Rare Monsters

  The hellidid is one of the fearsome critters of American folklore. Unlike most other fearsome critters, it’s found in the deserts of the south west. It is a chimeric monster with the head of an ant eater, the body of a zebra and four ostrich like legs, and a fluffy tail. The hellidid primarily ate fibrous plants, such as yuccas. It would use its long, serrated tongue to lick at the plants, scraping off the soft bits and leaving the fibre within the leaves behind. The hellidid was also extremely shy and would run off, allowing only quick glimpses of the creature. However, at night it would approach travellers sleeping out in the open and use its rough tongue to lick all the hair off their heads, leaving them shaved in the morning. Obviously the legend of the hellidid was part of a prank cowboys would play on greenhorns and people who overslept, shaving their heads, and blaming it on the hellidid.

  River dinos are small, featherless, dinosaur like creatures. They look like smaller versions of large carnivorous dinosaurs, such as allosaurus or tyrannosaurus, although they are described as having long necks on occasion. There's no report of raptor claws on their feet. Another dinosaur these creatures are often compared to is compsognathus, or at least its depictions in movies. These dinos come in quite a size range, from two feet to five feet tall. Although none of them are as large as the large carnosaurs they're often compared to. These creatures are most often seen in the four corners region, but have been seen all over each of those states, and as far away as Texas and Oklahoma. They are most often seen around river valleys, ponds and other sources of water, hence the name river dinos. Although they're also called mini-rexes and prairie devils. While I believe witnesses are seeing an unknown creature I'm certain it's not a living dinosaur tracing it's...
