Cryptids of North America Paper Garland

A wonderfully weird celebration of legendary creatures, roadside folklore, and campfire stories passed from one generation to the next.

This illustrated paper garland features a collection of beloved North American cryptids, including Sasquatch, Ogopogo, Jackalope, Champ, Old Ned, and other legendary beings rumored to lurk in forests, lakes, mountains, and the stranger corners of regional folklore.

Stretching approximately 8 feet long, this playful bunting brings the perfect amount of cozy cryptid energy to bookshelves, game rooms, cabins, reading corners, creative studios, seasonal displays, and tabletop spaces. The included packaging even features a cryptid chart on the reverse side, making it feel a little like a tiny folklore field guide.

Perfect for cryptid enthusiasts, national park wanderers, fantasy readers, tabletop gamers, folklore lovers, and anyone who still secretly hopes Sasquatch might be real.

Why We Love It

This one feels like the gift shop of a very charming roadside cryptid museum — playful, nostalgic, and just self-aware enough. We especially love how it blends folklore, humor, and naturalist curiosity into something that feels both collectible and delightfully strange.

About the Maker

Hissing Mink creates colorful, quirky paper goods and small home treasures inspired by the flora, fauna, folklore, and ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest. Designed, made, and packaged on Mayne Island in British Columbia, their work blends naturalist curiosity with playful storytelling — somewhere between a field guide, a folklore collection, and a cozy little curiosity shop.

We especially love how their pieces celebrate the wild details often overlooked: wetlands, shorebirds, cryptids, native plants, tide pools, and woodland creatures alike.
