Anomaly #4 - Paratheo

Cryptid Type: Beast (Mutation)

sTATUS: ROAMING

In the depths of the ocean surrounding Poppy Valley resides a crafty, aquatic beast with an insatiable appetite for stealing precious belongings. Paratheo the Soul Hoarder, “Theo” for short, is alleged to be a gargantuan mutated fish easily surpassing 100 meters in length. Although Paratheo’s build is strong enough to crush buildings, it still chooses to move stealthy rather than aggressively (as if it unaware of it’s own strength).

A popular online theory from Theo-based fanclubs is that Paratheo is actually a pacifist that takes precious belongings from negligent owners so they gain a greater appreciation for what they have. But after several counts of sailors having entire boats pulled underwater with them onboard and loved ones being snatched from families, the death toll has deterred many from enjoying the coastline peacefully. Many recreational beach locations such as Poppy Valley’s very own “Aquator Seaside Resort” have shut indefinitely down due to loss of business.

It is rumored that Paratheo frequents private islands of the wealthy, since there are a lot of items with material value that are easily accessible.

Anomaly #3 - The Archive

Cryptid Type: Location (Hidden)

sTATUS: CONQUERED

Within the Valerian Preparatory Institute’s Library resides a hidden room filled with Cryptid knowledge and lore. Although most of it’s text is coded using terminologies from the TTRPG “Castles and Cryptids”, the information within that text relates to many documented anomalies within Poppy Valley.

While the room is seemingly unoccupied, items that are tossed into the hole at the front entrance reappear within the room itself. Whether it be mail appearing in the room’s apple tree or cryptids being send to the preservation room, the room has it’s own mysterious way of sorting items and managing itself when no one’s around.

Anomaly #1 - Cardicore

Cryptid Type: Parasite (Mimic)

sTATUS: CONTAINED

The Cardicore is a Mimic-type Parasite that utilizes it’s accumulated life essence in it’s sac to control other living organisms. Once it’s solidified intestine lure encompasses a living organism, the parasite secretes it’s mind-melding concoction into the target’s entry points.

When control is sized, the parasite uses it’s new vessel to capture additional victims and transport them to the West. It is unconfirmed where their final destination resides, but the rumor about corpse sightings in Western Kohler Reservoir make the mystery a little less blurry.

Anomaly #2 - Doting Dan

Cryptid Type: Object (Animated)

sTATUS: DESTROYED

The Doting Dan Mascot is a favored attraction of the Happy Pappy Emporium as it is openly huggable and extremely soft. It is thought to be filled with soft stuffing, however certain children claim to feel the warm and pulse of a living creature. There is a very small number of cases that people have experienced this warm, but all of them involve children who are very recluse in nature.

Only when the target is truly alone does the animated bear snap to attention and rush the target. Though it’s intention seems to be comforting the target, the manifestation of sharp teeth and claws tends to shred the target as it’s attempt of a soft embrace shifts to a bone-crushing bear hug.
