I know someone who almost ran over a jackelope while riding their bike...I didn't believe him but years later looked them up online, and found out they are rabbits that grow horn-like antlers due to suffering papilloma virus.

Puckwudgies and fairies are so nostalgic for me as a kid my nature camp I went to had this old hollow tree by the creek was there home. We would leave little trinkets behind like acorns, seeds, little stones, one time a pineapple, and other stuff. One of my favorite batch of criptid/myth cause they gave so many fond memories of going in the woods to find them
