CRYPTID
[noun]
in cryptozoology and sometimes in cryptobotany, a cryptid (from the Greek “κρύπτω” krypto, meaning “hide”) is a creature or plant whose existence has been suggested but is unrecognised by scientific consensus and often regarded as highly unlikely.

DRAGANE
[noun]
Celtic (Manx): dragon - a mythical monster traditionally represented as a gigantic reptile having a lion’s claws, the tail of a serpent, wings, and a scaly skin.
Etymology: from Old Irish dragán, an English or Romance loanword, ultimately from Latin dracō, dracōnem, from Ancient Greek δράκων (drakōn, “a serpent of huge size, a python, a dragon”).
[Dave Palumbo]
