Dobhar Chu by Ghirin
By Guest
The Dobhar-chu, also known as the Water Dog, is a creature reputed to live in the lakes of Ireland. A similar creature known as the Master Otter also dwells in Scottish lakes.
Dobhar-chu hunt humans and livestock and are thus very dangerous. One of the best accounts of the Dobhar-chu comes from the region around Glencade Lake. A woman went down to the lake where she was attacked and killed by a Dobhar-chu. Her husband killed the Dobhar-chu but was chased by another, which he also killed.

Midnight Unicorn by Jordan
By Guest
Midnight Unicorns are stunningly black and beautiful creatures living in mountainous regions of Eurasia. Idea by Genki.
The Midnight Unicorn is so-named due to the coloring of the male. Black as the darkest, moonless night, the stallion is stunningly beautiful to behold. Smoky in color, the mare is beautiful in her own right, exuding the elegance known to the species. Found primarily in the highlands, these creatures easily traverse mountainous regions. These amazing creatures have been known to appear to lost climbers in the various mountain ranges of Eurasia, having been reported from the Alps to the Himalayas. When the tales are later shared, the sightings are written off as illusions plaguing weary and worried souls.

Padfoot is a monster found in Yorkshire, England that inhabits the moors around Leeds. It is variously described as a shaggy sheep, white dog, or large black donkey with large glaring eyes. It makes its presence known by the soft, eerie padding behind its victim. The padding sound may be accompanied by roaring or the sound of chains.

Nihon Unicorn by Jordan
By Guest
The Nihon Unicorn, which literally translates to "Japanese Unicorn", is found primarily in the woodland hills of Honshu, Japan. When first discovered, they were thought to be mystical, otherworldly beings that would bring fortune on those that managed to view them. They are still sought out by those that revere them, hence they have become very comfortable with the presence of man. This fact, along with their inherent beauty has made them them a highly-prized animal to have in zoos worldwide. Idea by Genki.

Marvin Martian by Genkicoll
By Guest
Description : Here is the much talked about surprise for pukkie. There are 9 sound files included, though you have to be patient to hear them all
Marvin hails from the planet Mars, but is often found elsewhere. He is often accompanied by his dog "K-9," and sometimes by other creatures.
Marvin wears a Roman soldier's uniform (a reference to Mars being the Roman god of war) with old-fashioned basketball shoes. His head is a black sphere with only eyes for features. The crest of his helmet appears, with the "push broom" like upper section, to resemble an ancient Greek Hoplite's helmet.
On numerous occasions, Marvin has tried to destroy the Earth, as it obstructs his view of Venus, with his Illudium Pu-36 Explosive Space Modulator.
Marvin will like anything in his exhibit, with one exception: He does not like the cold!

Fouke Monster by Moondawg
By Guest
The Fouke Monster is a legendary cryptid reported near the town of Fouke in Miller County, Arkansas during the early 1970s, where it was accused of attacking a local family.
Initial sightings of the creature were concentrated in the Jonesville/Boggy Creek area, where it was blamed for the death of local livestock. Later, sightings were made several hundred miles to the north and the east of Fouke.
The creature was named by journalist Jim Powell, who reported on it for the Texarkana Gazette and the Texarkana Daily News.
The Fouke Monster was also covered by the state desk headed by Norman L. Richardson of the Shreveport Times. It has been the subject of several films and a number of books.
Various reports of the creature made between 1971 and 1974 described the creature as being a large hominid-like creature covered in long dark hair, which was estimated to be about 7 feet (2.1 m) tall with a weight of 250-300 pounds. Witnesses said that its chest was about 3 feet (0.91 m) wide. Later reports, published during the early 1980s, claimed that it was far larger, with one report describing it as 10 feet (3.0 m) tall, with an estimated weight of 800 pounds.
Some accounts describe the Fouke Monster as running in a 'hunched/slouched' posture and swinging its arms in a similar fashion to a monkey. Reports also describe it as having a terrible odor and as having bright red eyes, about the size of silver dollars.
A variety of tracks and claw marks have been discovered which are claimed to belong to the creature. One set of foot prints reportedly measured 17 inches (430 mm) in length and 7 inches (180 mm) wide, another appeared to show that the creature only had three toes.
The Legend of Boggy Creek
The Legend of Boggy Creek is a 1972 documentary-style film dealing with an alleged creature known as the "Fouke Monster", a Bigfoot-like being seen in and around Fouke, Arkansas since the 1940s. The film mixes interviews with local residents who claim to have had encountered the creature with dramatic/fictitious reenactments of said encounters. Charles B. Pierce, an ad salesman from Texarkana on the Arkansas/Texas border, borrowed $160,000 from a local trucking company, used an old movie camera, and hired locals, mainly high school and college students, to make the 87 minute long film in 1972. It generated $20 million in revenue, and is now on DVD.
The film sets out to question the existence of the Fouke Monster, a creature that is reportedly seen mainly by hunters and ranchers. It is over 8 feet tall with a slender build and long legs and arms. It is completely covered in hair and has three toes on its feet, as indicated by tracks seen in a creek bank.
Several locals from the small town of Fouke, Arkansas recall their stories, often appearing as themselves. In one scene, a police officer states that it crossed a road in front of him at 30-35 mph, in another, the creature attacks some people in a house; they fire on it, but it sends one of them to the hospital. In another scene, hunters attempt to chase the creature with dogs, but the dogs refuse to go after it. In other scenes, the narrator states that people have shot at it, incl. that a juvenile had shot at it. They claimed that the creature has killed 500lb-600lb hogs, deer, other animals and had eaten them. In a close up scene, a kitten is shown as being killed by the monster. In the end, the creature escapes all attempts to hunt it, and locals debate over whether it is dead, or still out there.

Sea Breeze Unicorn by Jordan
By Guest
The Sea Breeze Unicorn is a shy, but friendly animal that lives in coastal, wooded areas. Legend says that these unicorns were once sea-bound creatures, whose light footsteps allowed them to run across the water. Sailors in the North Atlantic would claim to have seen herds of hundreds of them running across the sea and called them the "steeds of Poseidon". (He was the god of horses too!) But more recently, these peaceful creatures were driven from the ocean by the deadly Kraken. Although they have adapted to life on land, they still love the ocean and prefer to remain close to it.
Idea by Genki.

Black Dog by Ghirin
By Guest
Black Dogs are found in the folklore of both England and Scotland. These creature are usually described as the size of calves with shaggy black hair and glowing red eyes. Black Dogs are often encountered in places of transition in human lives such and bridges and crossroads. Some Black Dogs are said to guard ancient treasures or sacred places from trespassers.
The exact nature of Black Dogs varies from place to place. If left alone, many Black Dogs are benign; howeever, if a person attempts to strike out or otherwise engage such a dog, that person will be savagely attacked and maybe even killed. In some places, merely seeing a Black Dog is a portent of death while in other places Black Dogs are said to lead lost travelers to safety.

Bull of Bagbury by Ghirin
By Guest
Many generations ago in Shropshire England, an evil squire was transformed into a large bull upon his death. The bull haunted the lanes of the area and caused much destruction with its loud roar.
The local people enlisted the help of the local parson to control the ghost bull. Reciting prayers and reading aloud from the Bible, the parson caused the bull to shrink in size until it could be confined to a box. The box was then buried under the doorstep of St. Etheldreda's Church to confine the ghost creature.

Please enjoy this download, as I enjoyed creating it for you
“I made them hard to breed on purpose, for a challenge. I did this by setting the reproduction chance to low, the frequency to extremely low, the happiness threshold to high, and the baby-adult time to very long. They will still breed after all this, it's just not the easiest thing is all. But that's the way I wanted it”
