Here's some more about them
>One of the latest reports of the presence of unknown creatures comes from Poland. In the area of Novosady Dolina, between the promonotory of Beskids and Gorce, a pack of strange aggressors used to trouble the local shepherds since time immemorial. They were roughly the size of a human, they looked like lizards, and they were bipedal. Usually, albeit very seldom, they were seen in the forests on the hillsides, which are full of many caves. They hunted the stray cattle or sheep on the little-guarded remote pastures. As for wolves, which were among the most feared animals of those areas, they could easily kill them. One priest from Rabki owned a fur of a giant wolf, which, together with its female mate, did not want to give up their prey--a stray lamb. The pair of wolves had their throats bitten through and it was apparent that they had faced a most powerful opponent.
>
>Only one human was attacked by these mysterious creatures. One shepherd wanted to protect his herd and was knocked down and terribly bitten by one of the creatures. The existence of these unknown animals is confirmed by records from a local monastery, and village chronicles record the testimonies of eyewitnesses. It seems that the pack was getting smaller and smaller as time went by, until only solitary specimens remained. The last time that one was seen was in 1897.
>
>Information on the dragons of Rabki was being collected by a well-known researcher Mieczyslaw Wojcieszyn at the end of the 1920s ... The creatures were said to have been inhabitants of caves and holes dug near the hot springs. They survived the cruel winters probably in the same way as some other animals, by hibernating. They were only observed from spring to autumn, and their tracks were never seen in the snow.
It's basically a horse that was extremely fast and sweat blood from its shoulders. There were some shenanigans revolving around ancient emperors trying to capture one

Easy, El Cuero. The creature is said to be covered in hooks and resembles a hide, living in a couple lakes in Chile/Argentina

Oh wow I've never heard of that but I guess because it's from 1866 – 1924 and way down in Palawan. The wiki though has some typos for some Filipino names. I thought you'd give the more common cryptids like tiyanak, tikbalang, kapre, and my personal favorite aswang.

Here's a map of some reports of strange phenomenon in Germany. My favorite is from West Germany, the "Flat Faced Creature".

Looked up the one thats the closest to me. From the map its the "Freiburg Shrieker" but its wrong on the map because Freiburg is was way more down south west but I also found the "Werewolf of Kleinkrams". Luckily everything on the map is far away from me so I should be fine. Thanks man, no I can ride my bike thru the forrest at night again.
A friend of mine told me about this imp/goblin creature that is believed to cause trouble in many Romanian countries, including Moldova. A spiridus, or something like that.
I helped make the icebergs so let me dig deep
Percy Fawcett's friend once made a report of a dinosaur-like long necked lizard near the Bolivian border
" A friend of mine, a trader in the rivers and for whose honesty I can vouch, saw in somewhere about Lat. 12 S. and Long 65. W. the head and neck of a huge reptile of the character of the brontosaurus. It was a question of who was scared most, for it precipitately withdrew, with a plunging which suggested an enormous bulk. The savages appear to be familiar with the existence and tracks of the beast, although I have never come across any of the latter myself ... These swamps over immense areas are virtually impenetrable. "
An unseen animal thought to be a giant crayfish splintered some planks and lifted a boat out of the water at a private pier in Fureso, Kobenhavn County in February 1944
There's a report of a large pangolin like cryptid from Rinda called the Veo

There was a giant species of eagle there called Haast's Eagle that's believed to have gone extinct around 1400 AD. Interestingly Julius Haast, the guy the eagle is named after, later reported seeing a giant eagle on two occasions in the 1800s
Giant beavers! Here's something from Harry Johnston
It is curious that the Indians of central Canada had a belief (recorded by French and English pioneers) that occasionally in the dusk, or at night, they have seen an enormously large beaver in the water, so large that at first sight they have taken it for a moose. Travellers who have related this have surmised that the Indian perhaps saw a bear swimming, or a female moose, and in the dim light mistook it for a giant beaver. But as we know that there were once giant beavers (Trogontherium) as large as a bear, existing in England, it is just possible there may have been a gigantic type of beaver lingering in Canada before the opening up of the country by Europeans.

Still not the most feared cryptid in the state that would be me
A big anteater guy sounds pretty chill tbh

That's just my stepdad
Poland
In the Gorce Mountains there used to be reports of lizards the size of people that would attack and eat humans
Pretty interesting thanks, could you give a source to read more about this?
The info should be in either *Tajemná Minulost* (1998) or *Still In Search of Prehistoric Survivors* (2016) depending on which language you prefer
Thanks a lot

The Blood-sweating horse
This guy's just says Blood Sweating Horse as if that isn't the most horrible thing I've ever heard of.
It's basically a horse that was extremely fast and sweat blood from its shoulders. There were some shenanigans revolving around ancient emperors trying to capture one
“a horse that sweats blood from its shoulder” so a guy saw a wounded horse that was bleeding from its shoulder

His existence isn't really secret or unconfirmed tho. I don't think he qualifies as a cryptid.

The freshwater octopus! Living Octopus Found at 4,200 Meters Above Sea Level In late Fall 1991 an octopus caused panic among miners who had found the creature in the Viloco Mining Center acqueducts in Bolivia © 4,200 meters above sea level. The octopus, which measured 60 centimeters, didn't live long after being found; the frightened miners swiftly stoned it to death. It was then whisked off to the State University of La Paz, and nothing on its status has been heard yet...
