  • A Cryptid is an animal which is not yet known to modern science, such as Big Foot, Mothman, or the Loch Ness Monster. Sometimes, a show that is not usually focused on them will have an episode or two about them. This type of episode can be used as a characterisation exercise, establishing some of the characters as believers and others as skeptics. Possible plots for this kind of episode include: * The characters spend the episode trying to find the cryptid. In a Slice of Life series, they generally don't succeed, conclude that it must not exist, and go home. (Sometimes it will be revealed to the audience that the creature is Real After All, but the characters discovering a cryptid could permanently change their lives forever, and that's BAD). * The characters find a cryptid early in the episode, and spend the episode trying to look after it/hide it/help it find its way home. * Characters are traveling on holiday and encounter one. (Abominable Snowman seems to be the most common one for this, what with mountain getaways and Christmas Episodes providing plenty of snowy settings). * A show with a Monster of the Week format will have a cryptid as one of said monsters. * A crime show may come across a murder or other crime allegedly committed by a cryptid. The characters usually find out that there's a reasonable explanation for it. If done clumsily, this can easily result in a BLAM Episode. Examples of Cryptid Episode include:
