Let us hope that you will, at some point, create a video documenting the biological reality of the mananangal. Maybe you could even have an interview with the creature, if it somehow exhibits the ability of human speech. All in all, good video, sir. I hope they will continue to instill fearful imaginations for future generations.
*HELL YEAH!!!!* PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEEEEEEEE POST A VIDEO ON BIGFOOT PLEASE!!!! SENT MY AGONISING SOUL FREE AND COMPLETE THE MAIN CRYPTIDS!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
_"Y'all should've seen the other guy. The other guy, apparently, a hunter and a Christian, who thought I was a demon. Gave 'im the fade, definitely pissed him off."_ -The West Jersey Devil
Perplexing, but the fact that the fungus mutates the bat changing its teeth, makes you wonder if those stories of the Jersey Devil swooping down the chimney and eating children are connected.
I like how these run the gamut from “cool bird” to “VILE BIO-SORCERIES OF THE ELDER RACES“ to “fucked up bat losing a fight with God’s strongest yeast infection”
As a resident and born and raised in New Jersey I’m proud to have a legend associated with my state of birth and happy that you are taking about our state monster. I never once missed your videos! Keep up the awesome work thoughtPotato. You’re a great inspiration to biology and science and a Great way to inspire spark curiosity and study in science.

I just really want to see some many creatures from cryptozoology amd mythology given explanations via your scientific research, studies, and explanations.
Yo dude I was doing research into mythical plants the other day and discovered 'Vegetable Lamb of Tartary' I know you normally do cryptids but this would be really fascinating to see and I would love to see what your mind creates In addition you could also do the vampire water melon and pumpkins from Balkan folklore (this is more of a comedic suggestion but I would love to see it as an April fools video or something) Love the videos There really inspiring for my own projects Keep up the good work
Holy crap, wasn’t expecting this so soon! Really hype now to see what comes next with the static chickens and (hopefully) the danger noodle with a mean glare
Thought Potato releases really neat content that I will one day find on my cycle of "BINGE-WATCH *THIS CONTENT CREATOR EXCLUSIVELY* FOR A MONTH" For now I shall consume these vids in a normal, sane fashion.
@@HeirofAzaran I suspect that myself, I get the same vibe with Nessie and Champy being related. We have Yeti are related to Yowie, Sasaquatch/Bigfoot, and skunk ape theory.
Hi Thought Potato! This second video for December is a sudden (and welcome) surprise! Thank You a lot for your efforts! I was hoping to hear You speaking about the Jersey Devil since the video on the Chupacabra (I incorrectly assumed that the creature's weird look might've been explained with further development of the CHV, but in this way, I was removing from the whole picture the aspect of the flight). The solution provided for the size increase (triggered by the interaction of the specimen with a swamp fungus) is interesting indeed. I am curious to know if similar symbiotic/parasitic interconnections will be exploited in further analysis of other mythological subjects. I also wondered if other, oversized members of the order Chiroptera could've inspired a couple of (less-known) bizarre flying creatures from the southern hemisphere. Specifically, I was thinking about the so-called "Kongamato" and "Ropen", which both apparently feature leathery wings, resembling living pterosaurs. I'd like to share some suggestions on these too, if this doesn't bother You! I hope You live a Happy Holiday since You truly did your best to grant us the same! My best regards to You!
I'd love to see you cover the snallygaster, it's rivalry with the dwayyo,it's color changing and vocal abilities,the "normal" version with two eyes and a beak,and the "modern" version with one eye and tentacles
As an NJ native I always like seeing different takes on our resident cryptid! Playing off the very real and devastating White-nose syndrome that affects our local bat population is tragically brilliant!
I’d love to see you do Not-Deer or Changelings. I can see not-deer being a case of predatory mimicry-disguising themselves as their preferred prey to hunt them. Maybe they’re actually canines or something similar For Changelings, having them be another species of hominid might be interesting. A brood parasite that snatches up human infants and replaces them with its own young. These creatures would probably look mostly human until they reach a certain age, at which point they start diverging from human development and as such instinctually leave home to complete their growth in peace
Will you be looking into those supposed "living Dinosaur" Cryptids? The ones I'd like to see reimagined as more plausible fauna would have to be: 1. Burrunjor 2. Mokele Mbembe 3. Arica Monster 4. Patridge Creek Monster
Ooh! I hope you do one that uses parasitic isopods or other arthropods like barnacles. It would also be interesting if instead of a population, some myths were based of just one mutated or individual, maybe of a species with a long lifespan accounting for why the creature seems immortal
So I know the origin story was briefly retold, of the 13th child who was born deformed and escaped out the chimney. With the way this fungus penetrates the barrier in pregnant bats, what if the fungus successfully infected a human?
Dear thought potatoe keep pumping out the 🔥 😂. But don’t over do yourself but these are the kind of videos that gets my blood pumping getting off work speculative biology on cryptids.
This one is a unique take with it being a mysterious condition rather than a mysterious creature by itself. Kinda reminds me how CWD could be what inspired the Not Deer.
Damn. Potato dropping creepy stuff in rapid succession! And two creatures I wasn’t expecting. Perhaps one day you can take a look at some East Asian folklore? There’s a bunch of fun stories of twisted beings in there.
I'm going to give my hypothesis: it's not that fungus can cross the placental barrier but rather that the fungus has epigenetic effects on the egg cells and sperm cells of adult bats. Thus the changes in pups are literally "built in" from conception.

Is the character sponsored by Factor in universe?
Let us hope that you will, at some point, create a video documenting the biological reality of the mananangal.

All in all, good video, sir. I hope they will continue to instill fearful imaginations for future generations.
Very cool video. I wonder what could be next? Bigfoot/yeti, snalygaster, mokele mbembe, mapinguari, or maybe even the Lizard man?
The legend said a HUMAN woman gave birth to one …
I smell a part 2 coming😊
*HELL YEAH!!!!*
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEEEEEEEE POST A VIDEO ON BIGFOOT PLEASE!!!! SENT MY AGONISING SOUL FREE AND COMPLETE THE MAIN CRYPTIDS!!!!!

@Sup_Aqualine369 classic
I came to the comments to find interesting comments talking about the Jersey Devil and the first thing I see is this and I love it. XD
You could honestly write a book about the scientific biology of cryptids based on these videos. That would be awesome
Perplexing, but the fact that the fungus mutates the bat changing its teeth, makes you wonder if those stories of the Jersey Devil swooping down the chimney and eating children are connected.
I like how these run the gamut from “cool bird” to “VILE BIO-SORCERIES OF THE ELDER RACES“ to “fucked up bat losing a fight with God’s strongest yeast infection”
I’d be interested to see how you could do the
snallygaster
Lou carcolh (carnivorous giant snail from French folklore)
Ushi-oni
The Snallygaster would be hilarious to see a video by Thought Potato.
a big featherless jacana bird could kinda work (for snallygaster)
Hell yeah the snallygjastet is great (its Va's like natuinal cryptid)
Is that what all those knights where fighting in all that knights vs snails art?
I’ve been hoping that you would go over the jersey devil! It’s one of the coolest little tidbits of folklore that’s appeared in decently recent times!
As a resident and born and raised in New Jersey I’m proud to have a legend associated with my state of birth and happy that you are taking about our state monster. I never once missed your videos! Keep up the awesome work thoughtPotato. You’re a great inspiration to biology and science and a Great way to inspire spark curiosity and study in science.
I like you made a chimeric monster into a simply bat mutated by a fungus
I don't like getting the video spoiled by the top comment :( (/not serious)

As a New Jersey native, I've been waiting for your Jersey Devil video for a long time. Thanks, Thought Potato.
500 veiws in 12 minutes... Yeah this guy's still got it. These videos brighten my day every time a new one comes out
I haven't seen a video about the Jersey Devil for a long time,to be honest I completely forgot about this cryptid (the lil dude deserves more love)
2 videos in 1 week?
You are spoiling us good sir
I have never heard THIS MUCH use of the term Hypertrophy, in one place, outside of bodybuilding/lifting channels😂
Yo dude
I was doing research into mythical plants the other day and discovered 'Vegetable Lamb of Tartary'
I know you normally do cryptids but this would be really fascinating to see and I would love to see what your mind creates
In addition you could also do the vampire water melon and pumpkins from Balkan folklore (this is more of a comedic suggestion but I would love to see it as an April fools video or something)
Love the videos
There really inspiring for my own projects
Keep up the good work
This is his first video in a year with no words in the thumbnail
Babe wake up, Thought Potato posted!
Haven't watched it yet but I'm sure it'll be a banger! Please do one on Bigfoot and include the Sierra sounds recording somehow!
7:25 “Hello there.”
“General Kenobi!”
Frfr
Seven days since the last one man, this was quick
Holy crap, wasn’t expecting this so soon! Really hype now to see what comes next with the static chickens and (hopefully) the danger noodle with a mean glare
Thought Potato releases really neat content that I will one day find on my cycle of "BINGE-WATCH *THIS CONTENT CREATOR EXCLUSIVELY* FOR A MONTH"
For now I shall consume these vids in a normal, sane fashion.
I was wondering what this one would be. I was thinking maybe a bat or a version of Mothman
He's already made a video on Mothman.
@Warrior-Of-Virtue I know. I was just thinking that it might be related to them
@@HeirofAzaran I suspect that myself, I get the same vibe with Nessie and Champy being related. We have Yeti are related to Yowie, Sasaquatch/Bigfoot, and skunk ape theory.
@Jessidafennecfox Exactly! Thank you!
Eh, based on people’s description, I actually am more inclined to think of the Jersey Devil as some kind of pterodactyl.
Jersey devil-bat!
Bigfoot-bear?
Fairy-bug?
WE’RE EATING GOOD THIS MONTH!
Another great one
All these cryptids and no love for humble sasquatch
*sad monke noises*
+1
You should do the shunka warrakin or the not-deer next, I think you’ll find them quite interesting
Hi Thought Potato!
This second video for December is a sudden (and welcome) surprise! Thank You a lot for your efforts!

My best regards to You!
The way I squealed. I was wondering if you’d ever cover the jersey devil in this series
Never been this early before! Well, time for another Biology lecture.
Thank you for covering one of the first cryptids i looked into back when i was little i really love your explanations on what these entities are
One I'd love to see is a Kitsune/Tanuki video, showing how they can shapeshift through science
I'm currently binge watching every video i didn't watched in the past... But i can watch this in a meanwhile:D
Sweet! The Jersey Devil! Excellent video as always! Keep up the great work Thought Potato!
I'd love to see you cover the snallygaster, it's rivalry with the dwayyo,it's color changing and vocal abilities,the "normal" version with two eyes and a beak,and the "modern" version with one eye and tentacles
As an NJ native I always like seeing different takes on our resident cryptid! Playing off the very real and devastating White-nose syndrome that affects our local bat population is tragically brilliant!
Jersey Devil let's goooooo!!!! Was wondering when this one would be on the chopping block.
I’d love to see you do Not-Deer or Changelings.
I can see not-deer being a case of predatory mimicry-disguising themselves as their preferred prey to hunt them. Maybe they’re actually canines or something similar
For Changelings, having them be another species of hominid might be interesting. A brood parasite that snatches up human infants and replaces them with its own young. These creatures would probably look mostly human until they reach a certain age, at which point they start diverging from human development and as such instinctually leave home to complete their growth in peace
My favorite cryptid that I don’t think is real!
Will you be looking into those supposed "living Dinosaur" Cryptids?
The ones I'd like to see reimagined as more plausible fauna would have to be:
1. Burrunjor
2. Mokele Mbembe
3. Arica Monster
4. Patridge Creek Monster
Ooh! I hope you do one that uses parasitic isopods or other arthropods like barnacles. It would also be interesting if instead of a population, some myths were based of just one mutated or individual, maybe of a species with a long lifespan accounting for why the creature seems immortal
So the Jersey devil in this version a big bat interesting I wonder if it’s related to the ahool
God I love the creativity of these videos.
As a proud resident of Jersey who has been sick over the holidays this has made my week.
Thank you for making such great videos. They're such a highlight of my week whenever I see them
I feel like an analysis of the Flatwoods monster could be super cool.
as always incredible work, I can feel the screeches in my spine.
Bats are my favorite animals so this is my favorite video from you, Professor. Thank you so much for this
We've had Mothman and now Jersey Devil. Does this mean things like Bigfoot and Dover Demon coming soon?!
Another Spooky-Good 👻 Documentation, i feel Pity for these animals. I won’t Be afraid if I heard them in the woods.
Man, I love your videos. They are so clever. I love the manticore and kelpie videos. Those are my favorite so far.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcomed one.
Man I love this channel!
Still not as terrifying as what’s at the Jersey Shore
Next video biology of the Snooky truly terrifying
Nice, i always knew you were going to do the Jersey Devil one day
I was going to comment about the Jersey Devil on the last video 😭😭 I’m so happy this is happening thank you TP ❤❤❤❤
I LOVE all your videos thank you so much!!!! Two in a week ❤ truly a fantastic gift
Let's gooo! Awesome take on the Jersey Devil. Fingers crossed for a Phoenix soon!
You know i really love your videos and i really love this story you’re doing i hope you continue it.
Myth: a demon lurking around, its intent unknown.
Thought potato universe: dunanunanunanuna Batman!
Great video.
Congrats on the factor sponsorship.
I've been waiting for this one for so long let's go!
Please do a multi headed being like the Hydra,Herbert's and Chimera the next time
So I know the origin story was briefly retold, of the 13th child who was born deformed and escaped out the chimney. With the way this fungus penetrates the barrier in pregnant bats, what if the fungus successfully infected a human?
Say if you do a video in the future about the ahool it could be a subspecies of the jersey devil
Dear thought potatoe keep pumping out the 🔥 😂. But don’t over do yourself but these are the kind of videos that gets my blood pumping getting off work speculative biology on cryptids.
New video already
This one is a unique take with it being a mysterious condition rather than a mysterious creature by itself.
Kinda reminds me how CWD could be what inspired the Not Deer.
The Jersey Devil has a unique and unrepeatable design
Agreed. Tragic is a great way to describe the New Jersey Devils.
It’s the Jersey Devil!
Never expected this one. I thought the Jersey Devil was too ridiculous.
Damn. Potato dropping creepy stuff in rapid succession! And two creatures I wasn’t expecting.
Perhaps one day you can take a look at some East Asian folklore? There’s a bunch of fun stories of twisted beings in there.
I got camping every year in the Pines, you should do a video on the Pineys, they’re scarrier
Hell yeah, jerz representation always goated
Hm would this fungi be more advanced and stable in new stable in the jungles of new guinea making the Ahool?
so good
Good thing this fungus only affects bats! Right? Right... right?
7:28 I swear for a moment I thought that was General Grevious from Star Wars Revenge of the Sith. 😂😂
You should make an Official Art of These Creatures in their natural habitat like what you did with Kelpie
Yay! The Jersey Devil! Thank you so much.
5:54 On ærne morgen Winterfylleþes,
fēdeþ sēo beorhte sunne ūre wrǣþþe.
(Thanks to the 3 people who understood the reference)
Omg such a good idea (Fresno nightcrawler when?)
Biology of the Nuckelavee next?
I wonder where this fits in the timeline. Is it closer to the centaurs at Thessaly, or the vampire and werewolf investigations?
I love your content. Have you ever considered the cryptids of Northern Africa, specifically the NW?
Woooooooo🎉
Finally, I'm complete... Thank you... 😢😢😢
I'm going to give my hypothesis: it's not that fungus can cross the placental barrier but rather that the fungus has epigenetic effects on the egg cells and sperm cells of adult bats. Thus the changes in pups are literally "built in" from conception.
TWO IN ONE MONTH? Oh it IS a Merry Christmas
Can you do the biology of the set animal?
Thank you for this!
Can the next cryptid/mythological creature you do be either the Not Deer, the Tatzelwurm or the Nuckelavee?
Can you make a video about the ningen it can be a amphibian like a axolotl.
THOUGHT POTATOOOO!!!!! DROP ANOTHER VIDEO AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!
Lemme guess, Jersey Devils are bats? Just like Kelpies are octopi?
Edit: called it
Nahuales please! Also great job
I love bats.
Hm, I wonder how Vita Nova seems to know where and when to send the narrator and his team to make these investigations.
