Welcome to What The Heck's Creature Feature! These episodes release on Saturdays and look at folklore and cryptids from around the world! The same academic style is applied to these episodes, but they look at history and eyewitness reports before describing the creature of the week! A lot of the time, theories are a bit more scarce than the main episodes, but the content is still just as interesting.

This week we're looking at the Tatzelwurm. First appearing in the 17th Century, these creatures are a menace. They exist in the Alps, especially areas in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. This episode even has a photograph! What his the Tatzelwurm? What special powers do they have? Who took the photograph? Listen in to find out!
