ESSENTIAL COMPANION TO CRYPTOZOOLOGICAL "MONSTER" EDUCATION

Dr. Ione Wardenguard's groundbreaking academic text provides the scientific foundation for cryptid research. While created as a standalone academic work, this comprehensive classification system illuminates the rich cryptozoological universe to better understand the beings living seen and unseen.
