Here we go, we’re breaking down another cryptid creature. This time we want to know about the sad sad loose skinned teary eyed Squonk that lurks around the hemlocks of north-central Pennsylvania. It was described early on in William T. Cox’s Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods, With a Few Desert and Mountain Beasts. It’s a long name, but the short book is packed full of cryptids from all over the United States. Cox says about the Squonk “Because of its misfitting skin, which is covered with warts and moles, it is always unhappy”. Its peculiar defense mechanism is quite unique. If it’s spooked by anything it’ll simply burst into a puddle of liquid.

J.P. Wentling once thought he was clever enough to have caught a Squonk in a burlap sack, but soon enough all Wentling was carrying was a sopping sack.
