Clash of the Cryptids: Bigfoot, Mothman & a 16-Monster Tournament

Who would win in a fight: Bigfoot, Mothman, the Loch Ness Monster, or the Jersey Devil? Clash of the Cryptids puts 16 legendary creatures into a head-to-head monster tournament, with Josh and Travis arguing each battle and Jordan deciding who advances. We compare cryptid folklore, reported abilities, size, and the questionable advantages that could turn an unlikely contender into the ultimate champion. Meet All 16 Cryptids: Illustrated Contestant Guide From the Chupacabra and Mongolian Death Worm to the Fresno Nightcrawler and Loveland Frogman, this bracket brings together famous monsters and some deeply strange underdogs. Can brute strength beat flight? What happens when a lake monster has to face something outside its own habitat? And how is the Squonk supposed to survive any of this? We work through the matchups, defend our picks, and describe increasingly visceral finishes as the field narrows. The science gets a workout, the rules invite arguments, and Travis has plenty of opinions about how these fights should end. Along the way, we get into the stories behind the creatures and the difference between a terrifying reputation and a useful fighting skill. Stick around for the final verdict, a quiz, and a cryptid battle song. Then tell us: who should have won, and which legendary creature would you send into the arena? **Text Us Some Fan Mail** Support the show Where to find us: Website: aliens.buzzsprout.com Instagram: aliens_yes_but_maybe_no Youtube: @AliensYesButMaybeNo
