Wyrd Wessex

The Ultimate Cryptid Tournament (Shadow People vs. Lizard Man) | Wyrd Wessex


Listen Later

This week, the Wyrdo's toss out the trick-or-treating in favor of a full-scale Cryptid Tournament, battling the world’s most dangerous and bizarre creatures against each other to crown a single champion.

Using a custom deck of cards (blame the manufacturer!), we dive deep into the stats and lore to decide who would win in a fight.


The Combatants & The Lore
  • The Shadow People: We explore the terrifying lore of these silent, stalking figures.
  • El Silbón (The Whistler): The horrifying origin of the Venezuelan spirit who carries a bag of bones and signals his arrival with a whistle.
  • The Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp: We examine the repulsive aggression of this car-smashing South Carolinian beast.


The Controversial Finale


The chaos culminates in a shocking final round between the venomous Mongolian Death Worm and one of the biggest legends in American folklore. The battle ends in a dramatic tie—forcing us to bring in a secret, scythe-wielding Wildcard to decide the winner.


Was the final truly fair, or was the whole thing a plot to crown a certain, chaotic winner? We leave it for you to judge the stats.



Stay Wyrd!
