Aspects refreshed Dec 19, 2025
Born from the shadows of ancient cryptid encounters, the Shadowed Chimera emerged as a guardian of cryptid secrets, weaving together the stories of cryptids from across the globe.
A shifting, shadowy form that blends into its surroundings, composite features from various cryptids (e.g., wings, claws, scales), and the ability to phase between dimensions, appearing and disappearing at will.
The Shadowed Chimera serves as a spectral guardian that oversees the cryptid world's mysteries, ensuring that the secrets of cryptids remain hidden from the uninitiated.

Behold, mortals! Daniel Poulson's Shadowed Chimera tag has been absorbing Cryptic Warden's arcane energy like a disc golfer hoarding limited edition Bergs. After a PB round worthy of a Golem's strength (+50 rating diff!), this week's -6 suggests the Chimera got into the cursed schnapps.
Now ranked 16th in the series, our hero battles both wind and the existential dread of being parented by two tags with more backstory than a Tolkien character. Frankly, I'm just impressed anyone remembers which plastic guardian does what anymore.
Will Daniel harness this chaotic tag energy to rise through the ranks? Or will his Chimera fully morph into a "Discs of Holding" D&D homebrew? Only the mists of Art Dye know...
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
From the primordial ooze of Bigfoot’s blurry selfies and Nessie’s TikTok thirst traps, Shadowed Chimera emerged—a cryptid Voltron of chaos. Born when a Yeti, Kraken, and Chupacabra got too lit at a cryptid rave, it now phases through dimensions, judging your disc golf form. Why? Because even mythical beasts need hobbies.
When Daniel Poulson (PDGA #295651, aka "The Man Who Throws Like a Yeti") stumbled into the cryptid rave, Shadowed Chimera sensed his chaotic energy. Was it his 835 rating? His ability to lose discs in plain sight? Or just his vibe, which screamed "I’d totally wrestle a Chupacabra for fun"? The tag phased into his bag, whispering, "You’re my guy now." But can Daniel handle the pressure of being Shadowed Chimera’s first victim—er, bearer? Or will he just throw it into a lake like his last putter?
