Easter Eggs/cameos
There has been references to other shows. For example...


 * In TBD, Chupacabra was seen talking to an earthworm with a spacesuit and three cats who resemble Jim from Earthworm Jim and Mr. Blik, Gordon Quid and Waffle from Catscratch, which was a reference Doug TenNapel's previous works.
 * In Eat Your Vegetables, there was a flashback where Alien tried to feed Mothman (who refuses due to him lacking a mouth) a garnet, an amethyst, a pearl and an overweight kid who looks similar to Steven, making a Steven Universe reference.

Trivia

 * Most episodes are TV-Y7, but some episodes are TV-PG
 * The origins (in real life) of The Cryptids started within GoAnimate in late 2013. The original GoAnimate version had two creepypasta characters, not cryptids, within the gang, making it 7. They were Slenderman and The Rake. These two, however, were cut from this version due to not actually being cryptids.
 * The Cryptids has a console game called The Cryptids: The Game
 * The Cryptids' setting is in the Pacific Northwest.
 * The Cryptids is having a movie set to be released on November 30, 2025 called The Cryptids: The Movie
 * Albino Bigfoot and Albino Nessie were originally going to be main characters added in Seasons 2 and 3. However, when he thought about it, he started to fear that if he adds them as main characters, they would end up unused in other media after the series ended like Scrappy-Doo from Scooby-Doo, Britney from Totally Spies, Vinny from Family Guy or Sparky and Chloe from The Fairly OddParents, so he scrapped the idea of them being main characters and instead made them supporting characters.
 * In real life, Kasai Rex is actually a hoax created by John Johnson.
 * According to Doug, Nessie is the oldest of the gang while Alien is the youngest.
