Uninteresting in the context that nothing of that sort exists and everything can just be explained with a scientific explanation. Does it take away all interest/mystery from it all for anyone else? I wish all that shit did exist because it’d make things a whole lot more interesting.
And replace cryptids with life that exists in some of the most extreme areas of Earth. Life in those areas have evolved some really weird ways of surviving and can be unlike anything you or I see on a day to day basis. Show one of these creatures to someone from ancient times and they’d think it was a monster/cryptid of some kind.
Even everyday animals are extremely interesting. We overlook ants all the time. One time I stopped to watch some ants. There was a big ant and a bunch of little ones. The little ones were fighting the big one. It fought back valiantly, but was overwhelmed and died. Then the little ants started dragging it away. There was this whole battle happening right beneath my feet and I almost didn’t see it. How many of those battles do I literally step over while walking to my car.
The world is incredibly complex and fascinating. You don’t need to add ghosts, Bigfoot, or the Loch Ness Monster to make the world interesting.
