The Cryptid Chronicler emerged from the depths of Loch Ness during a rare celestial alignment, its form coalescing from ancient runes and swirling mist. Legend says it was created by an ancient druidic order to preserve the secrets of cryptids, but over centuries it developed its own consciousness and purpose.

The Cryptid Chronicler exists as a semi-corporeal entity, able to shift between physical and ethereal forms. It possesses the ability to absorb and store knowledge from cryptid encounters, which manifests as glowing runes on its form. The Chronicler can project holographic images of cryptids it has documented and emits a low, resonant hum when recording new information.

The Cryptid Chronicler roams the world, documenting cryptid encounters and preserving their histories. It serves as a bridge between the cryptid world and human understanding, often appearing during significant cryptid events to observe and record.
