The following is a guide to the paranormal and crypto zoology. I will try to update, correct and add source information (I apologize for the lack of sources, I wrote a lot of this when I was younger and a lot of it long after seeing or reading source, if you know where information came from please inform me. I desire to give due credit. Much of this is common information, but I know that not all of it is and should like to have those sources.)
Key:
* Commonly believed phenomenon or creature in certain regions
** Commonly believed phenomenon or creature
*** Proven phenomenon or creature
Merpeople
Merpeople are any variety of being who are more or less half human and half fish. They live in the water but have the ability to come above the surface for a short time. Some can even become full fish or full human for a time. Most have fish (or shark) fins or eel tails, but some merely have flippered legs. (See ATLANTIS, ATLANTIANS)
***Monsters
Monsters are any creature sufficiently large, ugly, mean, or horrible enough as to give you cause to call it such. It’s only a monster once you believe it is.
Also, this is technical term for a mutation of embryos or young plants and animals.
Mystical (or Magical) Cats
Mystical cats are medium sized cats who posses great wisdom and often magic. Their magic may include the ability to change shape or form, teleport, or grant others magical abilities. Unlike conventional cat they come in a rainbow of colors, with different lengths and patterns of fur. They are mainly found in woods and mountainous areas. Some may wear clothing.
