Cryptid

Cryptid is the unofficial catch-all term referring to any creature of supernatural origin. A species or creature is labeled as cryptid if there exists little to no evidence to prove their existence, often being dubbed as myths or legends instead. There are many cryptid species that roam the Earth, mostly shielded from the human eye, though there are a handful of humans who are aware of their existence, and some even take up the occupation of a cryptobiologist in order to study and document different cryptid species.

Lycanthropes are the most prominent cryptid in the story of Red Star, but thanks to the diligent documentations of seasoned cryptobiologist Rosa Camacho, knowledge of many other cryptid species is made known.

Most cryptids consist of creatures found in urban folklore, such as vampires, the Sasquatch, chupacabra, etc.
