Land-based cryptids live along the edges of the human world. They inhabit the liminal spaces, the places where humans seldom go. The forests of North America. The moors and fells of the British Isles. The high peaks and valleys of the Himalayas. The jungles of Southeast Asia. The wilds of Tasmania, and the Australian Outback. Mostly they exist in the imagination of the humans who live near them or go out hunting them. Once in a great while, they turn out to be real.
