From time immemorial, humanity has fought for its survival against the myriad beasts and

animals with which we share this planet.

And while creatures known to us have challenged our existence, there are those creatures

unseen, unstudied, unknown, which have proven to be our biggest threat.

Now brace yourself as you encounter the creature known throughout history as the Moon Crawler.

Greetings, sleepless listeners, and welcome to the No Sleep Podcast.

I'm your host, David Cummings.

This is the first in a four-part series we're calling Tales of the Moon Crawler.

In this short series we're going to delve into the world of cryptids.

Acrypted is defined as a creature that has been claimed to exist but never proven to

exist.

And while cryptids don't technically have to be mythical or supernatural, in literature

they usually have characteristics which make them beings you don't want to encounter

on a dark night, or even on a bright sunny day for that matter.

Humanity might consider itself to be at the top of the food chain, but in the world of

cryptids we can often find ourselves being nothing more than a tasty snack.

The main tales in this series will feature stories about the cryptid known as the Moon Crawler.

Writer and Aresot's cryptosuologist, Manin Lysette is the one who has postulated the existence

of this creature, and as we'll learn, the Moon Crawler has been praying on humanity

from prehistoric times all the way up to present day.

And it's over the span of these many millennia that we will encounter this cryptid thanks to

the records of those who had the misfortune of encountering this beast.
