Hold onto your hats and your M&Ms as we take you down to the bayou, where the Rougarou lurks in the shadows. This isn't your average campfire tale –  encounters with this Cajun cryptid is one for the books, with a peculiar penchant for brightly colored candy and a backstory that will make you rethink every rustle in the dark. As we dissect this shapeshifter's lore, we can't resist drawing parallels to other supernatural entities and questioning the fragile boundary between myth and mundane.

We're calling all cryptid aficionados to band together, and, trust me, you don't want to miss the Oddity Shop cryptid survival kit we're giddily teasing. 

So tune in, keep your sense of humor at the ready, and let's "creep it real" together in the land of the extraordinary – here at the Oddity Shop.
