With today being Halloween, I think this would be a great time to talk about our favorite gimmicks either based on or named after some of history's most well known Cryptids (For example, Loch Ness in Stampede Wrestling). Also, something I was thinking of, has there ever been a masked wrestler using a Chupacabra gimmick in either Carlos Colon's WWC territory in Puerto Rico, or in any Mexican Lucha Libre promotion? It just seems like the perfect horror themed heel gimmick to do in a Latin American country. Yet I can't recall it ever being used.

There is a indie wrestler by the name of El Chupacabra,but he uses face paint not a mask.

The guy delivering the press slam was known as the Jersey Devil. He lost a finger and had to retire.

Macho Sasquatcho! Does he cut Randy Savage style promos comprised of nothing but grunting with a random 'Oh Yeah' thrown in in a deep voice.

When the Jonathan Boyd/Rip Morgan version of the Sheepherders split for a while, Boyd teamed with a different guy named Bigfoot.
Jeff Hardy's OMEGA gimmick, Will O' The Wisp.
I seem to recall an indie wrestler in the last decade using "Dover Demon" as his nickname, but can't find anything online. Likewise, I recall a Kappa (the Japanese turtle monster thing) in one of those weirdass feds over there, maybe the one with Ken the Box in it.
Have any wrestlers used the Thunderbird nickname?

Would you count the "Dog-faced Gremlin?"

That weird Kappa thing was in Michinoku Pro in the mid-to-late '90s. I remember seeing him wrestle Mike Quackenbush during one of his trips over there.
