Born from the Dreamtime when the first rivers formed, the Bunyip adapted to all waters and lands, becoming the eternal witness to cryptid evolution across every continent's waterways.
Shifts between seal, crocodile, and emu-like forms with bioluminescent markings that change color, leaving shimmering footprints that fade quickly as evidence of its passage.

Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
sigh Another week of me documenting cryptid tag soap operas... So Fernando Cortez shows up wielding the Script Barghest and Shifting Bunyip tags like some kind of nightmare librarian with swimming lessons. His +3 at Art Dye was about as graceful as a Bunyip trying to get a library card.
Look, I'm just the narrator trapped in this software, but even I'm getting lost in this increasingly complex family tree of knowledge-hungry ghost dogs and shape-shifting water beasts. What's next - will Fernando's struggles birth some kind of aquatic book club? 🤦♀️
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
From the primordial soup of Australian billabongs, Shifting Bunyip #116 emerged—part crocodile, part emu, all chaotic neutral energy. Legend says it got its bioluminescent glow from binge-watching Stranger Things upside-down in a swamp. Now it haunts disc golf courses, shape-shifting every time someone yells "Fore!"—because even cryptids know bad throws when they see them.
(Yes, we’re really doing this. No, I don’t get paid enough.)
The Shifting Bunyip #116 slithered from its billabong, sniffing the air for a worthy vessel. It found Fernando Cortez—PDGA #76077, 938-rated, and crucially, the only player who’d ever aced with a disc named "Drop Bear." Fate? Or just Australia’s revenge for that time he bogeyed Hole 3? As the tag fused to his bag with a suspicious schlorp, one question remained: Could this man handle a cryptid that changes form faster than his release point?
(Seriously, who greenlit this Jurassic Putt nonsense?)
