Welcome to What The Heck's Creature Feature! These episodes release on Saturdays and look at folklore and cryptids from around the world! The same academic style is applied to these episodes, but they look at history and eyewitness reports before describing the creature of the week! A lot of the time, theories are a bit more scarce than the main episodes, but the content is still just as interesting.

This week we're looking at Wolpertingers. Found in the forests off Bavaria, these German creatures are the stuff of legend. Caused by the union of different species, they all look different. They appear as taxidermies in the area, and there's an exhibit in a German museum. What are the legends? How do you find or catch one? What are they like? Listen in to find out!
