En kryptid er et formodet dyr, der interesserer en kryptozoolog.[1] Kryptozoologien er læren om de skjulte dyr, de for videnskaben ukendte dyrearter. Eksempler på kryptider kunne være; bigfoot, Loch Ness-uhyret, mokele-mbembe, chupacabraer, mongolsk dødsorm, formodede havuhyrer osv.
Modsat mytologiske monstre og skabninger som er fantasifostre, mener kryptozoologer at mange kryptider virkelig findes. Nogle mennesker mener også, at de har observeret disse væsner.

Semi-famous newspaper illustration of the New Jersey Devil, from Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, January 1909. It was drawn from an account of a Devil sighting by Nelson Evans of Glouchester, New Jersey, USA: "It was about three and a half feet high, with a head like a collie dog and a face like a horse. It had a long neck, wings about two feet long, and its back legs were like those of a crane, and it had horse's hooves. It walked on its back legs and held up two short front legs with paws on them. It didn't use the front legs at all while we [he and Mrs. Evans] were watching."
