Welcome to What The Heck's Creature Feature! These episodes look at cryptids and folklore from around the world using stories gathered from various sources. The same method is applied to these as the main episodes! So far, we're yet to have enough information to prove or disprove any of the creatures we've looked at!

This week we're looking at Archons. Appearing in Gnostic Christianity, these creatures are said to be in complete control of our reality. They are attributed to one of 7 planets, parts of the sky, and even Pagan Gods. According to Gnosticism, they prevent humanity from attaining salvation. They don't act independently, serving a being called the Demiurge. What are Archons? Could they possibly exist? Are there conspiracy theories attached to this? Listen in to find out!
