QUIZ: Which Obscure Mythological Creature Should You Hunt?

We’ve all heard of Big Foot, Nessie, the Yeti, and all the other heavy hitters of the cryptozoological world. Those guys are so passé. Old news. Booooorrrring. What about those lesser-known folkloric creatures?

Shouldn’t someone be out there hunting those unsung cryptids? Yes, you should!

Take this quiz and find out which obscure beastie you’re destined to hunt!

1. How do you feel about tea?

a) I prefer Moose Drool Brown Ale.
b) Barry’s Tea is magic in a cup.
c) Loose-leaf green tea is the only way to go.
d) Who needs tea? I just reach out the window, grab a Foster’s-soaked wallaby, and wring it out into my mornin’ coffee.
e) Got any Airag? Love me some fermented horse milk.

2. What’s your favorite color?

a) The color of Pecos Bill’s soulful eyes.
b) Chartreuse!
c) Blue. Deep, deep blue.
d) I don’t care, mate. Got a Foster’s?
e) What color is acid?

3. What’s your favorite movie?

a) Anything with John Wayne. The Duke rocks my socks.
b) I’ve seen Once twenty times. I’m listening to the soundtrack right now.
c) Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Or maybe Mulan; Mushu warms my heart.
d) Crocodile Dundee. Paul Hogan is a dream! He’s also the man to which I compare all other men.
e) I like to watch the scene from Return of the Jedi with the Sarlacc over and over and over again. Anyone who says the Sarlacc isn’t the best character in all of Star Wars deserves to be slowly digested by a Sarlacc.

4. If you had one wish, what would you wish for?

a) I’d like a set of antlers. Antlers are so stylin’!
b) To be able to breathe under water.
c) To outlaw Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes. Down with Tony the Tiger!
d) To reverse public opinion on dingoes. They don’t eat babies, people. At least not much. Anymore… probably. On second thought, I’m not sure.
e) To develop a high tolerance to acid. Not the drug, the corrosive substance. Ok, maybe the drug too.

5. Do you believe in magic?

a) I think there’s a certain wisdom to fables and folklore.
b) We are our myths and legends.
c) “If the wind comes from an empty cave, it’s not without a reason.” Huh? Eh, I dunno. Sounds deep.
d) I believe in the Crocodile Hunter. He was magic. Just thinking about him gets me all wistful and teary. Do you have a Kleenex?
e) I believe in fear!

G’day mate, Australian Hoop Snakes are the slippery beasts you’re after. Unlike regular serpents, Hoop Snakes are the roly-poly, forked-tongued upright hula-hoops of the animal kingdom. And if you can’t catch a Hoop Snake, there are always loose Drop Bears lurking in the Outback.
