The Tsuchinoko

Ai Generated

The Tsuchinoko is very a bizarre snake-like creature stemming from Japanese folklore. This cryptid is often described as a short, chunky snake with a very thick mid section and a relatively small head and tail.

This creature is rumored to be a little under 3 feet long and is known for swallowing its own tail to roll including being able to leap great distances and even roll or flip through the air.

The lore of Tsuchinoko claims it can mimic human speech and is said to be great at lying. There is no scientific evidence of its existence, however numerous alleged sightings have been reported across Japan adding a lot of mystery to its true origins some towns have even offered rewards for proof of its existence.
