The biological equivalent of UFO sightings, cryptids are legendary beings and mythical creatures which are rumored to exist in Real Life, in isolation or in hiding, yet remain unrecognized by mainstream science due to the absence of physical evidence that could verify their existence. Some may be relict survivors of species believed to be extinct, or known organisms displaced into inappropriate habitats; others are unlike any known species, with characteristics that border upon the supernatural. Folk legends tied to specific cultural traditions (Algonquian wendigos, Navajo skinwalkers, Japanese youkai, Irish aes sÃdhe, etc.) aren't usually considered cryptids, nor are other overtly supernatural entities like ghosts. Aliens usually aren't either, unless they've been on Earth long enough to "go native" and be sighted in the wilderness. Those cryptids that haven't received heavy media attention, so cannot be classified under the sub-tropes listed below, may have works of fiction in which they're featured listed here on this page. Works that feature a wide variety of cryptid types, or follow cryptozoologists' attempts to investigate them, also fall under this trope. Series that only have a Cryptid Episode usually leave their existence open to question, whereas cryptid-themed works generally do reveal their creatures to the audience (if not the characters), sooner or later. Sub-Trope of All Theories Are True. Compare Our Monsters Are Weird, which is for creatures that are too bizarre for even cryptozoology (the study of cryptids) to claim they're for real. Also see Fearsome Critters of American Folklore. |

While Prehistoric Park Reimagined primarily focuses upon the rescue of prehistoric animals (plus other extinct creatures) already known to science, the story's not afraid to take detours down somewhat more fantasy based paths every now and then via the featuring of several speculative animals. And as it so happens, some of the speculative creatures featured are implied to be the in-universe basis for several modern day cryptids and other mythical creatures, with examples so far including tribes of vicious ape-like hominids that bring to mind various ape-like hominid cryptids like Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti, a giant speculative Eocene choristodere species implied to serve as an at least partial basis to legends of dragons (if not also sea serpents, plus potentially responsible for sightings of Nessie), and a Pleistocene Australian aquatic marsupial species that very explicitly gets labeled as a bunyip. | |

Harry Potter: Many cryptids in the series are acknowledged to be magical creatures, including the Yeti (a troll-like monster) and Nessie (a shapeshifting kelpie disguising itself as a sea serpent). Funnily enough, the wizarding universe has its own cryptids, such as the Nargles and the Crumple-Horned Snorkacks, in which nobody believes except for Luna Lovegood. | |

Detentionaire features a creature known as the Tatzelwurm (sometimes spelled "Tazelwurm" or "Tazelworm"), based on the cryptid of the same name. They come in a variety of colours, with the red one being the rarest, one of which, nicknamed Taz, wears a sweater and is A. Nigma High's official school mascot. In one episode, Lee jokingly refers to it as "the Loch Ness Monster's first cousin". | |

King Kong is the story of a group of filmmakers in search of the eponymous creature based on rumours, so Kong himself could be considered a cryptid in-universe. It's worth noting that King Kong itself was inspired by the discovery of a cryptid-turned-real — the Komodo dragon. | |

The Secret Saturdays: The whole premise of the show finding and dealing with cryptids. Creator Jay Stephens deliberately refused to use any of the more commonly-known creatures in the show, with the more popular cryptids only ever referenced as being past encounters at best. The only exception to this rule is the Yeti, which is the true identity of series villain V. V. Argost. | |

Dog-Breath and Birdbrain has the in-universe urban legend of the Girl in the White Mask, portrayed similarly to the real life Fresco Nightcrawlers or Virginia TV Head. Security footage passed around at the time showed a mysterious humanoid figure vandalizing and stealing in the area, remarkable for her inhuman white face and red eyes. Lent credence by the government showing up in town shortly after, it quickly became a local cryptid the residents were all too happy to celebrate with costumes and graffiti depicting her. Naturally, the cryptid is real, as the protagonist finds out. | |

One sourcebook, Mystery Monsters Revisited, is dedicated to discussing eight such species — bunyips, chupacabras, death worms, mokele-mbembes, mothmen, the Sandpoint Devil, sasquatches, sea serpents, water orms and yetis — and goes into some detail about their habits, possible origins, and ability to remain elusive and mysterious even in a world of dragons, wizards and gods. | |

Dungeons & Dragons has an in-universe example in the form of the "forgotten" chromatic dragon family. Everyone knows about the five main breeds of evil dragons: the white, black, green, blue and red dragons, creations of the five-headed dragon goddess Tiamat. But some scholars and witnesses claim that there are three more color-based dragon breeds, the yellow/salt, orange/sodium, and purple/energy dragons. They're thought to be related to the "main" chromatic dragons through color theory (purple dragons, for example, are conjectured to be a True-Breeding Hybrid resulting from red and blue dragons interbreeding), or are perhaps the creations of a rival dragon deity whom Tiamat subsequently killed. While most scholars scoff at such talk and dismiss any sightings of these creatures as a witness misidentifying an established dragon while under the influence of its frightful presence, fringe theorists are known to fund expeditions into the wilderness in hopes that an adventuring party can bring back conclusive evidence of such cryptozoological dragons. As such, the "forgotten" dragons' stat blocks in Dragon come with the disclaimer "If these wyrms do indeed exist, this is the best estimate of their true capabilities." | |

The MonsterVerse predominantly centres around the secret international cryptozoological organization Monarch, whose task is to keep up the Masquerade against cryptid organisms (up until 2014, when it became The Unmasqued World). In this universe however, cryptids are Kaiju such as King Kong and Godzilla. A few Freeze Frame Bonuses in Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) show the names of some kaiju we never see in person, which include Bunyip and Mokele-Mbembe, and the novelization links Behemoth to the South American cryptid Mapinguary. | |

Tensou Sentai Goseiger's second villain faction, the Yuumajuu (Spectral Demon Beasts), are all based on various cryptids, combined with terrestrial invertebrates for a good measure. Its leaders are a globster/earthworm, a Sasquatch/tarantula, and a Chupacabra/house centipede. Additionally, "Yuumajuu" is a play on "UMA" (Unidentified Mystery Animal), another word for "cryptid". | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! has the Danger! archetype, which is made of several cryptids that share the effect where the player reveals them, then the opponent chooses a random card for the player to discard. If the discarded card was not a copy of the revealed monster, then the player gets to special summon it and draw a card. All the monsters in the archetype also have effects that trigger upon being discarded. | |

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater: The members of Mission Control are all really into "UMAs" (Unidentified Mysterious Animals, the Japanese term for "cryptid", which is therefore apparently the normal term in English in the Metal Gear universe as well) and frequently talk about them to Snake. There is also a Tsuchinoko in the game which you can capture (or eat), and bringing it back alive unlocks the Infinity Face Paint on a New Game Plus. Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker also has a cryptid Otaku used to justify the Crossover with Monster Hunter. | |

Shadowrun: The Awakening brought many cryptids out of the closet. Some are paranormal animals developed from normal ones (e.g. mermaids as Awakened seals), while others as previously shy beings that didn't feel the need to hide any longer (sasquatches). | |

Engaged to the Unidentified has cryptids as part of its main cast (Hakuya, Mashiro, their mother Shirayuki and a few more), though while they are called many names, including "demons", "Youkai" and the like, they look and mostly behave like ordinary humans. Mashiro is also a fan of cryptids and collects figurines; one of the show's Running Gags is that she somehow always ends up with lots of Nessies, but not much else. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: A number of cryptids and similar beings have appeared over the show's run: Pinkie encounters a quadrupedal yeti while traveling to Yakyakistan in "Party Pooped", while a tri-horned bunyip appears in "P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View)". The Great Sprout in "Going to Seed" plays the role of an in-universe cryptid, ticking off most of the category's boxes — mysterious nature, highly elusive and difficult to catch or observe, ambiguously real and prone to causing divisive opinions regarding whether it actually exists or not. The IDW comics feature several other such beasts, including a highly feline Chupacabra and a humanoid squash monster referred to as a "sass squash". |

Cryptids make up a large part of the Dark•Matter (1999) setting, and several have their origin with the alien races that populate the settings. |

Taking a sample of a seaman's eggs back to France with him, he started conducting research on the creature's evolution; the player is tasked with following his work in the present day, raising a seaman through all of its evolutionary stages. | |

Demon: The Descent uses cryptid as a catch-all term for animals exposed to the energies of the God-Machine, used as agents by both the angels of the God-Machine and the demons that rebel against it. Example cryptids include mothmen (who are harmless squirrel eaters who cannot predict disasters) and Reptoids (who are shy, timid creatures who cannot shapeshift and have no plans for world domination). | |

One episode of Drop the Dead Donkey saw Damien going down to Cornwall in order to try and fake a sighting of the Beast of Bodmin Moor. Truth in Television, as a number of big cat sightings in Britain at the time were exaggerated (and in some cases quite possibly faked) by the media (see "Real Life" below for more details). | |
