What happens when the world’s most famous cryptids go head-to-head with creatures from fantasy and folklore?

This week on Between the States, we’re settling the matchups nobody asked for but everyone deserves to see. Bigfoot takes on a Forest Troll, the Chupacabra battles a Red Cap Goblin, Dogman faces a Werewolf, Mokele-mbembe goes up against a Swamp Ogre, the Mongolian Death Worm meets a Sand Worm, and the Jersey Devil fights a Harpy.

We break down each monster’s strengths, weaknesses, weapons, intelligence, questionable supernatural abilities, and chances of surviving the fight. Then we compare our picks with the verdicts from several different AI models to see whether humans or machines have the better understanding of imaginary monster combat.

Finally, we throw the surviving creatures together into a cryptid and fantasy creature Royal Rumble to decide which unlikely monster team would come out on top.

If you’re into Bigfoot, cryptozoology, mythical creatures, folklore monsters, werewolves, Chupacabra sightings, the Jersey Devil, Dogman, Mongolian Death Worm stories, fantasy creatures, paranormal legends, or ridiculous hypothetical battles, this episode is for you.
