Cryptids


 * See also: Category:Cryptids

Cryptids are strange creatures, usually coming from folklore, legends and rumors, that in most cases haven't been proven to actually exist. A few creatures that were considered cryptids before being proven to exist are still often considered cryptids as they're not well known, such as the Giant Squid and Sasquatch.

Abominable Snowpuffle


The Abominable Snowpuffle legend started when Senseis on Club Penguin would tell their students about things that lived in the mountains, including a huge white puffle that could easily bite trees in half and lived in relatively harsh conditions in the mountains of Club Penguin. The legends have persisted to modern day, brought back to popularity in 2008 with the return of Sensei and Card-Jitsu, and it is said that abominable snowpuffles are bigger than polar bears, and can eat entire O-Berry bushes in one bite. Legends also often use Abominable Snowpuffles and Yetis, another cryptid, interchangeably.

Since then, reports of huge, white puffles have increased, and some have even reported them near the Town. Gary was sure the first accounts were just Herbert and Klutzy, but newer reports are unconfirmed. Moschomicrotherium bigicus has been suggested as a scientific name for the creature.

Puffle Creatures
Many puffle creatures are rumored to exist, including Bird Puffles, Skunk Puffles which are said to burp a lot, Yeti Puffles, Octopus Puffles that leave ink clouds, and Cow Puffles that have something to do with Alien Puffles. Most puffle creature species confirmed to exist are also largely considered cryptids since they're not well known.

Rare Puffles
Many rare puffle species are largely unknown by the public, with sightings largely believed to be fake. Even puffles proven to exist are considered cryptids by most until their existence is indisputable. Good examples of this include the legendary Rainbow and Gold Puffles; even though they were proven to exist in 2013 many creatures still don't believe they're real.

Gnome
Gnomes are incredibly mischievous creatures, not to be confused with the average inanimate lawn gnome. All gnomes are apparently male, have white beards, wear conical hats, and are about six inches in height. They get a kick out of irritating people as much as possible through various methods, such as rearranging objects, knocking on doors and running away, unscrewing light bulbs just enough so they stop working, swapping labels, eating food but leaving the packaging behind, taking things when the owner turns their back and putting it in a completely different spot, and countless other irritations.

Frequently, a few "gnome scouts" will arrive in an area, signaling an infestation which will last for several weeks before the gnomes get bored and leave. These gnome scouts often pose as regular lawn gnomes, but move to different locations when no one is watching. Because of this, gnome scouts always stay out of areas with security cameras, as they cannot get to those locations at all since the cameras are watching.
