Arizona’s Mogollon Rim is a place of rugged beauty—towering cliffs, dense forests, and endless trails for those brave enough to explore them. But among the pines, something else may be lurking.

For over a century, whispers of a towering, hair-covered beast have echoed through the canyons. Some call it a myth, others claim to have seen it with their own eyes. But one thing’s for sure: the Mogollon Monster isn’t a story that fades quietly into the trees.

In the icy depths of the Arctic waters, where the sea blurs into the endless night sky, legends speak of a creature as mystical as the aurora borealis itself.

Among the Inuit, it was whispered that a ghostly beast roamed these frigid seas, its long, spiraled horn cutting through the cold mist. This "unicorn of the sea" was steeped in mystery and awe, its horn believed to possess magical powers capable of countering poison and curing melancholy.

Let’s tread the frozen waters of the great white north in search of the most mystical of beasts idolized by fantasy lovers the world over.

I’m Cody, and Cryptids Across the Atlas is taking a pit stop to learn about animals that used to be cryptids.
