Cryptozoology

Ho ho ho ho ho 
nah its probably just a fat seal.

Exploring only 5% of the physical mass of our planets water is, first of all a small estimate, but more importantly is not tied to understanding only 5% of our planets water. We know a lot about the natural constraints of marine ecosystems and about methods and restrictions of evolution, enough to invalidate an awful lot of cryptid claims.

"Real" cryptozoologists aren't hunting for mythological creatures, they're searching for consistencies in stories and portrayals that can lead to accurate identifications, most often of previously documented animals.

Some "real" cryptozoologists do seem somewhat legitimate. But people looking for ridiculous crap is more funny
But wendigos are legit, I know they are because I fit the description, I cannot stop eating. Ok but cannibalism in the woods is probably something that did happen.

I believe Cryptids provide a fascinating glimpse into the human condition. I would like to see a few quality models though. My daughter claimed to have seen a unidentified creature a few years ago...dark colour about the size of a sheep moving in an undulating fashion...crossed the road in front of her on the way back from collecting pizza! I suspect she misidentified a otter...it was dark at the time.

There simply isnt enough quality cryptid figures that are widely available ,either they are very hard to find elusive type figures or they are to small with only 2 or 3 in the series...glad wild safari and papo have made some both in this and the mythology area...they are a break from regular prehistoric figures...

I want Krampus! Or Amphisbanea! I dreamed about it's toy as a kid. Chupacabra would be cool too.

I'm a cryptid fan, but only a very casual one (and definitely not one that believes any of them exist  )

Probability alone dictates that at least some of them may exist. According to National Ocean Service, only 5% of the oceans have been explored.

Actually, 20%. And also, the vast majority of the ocean is just dead, empty space. We have seen most of the active zones.

Exactly this. Marine cryptids are about the least likely ones to exist because based on what we have explored of the oceans we know the rest of the open ocean that we haven't explored isn't capable of supporting large enough populations of large animals for them to have gone realistically unnoticed. In order to have large enough populations to exist they'd need to range into areas we have explored, essentially.
