** To make it even better, they had a crossover with the above mentioned Main/SecretSaturdays where they joined forces in cryptid hunting.

* ''Anime/KemonoFriends'' features a Tsuchinoko [[PettingZooPeople Friend]]. How exactly she came to be isn't stated, since Friends are created when a living animal or their remains come in contact with [[{{Phlebotinum}} Sandstar]] and to date no physical evidence of the Tsuchinoko has ever been discovered.

* A lot of Syfy Channel movies are based on examples of this trope.

* Some of the creatures that the ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'' and their sucessors ''WesternAnimation/ExtremeGhostbusters'' face are cryptis, although most of the time are paranormal entities like ghosts and demons. Some examples of cryptids in the series are Bigfoot, the Jersey Devil and a Lake Monster.

* In ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid 3'', the members of Mission Control are all really into "[=UMAs=]" (Unidentified Mysterious Animals, apparently the normal term in the ''Metal Gear'' universe for a cryptid) and frequently talk about them to Snake. There is also a Tsuchinoko in the game which you can capture (or eat), and bringing it back alive is a much easier way of netting the Stealth Camouflage than completing a perfect Stealth Run. ''Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker'' also has a cryptid Otaku used to justify the Cross Over with ''Monster Hunter''.

* ''The Cryptids''

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Detentionaire}}'' features a creature known as "the Tatzelwurm", based on the cryptid of the same name.
** This is lampshaded in one episode where Lee refers to it as "the Loch Ness Monster's first cousin".

* ''Manga/EngagedToTheUnidentified'' has cryptis [[spoiler:as part of its main cast (Hakuya, Mashiro, their mother Shirayuki and a few more), though while they are called many names, including "demons", "{{Youkai}}" and the like, they look and mostly behave like ordinary humans.]] Mashiro is also a fan of cryptids and collects figurines; one of the show's {{Running Gag}}s is that she somehow always ends up with lots of Nessies, but not much else.

* {{Literature/Vampirocracy}}: The main character and his friend took a cryptozoology course in college as a prerequisite for [[OurMonstersAreWeird mythozoology.]]

* The title character of Creator/ALeeMartinez's novel ''Monster'' is a freelance Cryptobiological Containment and Rescue Services worker, i.e. a dogcatcher for cryptids.

Those cryptids that haven't received as much media attention, so cannot be classified under the subtropes above, may have their works included here. Works that feature a wide variety of cryptid types, or follow cryptozoologists' attempts to investigate them, also fall under this trope. Series that only have a CryptidEpisode usually leave their existence open to question, whereas cryptid-themed works generally ''do'' reveal their creatures to the audience (if not the characters), sooner or later.

* ''Film/TheMothmanProphecies'' centers on the witnesses of the legendary creature.

* ''Comicbook/ThePerhapanauts'' follows the exploits of a team of cryptids and other otherworldlies within a super-secret intergovernmental agency known as BEDLAM investigating other cryptids and other otherworldlies.

* ''Film/TheMothmanProphecies'': Centers around the witnesses of the legendary creature.

* In ''[[SecretHistories The Spy Who Haunted Me]]'', the rival spies are tasked to investigate several well-known tabloid-style mysteries, including the Loch Ness Monster and an Arkansas Bigfoot-sighting. [[spoiler: And subverts them all, by attributing them to unnatural forces indigenous to Green's Verse, rather than whatever cryptozoologists assume them to be.]]
* ''InCryptid'' by Creator/SeananMcguire is all about a family of cryptozoologists who look after cryptids who exist but are still thought to be rumor by the world at large.

* ''[=MonsterQuest=]'' and ''DestinationTruth'' are cryptozoology-themed programs in the style of ghost-hunter shows.
* ''TheXFiles'' used dozens of cryptid-based stories, and may even have ''started'' a few legends about them.
* ''LostTapes'' features plenty of cryptids in its stories.

* ''D20Modern'' includes a variety of Cryptids from around the world on its "Menace Manual" book, including the Mongolian Death Worm and the Montauk Monster (a trans-dimensional hostile EnergyBeing race that was attracted to Earth by the Philadelphia Experiment).
* In ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}'', the Awakening brought many cryptids out of the closet, some as paranormal animals developed from normal ones (e.g. mermaids as Awakened seals) and others as previously-shy beings that didn't feel the need to hide any longer (sasquatches).

* In ''MetalGearSolid 3'', the members of Mission Control are all really into "[=UMA=]s" (Unidentified Mysterious Animal, apparently the normal term in the Metal Gear universe for a cryptid) and frequently talk about them to Snake. There is also a Tsuchinoko in the game which you can capture (or eat), and bringing it back alive is a much easier way of netting the Stealth Camouflage than completing a perfect Stealth Run. ''Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker'' also has a cryptid Otaku used to justify the Cross Over with Monster Hunter.
* ''Bracken Tor'', the sequel to ''BarrowHill'', will evidently involve cryptid sightings of mysterious predatory beasts in Cornwall. (That is, if it actually does get out of DevelopmentHell...) The game's promotional website displays comments allegedly posted by people who've encountered these creatures.
* ''VideoGames/CastlevaniaDawnOfSorrow'' includes several cryptid monsters that the player will encounter and must defeat during the game.

* The whole premise of ''TheSecretSaturdays'' was finding and dealing with cryptids.

** This is lampshaded in one episode where Lee refers to it as "the Lochness Monster's first cousin".

* Globsters: Unidentified organic masses of skin and organs that wash up on beaches from time to time. Globsters such as the "St Augustine Monster" are often assumed to be cryptids, although necropsies may prove them to be known animal carcasses rendered hard to recognize by decomposition.
* The UK has a history of mysterious big cats of various sorts, usually blamed on pet big cats being released in the 60s/70s after the laws were changed to stop people owning big cats and keeping them in their own home. However, a lot of the stories pre-date that by quite some period of time (in some cases centuries). They were mentioned a fair bit in the news in the 80s and 90s, but have the stories have sort of faded in the last few years. They still crop up from time to time though.
