Cryptid Adjustments
They resemble the familiar creatures common to the world, but are always just a bit off. The following sets of adjustments can make ordinary creatures suited to be cryptids.
Experimental Cryptids
An experimental cryptid has been purposefully altered through alchemy, engineering, magic, or ritual to contain some degree of construct components. Although powerful, the process is volatile and imperfect.

Mutant Cryptids
Some strange creatures defy what's expected from others of their kind due to a peculiar mutation. A mutation can come from a wide variety of sources: a quirk in their lineage, effects from their environment, radiation from bizarre crystals, or exposure to uncontrolled magic. A mutant cryptid can defy the normal expectations of its kind. A water elemental might have a planar disjunction that changes its makeup moment to moment, or a werewolf might detest music instead of silver.

Primeval Cryptid
Scholars dream of discovering primeval creatures: remnants of an older age, long thought extinct. The immense bodies and vicious instincts that staved off death in the brutal world before still thrive in their intimidating forms. Primeval cryptids are resilient survivors of their kind or particularly clever individuals that find ways to extend their already prodigious lifespans.

Rumored Cryptid
As stories spread about a rumored cryptid, the weight of collective belief transforms the creature to match the tales. The limits of its physical body no longer confine it.
