Don looking like a Walmart cryptid

I didn't know the word cryptid and looked to the root word "crypt", then at the picture of Trump for context clues. I deduced it must mean something like someone half-dead, foot-in-the grave, etc.

But I mused that the root could be cryptic, too 🤔

So I looked it up:

Any creature that may or may not exist. Sightings of various cryptids have been reported, but their reality has not been proved.

Thanks for a new word! Also, Sasquatch exists!!

Also cryptozoology: the study of cryptids (pseudo of course).

Hah you could just have Google cryptids to start ;) But looks like you found your way! Yes, basically modern day mythological creatures

Everything is cryptic when you're high

Crypt is etymologically where dead bodies are hidden when it comes to how we got it from Greek. Necroid or thanatoid would be nice English descriptions of him too though.
