Holiday's Guide to the Weird and Wonderful

*Holiday's Guide to the Weird and Wonderful* is an infamous bestiary written by Zon Holiday, containing information about dozens of cryptids believed to be magic's darkest secrets.

## History

Zon Holiday was born in Congo, Africa from an African father and an American mother. As a little girl, she played with the animals of the Congo but one night, she got lost into the jungle. As she awaited for help, Zon encountered her first Cryptid sighting. Even after being rescued, the thought of something amazing hiding within the shadows didn't let go and her passion for Cryptozoology was born.

After graduating from Luna Nova, she dedicated a lot of her time and resources into finding these Cryptids which brought unwanted disdain from her colleagues. Zon hypothesized that ever since magic was born, a huge number of oddities started to took place throughout hundreds of locations in other periods of time which at the same time the Cryptids were first sighted.
