Snallygaster

Snallygaster is a fantasy creature in Additional Creatures.

## Synopsis

Snallygaster is an odd-named cryptid from the united states that is more commonly believed to be a fictional folk tale rather than an actual, plausible creature due to the wild appearance of the creature described. Yet what is being sighted and heard in the dense redwood forests is being identified as the same, if not, similar creature. What survivors are dubbing the “Snallygaster” of the redwoods is a preposterous, bird-like, almost vaguely reptilian or draconic creature. Supposed traits are a venomous bite, flight, unhinging jaws, the ability to breathe fire, and emit high-pitched screaming and other vocalizations to sound louder than it actually is. Its hooping and shrieking calls keeping up any survivor through the night. Some have tried to tame it, but with no luck, as the creature does not seem phased by normal meat...tamed, it might make a very well rounded middle-tier mount...

## Notes/Trivia

* Snallygaster being described as a cryptid can be considered questionable. It was initially described as a bird-lizard abomination with tentacles boring out of its maw and baring a single large eye. It was claimed to appear to attack German immigrants in Maryland, US, in the 1700s. Over time, however, perception of the Snallygaster changed. Beginning in the 1900's, it became more of an urban legend than a cryptid, being the subject of various hoaxes. It was also around this same time that its appearance began to take on more draconic or cockatrice-like characteristics.
* The Grimoire Snallygaster is a reference to Grimoire, a friend of Shadlos who is a very strong advocate of the Snallygaster.
* Snallygaster prior to its TLC was a lot more archaic than the current version. It was significantly faster and had a venomous bite, lacking Bastard's Toxin, it's signature status effect, along with the Banshee Scream and Arson buff. It gained diving flight as well.
* Its taming food is a reference to the creature's supposed love for beer.
