i remember reading about some hominoid cryptid feet tall that is supposed to roam about in washinton d c so there is a small possibility that this could be a related misspelled critter and i think i vaguely recall some cryptid that started with an eth sound though i don't think it was a hominoid type still it seems that every state has or local names for these things and obviously they don't all deserve an article the penthcothian bit is obvious nonsense but i've seen nonsense just as bad in other cryptozoology stubs it's a pretty sad article but i wanted to give it a chance which is what the days allowed by proposed deletion will do
