Biologist Roy Mackal once came up with an interesting theory about the possible survival of the dodo. Mauritius, where it once called home, has a handful of small surrounding islands. He believed the dodo could live there, though actual post-extinction sightings happened on the mainland

In China and Chile there are scarily similar reports of a cryptid that preys on people. They are massive creatures that ambush people and drink their their blood. There have been sightings of them for centuries, but is there any truth to these reports?

A weirdly common re-occurring cryptid story is divers coming face to face with giant animals in lakes and then refusing to ever return or publicly talk about it

I know of a handful of these stories but they're all pretty similar, can anyone recall anymore?

  1. Divers in Vermont's Lake Willoughby allegedly came across "giant man eating eels" then were too scared to talk about it
  2. Scott Mardis talked about divers seeing giant eels in his podcast episode about giant eels
  3. In Argentina divers searching for a bus that ran off the road apparently ran into giant freshwater stingrays (el cuero)

Pings should say if an item is on or off.

Tried to communicate with a Chinese Wraith King player to tell him radiance was off and I didn't get through as he didn't understand English. Making pings let a player know if the item is on or off in their language would be very helpful

We talk a lot about the father of cryptozoology, but I'd like to shoutout the mother of cryptozoology too. Monique Watteau was married to Bernard Heuvelmans and, despite their divorce, she collaborated with him and drew a lot of fantastic artwork of cryptids for him
