats in this video 😅 It's kinda crazy how one of the guys on my steam friends list went around screwing with people and calling himself grincher and ending up in many of the images and posts people put out. All for a joke as he wasn't the "real" grincher. He got banned from every single lobby 😂

[@Armillaria]

I think the night before Halloween I actually found a cryptid, it was a white cat with bulging eyes and a creepy smile. He was creeping up behind me and once I saw him I began messing with him. Then I wore his exact outfit and we even took a photo. We tried scaring others then put on our normal clothing and started fishing with others.

[@alger_real]

ive seen the void cat 2 times just, that they liked to draw themselves over other drawings and talk in local chat with a very deep voice. also having no name and instead of using the regular eyes they used the small dot eyes

[@smartyax11111]

At the beginning of webfishing there was a short ARG call voidcat which I was really into and loved. This was the first person I believe to do something like this and other black skins have tried to imitate but the true VOIDCAT arg was super interesting and had an amazing ending. And I hope others can make a good story around this game

[@ThatAnonymousBloke]

lmao I love how many videos there are on this. Ive been playing the game since release and due to a font glitch that made me have no name, I decided to go all black and give it the closest thing to herobrian eyes I could. Ive been seeing more and more people doing things like it, and I think its hilarious. though I dont stalk people its still funny how of put some people get by it.

[@GeeWillikers]

im literally liking and commenting all over this video right now dude

[@LucidMakesVideos]

holy shit no way

[@NeuNeur]

7:55 - This is done with a mod called BetterFirstPerson made by atolt.

[@OliAtypical]

My friend was visited by a void cat the other day while streaming and they informed my friend about the fact that anyone can join a lobby through public steam accounts, not just friends.

[@azi-keil9574]

That pure black cat literally is just my skin 💀 this is so uncanny

[@fenrirsrage4609]

Lobotimite will always be one of my favorite Webfishing community "cryptid"/in-joke.

[@Kamirose.]

I suppose I've done a "criptid" in webfishing, but not in a creepy way. I make myself entirely brown with no nose/mouth and sit on the docks. I perfectly blend in with the docks and I just find it amusing when someone said they just didn't notice me for a few minutes. I do still chat and stuff though.

[@VirtueYoutube]

your editing is really good homie damn

[@NXN1T]

I love how much players from tf2 moved in webfishing

[@MyNameIsArtin2]

thats Mumli, hes harmless and he will show u peace

[@randomuploaderguy]

I'm a cryptid too! Don't know if I show up but I can be found usually in the Hiijax "24/7 Canadian feeeesh server". I have an entirely empty name and no title. I fly around and build table bridges across the lake and generally goof around. I'm not malicious.

[@Bhunt9394]

Well shit. I thought about making a character that looked like a deer, sit in the middle of a demonic summoning circle, and waiting for someone to find find me. I just wanted to freak people out for fun.

[@jahalb]

babe wake up new webfishing lore just dropped

[@acegames7600]

i got the game today and someone kept on join me but i did not see it and it was the sam person join me

[@Ninja123546]

man i been rockin’ the void cat style for awhile now. now people gonna think im a creature

[@NEPHALEM4751]

Somebody loves metroid prime soundtrack and i cant not blame you its so damn good!!

[@UponFurtherReviewPodcast]

Woah it's me!

[@skyshunts]

This sounds like some creepypastas type shit

[@mokeyLIVE]

really engaging video! you had me wishing that there was cryptids!!

[@Chainsawjoe]

ah man i thought you where talking about how i would draw a pentagram and commune with dagon for better fishing

[@sentiss]

imagine having so much free time that you go around roleplaying as a "cryptid" 😭

[@Oretal]

This is a nice video! I was hoping to see the white cat with scary eyes you kept using in this video because I’ve ran into that user before. Went by a name similar to “webf1sher” and just followed my group around. I led them to the store void and we all hung out there for a while before they left. That was my first spooky user encounter and ever since then I’ve replicated their look when playing with friends.

[@ghoste3991]

Haven't watched this yet, I hope the shadow demon is mentioned

[@derpcade]

I became married to one of these mute cryptids after it serenaded me and I complimented it (I was given a wedding ring and wine)

[@abod_bios2]

Black cat spy fishing

[@Deadeye4644]

i was watching this video normally until i read the name "yo hold on i met this guy before" did you see a guy named jester by any chance? perhaps? i was dressed like one of the cryptids but wearing a suit and had the tired eyes

[@scuggs]

i think it's the allure of the supernatural mixed with kayfabe that makes cryptids so enticing. more people should do stuff similar to this, not just copy but be inspired to create something just as mysterious as this

[@emptycanoffanta]

awesome video! love the editing

[@LucidMakesVideos]

Thanks so much!!

[@stormoftara]

I've always wanted to be a cryptid!

[@AIOXYZ]

I gotta Exorcise that voidkitty this december, Hold my fishing rod.

[@SGAM2020]

I just like being hidden, I haven't loged on in a while

[@Sundance967]

I thought there were some that were intentionally coded into the game as secrets

[@V-uc6bz]

If only the game got updated weekly....

[@NatureNScenery]

this is 10/10, just great.

[@MoldyBreathMints]

The only problem is that if someone sees you in both forms, they may recognize your username. How would I make in invisible? (Without mods, of course)

[@Sunhalk]

Did not know you made YT videos! I remember your username, I've seen you in a few lobbies. Always a chill time.

[@mycop2323]

Personally I haven't been very interested in Webfishing so far, but this is pretty fascinating to me as it likely spawned from players who are similarly not interested in the typical gameplay/interactions and have thus taken to acting "incorrectly" to turn the game into something different, more interesting to them. This could potentially only be the start, as players may find more ways to play the game "incorrectly" and further shape Webfishing into something more diverse.

[@TheosTechTime]

Herobrine?

[@supersonic_kai_99]

lucid i just want to let you know i LOVE your videos. dont stop doing what your doing. its so good. i will definitely be watching all your upcoming videos (especially on webfishing :P lol).

Yessir i like this

[@WoodTrose]

I didn't even know voidcat was a thing, i just recently made my guy a midnight black kitty with the inverted eyes. Im pretty friendly and chatty in game though, so i don't think anyone thought much of it. still, now i feel guilty in case i made anyone worry for a moment 😭
