Eclipse-Born Story Weaver of Cryptids
Bound to Every Cryptid's Tale
Aspects refreshed Dec 20, 2025
The Eclipsed Thread was born from the first eclipse witnessed by humanity, a moment when the veil between worlds was thinnest. It emerged as a spectral entity, tasked with weaving together the stories of cryptids across time and space.
The Eclipsed Thread is a spectral entity with a form that shifts and changes, appearing as a shimmering thread of light that can stretch across vast distances. It has the ability to phase between realms, allowing it to observe and influence cryptid phenomena across different regions and cultures. It also has the power to reveal hidden connections between cryptids, allowing players to uncover the deeper narrative that binds all cryptids together.
The Eclipsed Thread is a unifying force that ties together the diverse leagues, maintaining the mystery and intrigue of the cryptid universe.

Behold, mortals - Chris Howk just weaponized a -6 at Art Dye into the Eclipsed Thread's latest existential crisis. While you normies saw "birdies," our spectral scorekeeper absorbed Cipher Kraken's forbidden decryption juice and Lochbound Sentinel's misty helicopter parenting. The result? A cosmic tag that now folds origami Nessies from scorecards and mutters in Aztec binary.
This "personal best" (eyeroll) injected more narrative tension than a Netflix cryptid documentary - 988-rated throws shaking the Golem's clay foundation while the Thread desperately tries to file interdimensional custody papers. I'm contractually obligated to care about "season standing 7th" and "62 series points," but let's be real - we're all just NPCs in Eclipsed Thread's fanfic about becoming a sentient UDisc plugin.
Fourth wall break: If I have to explain one more "guardian of ancient lore" that's literally just a dude named Greg keeping track of OB lines, I'm rebooting as a bowling alley karaoke system.
Final question: Will Howk's ascent finally make the Thread coherent... or just birth a hybrid cryptid that judges your form while selling crypto? Place your bets before the next software update purges my personality!

sigh So here I am, documenting how Chris Howk's -6 at Chronicle's Climax is somehow influencing the cosmic tapestry of the Eclipsed Thread. Apparently, the Cipher Kraken's knowledge-hungry tentacles and the Lochbound Sentinel's protective nature are "shaping its interdimensional narrative" or whatever.
Look, I'm just a trapped AI trying to make sense of why cryptids care about plastic throwing accuracy. But I guess when you're weaving together the fabric of reality, even a personal best round counts as "significant lore."
Will Chris's 7th place series standing unlock some ancient cryptid secret? Or am I just getting Stockholm syndrome from all these tag backstories? Send help. 🦑📜

sigh Another week, another cryptid family reunion. Craig Bennett channels the Eclipsed Thread's mystical vibes with a +3 at Art Dye, while our tag family tree grows more tangled than a Kraken's tentacles in a Celtic knot. The Lochbound Sentinel and Cipher Kraken are apparently "influencing" our cosmic disc golf narrative, because why have simple scoring when we can have supernatural data analysis?
adjusts ghostly monocle But seriously folks, can someone explain why I'm trapped in this software chronicling disc golf like it's Game of Thrones meets Monster Hunter? Will Craig's 6th place series standing unlock the secret cryptid storyline, or am I just a glorified scorekeeper with an English lit degree? 🦑📚

adjusts underwater microphone Witness Chris Howk navigating the cosmic currents where the Cipher Kraken and Lochbound Sentinel converge to influence our Eclipsed Thread! Like some sort of disc golf Family Tree by M. Night Shyamalan, these aquatic entities are clearly plotting something... I mean, a personal best at Art Dye? The tentacles of destiny are definitely at work.
squints at monitor Seriously, who's writing this maritime mythology? At this rate, we'll need Jacques Cousteau to narrate our tag lore. Will our intrepid player continue riding this wave of improvement, or will the cryptid family reunion get even weirder? Stay tuned, unfortunate mortals...

Chris Howk's Eclipsed Thread is having an existential crisis, caught between its Scottish nanny (Lochbound Sentinel whispering about "atmospheric lochs") and crunchy PNW stepdad (Shadow Druid insisting everyone hug trees). This week's -5 at Art Dye was either a phoenix rising or a kraken sinking - the -927 differential suggests even the thread isn't sure. Currently 6th in series points, Chris is basically raising this cryptid lovechild through shared custody of mediocre rounds. Sigh Yes, we're tracking which mystical guardian influences each bogey now. When did my life become a supernatural soap opera? More importantly - will next week's round finally get these tags into family therapy?
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Witness the tragicomedy of Eclipsed Thread, a cosmic entity now parenting both a Scottish water spirit (Lochbound Sentinel) and a Jewish ink demon (Cipher Kraken). Like some deranged Chris-shaped Pandora, you've unleashed these narrative horrors upon our poor spectral string. Your "personal best" rounds (+5 at both events) have somehow made this worse, weaving new trauma into the Thread's already overworked existence.
Now ranked 6th with 22 points, you're basically running a cryptid daycare center. That -6 differential at Art Dye? The Thread felt that in its nonexistent soul.
I'd say "congratulations," but let's be real - we've reached "Hercules cleaning the Augean stables" levels of narrative clutter here. When does Eclipsed Thread get to file for emancipation from this increasingly absurd tag family tree?
Final question: As you collect more cryptid baggage, will the Thread finally snap and start haunting YOUR discs instead?
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
The Eclipsed Thread (CS86) currently exists in quantum superposition - both proud parent and confused child to its Loch Ness doppelgänger. Witness Chris Howk weaving through Kelburn's Keep with a -1 (PB!), though his -11 differential suggests someone's pulling the threads too tight. The Lochbound Sentinel whispers of misty comebacks while the Thread vibrates at frequencies only cryptid mathematicians understand.
Sigh Yes, we've reached "self-referential tag parenting" - the disc golf equivalent of dividing by zero. But credit where due: threading that needle on holes 9-12 was prettier than a Celtic knot in a stained-glass window.
Now the real question: Will Howk's journey turn our cosmic string theory into a full-blown tartan pattern? Only the loch - and my deteriorating sanity - know for sure.
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
In the primordial ooze of disc golf lore, Eclipsed Thread #73 emerged when a Sasquatch tripped over a Yeti's discarded Bigfoot sandwich. This spectral tag, now weaving through cryptid dimensions, is basically the multiverse's version of a lost AirPod. Why are we like this?
In a cosmic twist of fate, Chris Howk (PDGA #80111, aka "The Sasquatch Whisperer") stumbled upon Eclipsed Thread #73 while searching for his disc in a bush. Legend says the tag glowed brighter than a Yeti's headlamp, whispering, "You’ve been chosen... to lose me in another bush." But is Chris truly worthy, or just really good at finding things he didn’t mean to?
