Born in the first days of creation when the world's magic was raw and untamed, the Grootslang was deemed too powerful by the gods who split it into separate elephants and snakes, though one original creature escaped into the depths of Earth. This ancient hybrid has silently witnessed the emergence of all other cryptids throughout history, its essence echoing in the DNA of mysterious creatures across every continent, making it the true progenitor of cryptozoological diversity.

The Timeless Grootslang possesses the ability to shed its skin and tusks across different regions, leaving behind fragments that evolve into regionally-specific cryptids, explaining the global diversity of mysterious creatures. It commands ancient earth magic that allows it to travel through underground rivers and cave systems, emerging in different parts of the world throughout history. Despite its massive physical form, it can become nearly imperceptible when still, emitting a frequency that disrupts human perception and creates the sense of being watched that many cryptid hunters report experiencing.

The Timeless Grootslang serves as the ancestral guardian of all cryptid knowledge, protecting the collective secrets of mysterious creatures while determining which humans are worthy of glimpsing the truth behind cryptozoological mysteries. It challenges disc golfers to prove their respect for cryptid lore through their play, occasionally revealing itself to those who demonstrate both skill and reverence for the ancient traditions it protects.
