Until someone can come up with some evidence that the latter is related to the former, I'm gonna separate these two.

==With 2 Legs?!== |
|||
Are we really doing this? Using grade school words due to the belief that too many people would not be able to grasp words like biped, quadruped, and miscellaneous? Look if we start to replace every word that isn't under a grade six reading level with another we'll surely see an even greater lack of creditability with all our articles. (Seriously, "with 2 legs" do you really think that even, "2 legged" is a bit too advance for us?!) That being said as a side note I should like to point out the spelling of Leprochaun is not a misspelling of Leprechaun; however, rather the spelling of its American variant (See [http://www.fearsomecreaturesofthelumberwoods.com . Pg.17, The Leprochaun . "Fearsome Creature of the Lumberwoods"]) |

This article is attracting too much uncited garbage for my tastes. I will be removing any examples that are uncited or not linked to their own articles, then going through the articles. - [[User:Mdsummermsw|Mdsummermsw]] ([[User talk:Mdsummermsw|talk]]) 18:40, 7 October 2008 (UTC) |

Tree-Squeak and other critters
[edit]@IsaacTheChristianCryptozoologist, please discuss your changes here. The list is for links to critters with their own articles, like a directory to the most prominent examples.
