I love the trope in conspiracies/stories/mockumentaries that’s like “all of these unrelated cultures had this same ultra specific type of creature, so that means they must have been real!!!!” And then the creatures are just like
Human but big
Human but small
Human but found in place where you wouldn’t expect
Lizard but big
Horse but a lil funky
Deer but a lil funky
Other big mammal
It’s like buddy you’re not gonna believe this but these are all based on things that are, in fact, found everywhere
(There’s also very real commentary that can be made here about how people have a sameness and lack of appreciation for indigenous stories and they all belong together in one kind of bin in their heads but that’s way too deep and serious a topic for this post)
