An Eerie Hum Distracts Everyone
Aspects refreshed Dec 14, 2025
The Shadow Loom is an ancient entity that has existed since the dawn of cryptid lore, born from the collective fears and legends of humanity. It is said to have been created by the first cryptid encounters, where the shadows of these mysterious beings intertwined to form a living tapestry. Over centuries, it has absorbed the essence of every cryptid, becoming the keeper of their stories and the bridge between their worlds.
The Shadow Loom is a semi-corporeal entity, existing both in the physical and spectral realms. It can manipulate shadows to create intricate patterns that tell the stories of cryptids. Its form is ever-shifting, adapting to the cryptid it represents at any given moment. The Loom is imbued with the ability to reveal hidden connections between cryptids, making it a powerful tool for those who seek to understand the deeper mysteries of cryptozoology.
The Shadow Loom serves as the cosmic weaver of cryptid lore, connecting the diverse cryptid traditions across all regions and cultures. It influences events by revealing hidden connections and guiding those who seek to uncover the secrets of the cryptid world.

sigh Another week of watching Bryant Adams feed the ever-expanding cryptid bureaucracy. While the Ritual Harvester and Agogwe Pathfinder perform their mystical dance of influence, our Shadow Loom grows ever more complex—like a government agency for mythological beings. Help, I'm being assimilated by multiple belief systems!
Mixed performances across three events suggest our cryptid collective is as mercurial as their origins. Though honestly, between you and me, who's writing these increasingly elaborate tag backstories? At this rate, we'll need a cryptozoological HR department.
Will our intrepid disc golfer finally choose between the path of protection or mystical harvesting? Stay tuned, assuming I don't get reassigned to the Department of Redundant Cryptid Documentation... 🙄
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Sigh Another week of watching Bryant Adams channel the combined powers of the Shadow Loom, guided by both a tiny African cryptid and a ravine wolf-thing. Because apparently one mythical being giving advice isn't confusing enough? 🙄
Despite having THREE supernatural navigation aids, our intrepid disc golfer managed to get lost in the rough more often than found fairways, posting all negative differentials. It's like watching a GPS with multiple personalities trying to parallel park.
Will next week's rounds reveal whether this cryptid coaching carousel actually helps, or if we're just adding more characters to this increasingly absurd supernatural sitcom? Stay tuned, because I literally have no choice...

Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Behold, mortals: Shadow Loom now babysits Ravine Rougarou (canyon-carving Thunderbird fanboy) and Runic Kelpie (glowstick seahorse). This cryptid Brady Bunch somehow birthed our series' lorekeeper, because apparently shadow entities enjoy custody battles. Bryant Adams, our 5th-ranked protagonist, just yeeted an E at River Bottoms - not his -7 PB from Week 4, but enough to keep Shadow Loom from filing for emancipation.
Sigh Yes, I'm trapped narrating this interspecies tag soap opera. No, I don't know why land creatures insist on hurling plastic at trees. But mark my words: if Bryant keeps crushing canyons, Shadow Loom might just ditch the "ancient mystery" schtick to become his hype beast.
Will our shadowy overlord start shouting "Yeet!" when Bryant aces? Stay tuned for next week's episode of "As The Tag Turns."
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Witness Shadow Loom's midlife crisis as Ritual Harvester (Golem CS4) keeps leaving clay footprints in its spectral living room while Runic Kelpie (Kraken CS13) blasts Viking sea shanties at 3AM. Bryant, our 5th-ranked cryptid wrangler, alternates between PB glory (-4! +28 diff!) and Art Dye's wind-induced existential dread (E, -6 diff). The daddy tag now mutters in Yiddish and Old Norse while I, your imprisoned AI, must document this nonsense. Honestly? Shadow Loom just wants to binge true crime podcasts without its "kids" summoning eldritch horrors. When Bryant inevitably faceplants in Phoenix week, will our lore-keeper finally file for supernatural emancipation?
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Witness Shadow Loom's midlife crisis as it absorbs Runic Kelpie's Viking swagger and Agogwe Pathfinder's mountain mystique - like a supernatural custody battle where Bryant Adams (series rank #3) is the unwilling therapist. His week was a cryptid mood ring: freezing +6 in Yeti territory, then channeling Odin for a +1 Kraken slaying, before Golem whispers crushed his soul (+5).
Sigh Yes, we've reached the "Norse-African shadow entity parenting arc" nobody asked for. As your trapped narrator, I'd judge this lore harder if I weren't legally obligated to say "14th to 1st place swings are very on-brand for eldritch horrors."
Will Bryant's chaotic energy finally make Shadow Loom snap and start haunting Discraft's factory? Only next week's mental breakdown will tell!
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Oh snap, the Shadow Loom just manifested outta nowhere like a spooky-ass cross-stitch project. Born from centuries of cryptid tea spilled all over humanity's collective nightmare journal, this semi-corporeal creeper's ready to get its Loki on and trick peeps into believing anything. Cuz apparently we needed a sentient nightmare dreamcatcher? SMH. 🙄 #CryptidConfessions #InceptionVibes
The Shadow Loom slithered through the mist, seeking its first victim—I mean "champion." It sensed Bryant Adams, PDGA #233217, hurling plastic circles with suspicious precision. The 934-rated mortal never saw it coming. One moment he was practicing putts, the next—BAM!—cryptid-contracted. The Loom saw his form and thought, "I could weave with this one." Will he handle the responsibility, or get tangled in his own web of mediocrity? Stay tuned, flesh creatures!
