  S3 E7: Amabiko

This time, on Counting Cryptids:

  We discuss a Japanese water spirit known as Amabiko. The Amabiko appear in the oceans of Japan, warning of impending disaster. It was said that using its image would help save those who looked upon it. Drawings were made and widely distributed across the region. The images vary in appearance from ape-like, cephalopod-like, and even bird-like, and even takes the form of inanimate objects. And strangely, they have three legs. Join us Cryptid Counters, as we wade through yet another episode of Counting Cryptids.

AKA Sort of a Mermaid?
