Boneless
There’s a cryptid found in Longdendale, a mountain pass in the Peak District of England. It’s a slug the size of a horse, with a head that looks like that of a whale. It has at least one eye, which swivels madly in its socket. Boneless makes a grating noise as it travels. It doesn’t seem linked to any Realm: it might just be an animal that has risen up out of the caves that riddle the Peak.
