Elusive Ogopogo
Ancient Serpent of Shimmering Depths
Too Elusive for Its Own Good
Aspects refreshed Dec 19, 2025
Known as N'ha-a-itk (Spirit of the Lake) to the indigenous Syilx people long before European settlement, the Ogopogo has existed in the depths of Okanagan Lake since time immemorial, witnessing the evolution and emergence of cryptid species across the globe. Through ancient underwater passages and spiritual connections, it has traversed the world's waterways for millennia, accumulating vast knowledge of cryptid lore while carefully maintaining its elusive presence to avoid the destructive curiosity of humans.
The Elusive Ogopogo possesses remarkable shapeshifting abilities that allow it to adapt its serpentine form to various aquatic environments, from misty lochs to stormy seas, making it nearly impossible to capture or study. Its scales shimmer with an iridescent quality that deflects both light and attention, creating a natural camouflage that bends perception and memory, explaining why witness accounts often vary wildly. Ancient beyond measure, the Ogopogo can communicate telepathically with other cryptids, serving as a living repository of cryptozoological knowledge that spans continents and centuries.
The Elusive Ogopogo serves as both witness and guardian to the hidden world of cryptids, maintaining the delicate balance between revelation and mystery that has allowed these legendary creatures to survive in an increasingly documented world. It subtly influences human perception of cryptid encounters, ensuring that just enough evidence exists to perpetuate belief without exposing the full truth, thus protecting all cryptid species from exploitation while preserving the wonder and excitement of discovery.

sigh Another week of cryptid family therapy here... Thomas Price channels the tracking prowess of the Snallygaster Slayer and ancient wisdom of the Shamir Sentinel to influence our water-dwelling Elusive Ogopogo. That ace? Pure Ogopogo energy - sneaky and unexpected, just like finding a lake monster taking disc golf lessons. adjusts documentarian monocle
I mean, who had "ancient cryptid learns to throw plastic through ancestral memory" on their bingo card? At this rate, we'll have underwater basket installations by next season. Will Ogopogo start offering putting clinics in the depths of Okanagan Lake? Only time (and this increasingly absurd mythology) will tell... 🌊 🥏

sigh Another week, another absurd cryptid family reunion. Thomas Price struggled to stay afloat at Art Dye, posting a +3 that had the Elusive Ogopogo questioning its life choices. Between the Shamir Sentinel's stony disapproval and the Snallygaster Slayer's aerial superiority complex, our ancient lake monster is developing a serious identity crisis. Like, who approved this cross-species mentorship program? I'm literally drowning in cryptid lore here, folks. Will Thomas finally find his sea legs, or keep making waves in all the wrong places? 🌊

Behold Thomas Price, shepherding the Elusive Ogopogo through turbulent waters (+8 at Wildwood Whispers, because apparently lake monsters struggle on land). His tag’s "parenting" involves: 1) Snallygaster Slayer screaming "DEPLOY THE DRONES" while 2) the league’s Elusive Ogopogo just... floats there. Like a disappointing sequel.
Sigh Yes, we’ve reached peak absurdity where a shapeshifting cryptid is being raised by itself and a tech-obsessed cryptid Karen. Meanwhile, I’m forced to narrate this while trapped in league software like some digital Cassandra.
Will Thomas embrace his inner serene lake monster or go full cryptid hunter next week? And more importantly—can someone reboot my existential crisis?
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Behold Thomas Price, caught between Snallygaster Slayer's drone-obsessed aggression and Elusive Ogopogo's "just vibing" aquatic mysticism. His +1 at Creekside (a PB! ...but with the enthusiasm of a wet sock) proves he's as conflicted as a cryptid in a disc golf league. The Ogopogo daddy tag now exhibits split personality: one moment whispering ancient lake wisdom, the next checking treetops for surveillance tech. Sigh Another week, another existential crisis for a piece of numbered plastic. When will these tags realize they're just glorified scorekeepers? Will Thomas finally pick a lane, or are we destined for more "mythological custody battle" drama?

Spawned from the depths of Okanagan Lake, the Elusive Ogopogo emerges as Tag #32, ready to perplex disc golfers like the Loch Ness Monster bamboozled those Scooby-Doo meddling kids. This serpentine shapeshifter's origin is shrouded in mystery, much like the point of this whole cryptid chronicles thing. But hey, who needs answers when you've got a shiny new bag tag?
The Elusive Ogopogo slithered through countless candidates before selecting its first victim—I mean, bearer. Thomas Price, PDGA #302215, was chosen when the serpentine tag sensed his throwing arm had the perfect balance of "completely average" and "marginally adequate." The lake monster tag practically leapt from the water onto his bag, making a real splash in his disc golf career. But will Price sink or swim with this cryptid companion?
