During the mid 1960s the residents of Point Pleasant, West Virginia were haunted by an unsettling apparition that has gone on to become one of the most popular creatures in modern folklore. A black headless humanoid with giant wings and glowing eyes chased multiple distressed members of the public. Lazily dubbed Mothman by some newspaper writer of the time despite bearing no resemblance to the insect, the name endured. The enigmatic beast disappeared after a tragic, fatal bridge collapse. Was the creature a herald of disaster? A harbinger of doom? Or just some sort of misidentified bird?
Mothman stands 3.5” (90mm) tall with a 4” (95mm) wingspan.
Chupacabra, the Goat Sucker is one of the better known Cryptids with many thousands of sightings across Mexico and Puerto Rico. This vampiric beast is either an emaciated canine or humanoid reptilian. But sporting fangs, spines and an aggressive attitude, they are not something you want to run into whether you are a goat or not..
