being half native, i am beyond tired of this reoccurring theme. for all of you cryptid fans, the wendigo, thunderbirds, skinwalkers, etc. are NOT cryptids. they are a part of indigenous culture and are spirits/entities, and not anything like mothman. they are religious and cultural folklore, despite the fact that cryptozoologists try to classify them as cryptids. 

also, do not associate any non-indigenous oc’s with ANY spirits from native culture and folklore, as it is very insensitive (i.e. kylo ren wendigo, named “rendigo”) to the culture and considered white-washing. our culture, practices, and religion has already been stretched far and thin over the years. be respectful please.

Hey guys, I know you aren’t used to seeing posts like this from us, but just a reminder to be respectful about what gets called a cryptid! We don’t accept any submissions with skinwalkers, wendigos, or thunderbirds. If anyone sees any cryptids on this page that make them uncomfortable or that they feel are appropriating any particular cultural folklore for a joke, let me know and I will delete the post and make sure that I correct the issue going forward. Thanks!!
