No 10: The Mothman.

Many eyewitness accounts describe the Mothman as having the body, arms, and legs of a man but with the fur, wings, and head of a moth. With glowing red eyes. There is another version of this cryptid known as the Owlman.

They are abnormally large dogs with jet black fur, glowing red eyes, and smoke coming out of either the nostrils or the mouth. They are known to chase after sinners and bad people in order to drag them into hell. But if you are not a bad person and just so happen to come across one, you will suffer from bad luck and misfortune.
No 8: Skin-walkers.
These cryptids are from Native American folklore and legends. They are normal people who when wearing the skin of an animal (a jackal in most cases) and chant a spell, will change mentally and sometimes physically into the animal (not to be confused with werewolves). There have been a number of sightings of Skin-walkers from early colonial times to today. From encountered a abnormally shaped wolf with bear like features to seeing a deer walking around on its back legs as if it was human. Skin-walkers can also mimic voices of people. They use this to lure their victims to their deaths.
No 7: The Goatman.
This one from the U.S.A is about a human/goat hybrid. He used to be either a scientist that was experimenting on himself or a murderer who had a curse put on him. But whatever version you heard, the Goatman is something you should never encounter. He is also known to carry an axe and (like Skin-walkers) can mimic other peoples voices.
No 6: Sewer pigs.
Before the urban legend of alligators living in the sewers came along. Pigs and wild boars were the original animals that were thought to live in the sewers.

No 3: Mokele Mbembe.

Natives talk about a creature that resembles a Brontosaurus or a similar long necked dinosaur that swims in the river and would often attack anything that crosses it's path. Although they might have mistaken an elephant swimming for the creature (as elephants hold their trunks above the water as they swim).
No 2: The Kraken.
This legendry sea monster is a gigantic octopus that can pull ships under the water with his giant tentacles. It mainly swims in the North Atlantic oceans and the Nordic seas. This legends is possibly based around the colossal squid.
