#LibraryCryptid
The aqueous mouse is one of the more prosaic cryptids, rarely getting a mention alongside more famous mothmen and bigfeet.

It’s a mouse that lives underwater. … That’s pretty much it.

@mc.frontalot.com’s “Scare Goat” name-dropped this one and I had to draw it.

Oops! Didn’t get a chance to post yesterday’s #librarycryptid #librarydoodle

Meet the Kasaobake! It’s a Japanese spirit of a haunted umbrella (that’s eager to get home to read its book.)

Today’s #LibraryCryptid goes out to all the caretakers and educators. This little mushroom guy is trying their best to read with little ones popping up everywhere.

Of the many conspiracy theories surrounding Mt Shasta, one of the weirder ones is that of a race of mushroom men there

Even forest trolls enjoy a good book.

Can you tell that Brian Froud and Tony DiTerlizzi were formative artists for me?

Today’s #LibraryCryptid is a mandrake. This one is based loosely on a fiddlehead fern.

Fabled as hosting a number of miraculous properties, the mandrake was notoriously difficult to harvest. Upon removal from the ground, they would unleash a killing scream.
