There's supposed to be a version of the Loch Ness Monster in Lake Pepin, between Minnesota and Wisconsin.

10. No the Jackabasselope That is the result of Mating between

8. Potus Dotard doesn't count as a cryptid.

Cryptids by definition are creatures that are rumored but never seen. Potus Dotard is seen entirely too often. I wish he was just a rumor.

14. The Lake Worth Monster is actually a Fort Worth legend

Not a coastal one.

A local playwright and producer/director of highly original theater has a whole series of plays known as the "Lake Worth Cycle" He grew up on Lake Worth and created a fictional family loosely based on his own relatives. The plays are really neat and quite fun. Of course the Lake Worth Monster is included, though never actually seen. Its name is Molemo.

He writes, directs and presents his own plays, we go to see them at the Hip Pocket Theater, which is a masterpiece of making do with whatcha got. Very offbeat and unique.
