Okay, I noticed you didn't know what the Flatwoods Monster is. well, I'll tell ya what it is! It's described as a 12 foot tall green scaly monster, in some sort of mechanical hoversuit, obscuring it's legs (if it has any). It has a head apparently shaped like an Ace of Spades, with two glowing yellow, cat-like eyes. This is what I recall of the first Flatwoods Monster sighting re-enacted on MonsterQuest (that's a good show!): These kids were playing outside at night, when they saw a bright "fireball" land in the nearby Flatwoods. They, their older brother, and theur mother went out to investigate. They found the glowing ball in the woods, when the older brother shined a light on what appeared to be two glowing yellow lights. The lights, were revealed to be two eyes, of the Flatwoods Monster. It hissed at them, and glided slowly toward them. It released toxic gasses, and they ran. When they outran the creature, the mother found a strange splash of a black, oily substance on her dress. Within the next hour, the "fireball" simply diappeared, with the creature. From then on, sightings like this were reported regularly from the Flatwoods of West Virginia. That's my favorite cryptid (though it's technically also an alien).
