There are many different types of Cryptids and monsters, including gorgon's, vampires, wendigos, and shifters. Humans are seen as "less than" the cryptids and monsters and often socially and economically lower because they aren't as strong as the cryptids. Here are the four main cryptid types:

Dragon hybrids: -have large wings and can normally fly. -Can breathe fire. -Don't often get along with other dragons they aren't related to or in a relationship with. -super strength -advances durability -Mostly fireproof -Have a strong, obsessive need to have a hoard. The hoard can be anything, people they care about, property, animals, or an object. Ex: a ten year old dragon hybrids hoard is his pokemon card collection. A 67 year old's dragon hoard is her pet cats. Dragon hybrids are always trying to grow their hoard.

Wraiths: -Extremely rare -not naturally born, can only be made when a human goes through an extremely traumatic and hate, rage, and panic inducing near death experience. -Humans can be any age when they become wraiths. -Can become immaterial and phase through objects. -can manipulate shadows. -Cannot use abilities for more than a few hours at a time, as it poisons the user. -enhanced senses, strength, and durability. -Smoke tendrils appear around a wraiths body when they use their abilities or are angry.

Werewolves: -enhanced smell, sight, and hearing. -very strong. -pointed ears and wolf tails in base form -during a full moon they transform into a wolf the size of a car. In this wolf from, they don't retain all their memories but have a strong sense of who they like and don't like. -very powerful in wolf form. -in wolf form, they act like a dog. -in wolf form, the often try to play fight with the people they care about. -can shift into wolf form if emotional or excited up to three days before the full moon. -Turn back into base form once dawn happens on the day after the full moon. -can be made by a human being bit and the wound going untreated.

Harpy -can fly -large, soft feathers. -Feathers on arms can he hardened and used as projectiles. -enhanced ability to see long distances -Large wings on their back -Pointed ears -Claws on hands -large wings on their back with hollow bones, fragile but strong enough to easily lift them off the ground -grooming behavior, like to have someone they trust/love prune their feathers for them.

Wendigo: -can detect anything with blood in it within 1km away. -extreme strength, enhanced speed, and smell. -typically unable to feel any kind of pain other than psychological, emotional, or from hunger. -can either be born a Wendigo if they had two wendigo parents, or can be made one by starving to death with no attempts at aide. Because of this, during wartime all human POW's will always be kept well fed to prevent Wendigos from being made. -can regenerate limbs if lost cleanly. -almost always feels a hunger fort meat. Almost constantly crave some kind of flesh, human, cryptid, or otherwise. -has two forms, their human form and monster form. In monster form, they take the humanoid shape of an 8-10 foot tall creature, with horns, elongated limbs, claws, and visible veins on their body. In this monster form they are little more than a mindless, hungry rampager. Used sparingly, since in order to calm them down it takes a large amount of tranquilizers and manpower. Human form looks like a regular human, save for seeming very thin no matter how much they eat.
