Many of our cryptids don't make sense to them because it's just normal fauna for their world, there are literally kids with a pet T-rex, an Alien, or a robot and no one is going to bat an eye, Nessie? I have one in the port, do I use it as transportation between island and island, Mokèle-mbèmbé? Sure, it's in the garden, today is the season to harvest its bananas, Bigfoot? That stinker never wants to take a bath, Mothman? Or do you mean my Mothim and Hypno, those two like to make bad jokes, since hypno learned telepathy he likes to pretend to be a prophet.
