Sure thing, I’ve seen that trick in the wild. I like to hide the cryptid behind a fake safe zone—like a cozy campfire or a quiet library. Then, when the player thinks they’re done, the creature bursts out with a roar that’s half‑cackling, half‑terrifying. The key is to give it a unique attack pattern that plays off its myth: maybe it summons mist that turns enemies into statues, or it uses a bone‑sling that looks like a joke turned deadly. That way, the moment feels earned and totally unexpected.
