HUNTINGTON, WV - According to information from Cryptid-Tidbits, the Octo-Man is a peculiar cryptid reported to have emerged from the Ohio River, stretching its reach from Ohio to Kentucky, mainly during the mid-1950s.

Described as a hulking, blobby mass, the Octo-Man is said to be three to four times the size of a man and covered in short hair, with a grayish-black body. It is characterized by its rolls of fat, bald head, two legs, and 'ugly' tentacles.

According to Cryptid-Tidbits, theories about the Octo-Man abound. One suggests it is an amphibious animal unknown to science, capable of burrowing deep into river mud and hibernating undetected for long periods.

This might explain the rarity of sightings. However, if the Octo-Man were ectothermic, adjusting its body temperature to its surroundings, it seems unlikely it would emerge in the dead of winter, according to Cryptid-Tidbits.

Yet, considering that octopods can move on land, the idea of an octopus-like creature walking on land is not entirely implausible.
