Said to reside in Normandy, particularly the commune of Bayeux, is the legend of the Rongeur d’Os. This large black dog’s name can be translated to “Bone Gnawer” or “Gnawer of Bones”. The Rongeur d’Os is said to drag a long chain behind it and always have a bone in its mouth. Like many black dog legends, the Rongeur d’Os is said to be an omen of death and strikes fear into travelers that it comes across.
I…I just wanted to draw some mothmen ahahha. That bottom picture is just a practice of doing something out of my comfort zone (what if mothmen were tiny and huddled together on trees to protect against the cold like daddy long legs did though.)

A much overlooked cryptid, rods are believed to be extradimensional creatures. Some believe these undulating, serpent-like creatures move at a rate that is faster than the “framerate” of the human eye, but are sometimes captured on film. Rods have been known to measure from just a few centimetres, to over a mile in length. The largest of rods are believed to be connected to UFOs and alien life.
Rods are widely discredited as being regular flying insects that appear strange on-camera due to motionblur. However, some sightings are not so easily explained.

The Irving family posed many questions to Gef the Talking Mongoose to try and get his answers. Once, among all their questions, the Irvings asked Gef if he knew what death was. To which, his voice replied simply, “Yes, a changeover.”
Beebe’s Manta Ray was first reported by William Beebe nearby the Galapagos Islands on April 27th, 1923. He described the manta as having a 10 foot wingspan. Its back is a dark brown with distinctive white bands that go halfway down its back to either side of its head. The very tips of the wings are also white in color. The manta supposedly collided with Beebe’s vessel briefly before quickly retreating from it.
This is the most famous photo of Champ, the Lake Champlain monster. It was taken in 1977 by Sandra Mansi who was out with her family on the lake. As her sons waded in the water and she and her fiancé looked after them, Sandra noticed what she thought was a school of fish about 150 yards from the shore. After a little bit “the head and neck broke the surface of the water” and when her fiancé quickly ushered her sons out of the water, she snapped the photo with her camera. Sandra estimates the creature surfaced for four to seven minutes as they watched it. The original photo has been looked at by several experts and they can find no evidence of tampering with the photo to fake it. As of now, this is the most solid evidence of a monster in Lake Champlain.
