Psyorb
I suppose one could think of Mystery Kreatures as my equivalent to "Legendaries", but I already have mythical beasts as normal Kreatures, so to set them apart I decided to make them cryptids instead. I also thought it would defy expectation if they were no more or less powerful than normal Kreatures. Anyway I think I might have subconsciously gotten the idea for Psyorb from "Ghostwriter", a kids show from the 90s.

Nobody knows what this mysterious and elusive Kreature actually looks like or where they come from. It emits psionic waves which scramble the senses, making its true form incomprehensible. Even cameras can only capture it as an illusionary, distorted glow when it doesn't fry them entirely. Sightings are associated with blackouts and other electronic disturbances. Otherwise it appears to be completely harmless, even shy, vanishing the moment it is seen. Psyorbs are most frequently sighted around caves, tunnels, storm drains, abandoned buildings and other "spooky" places; it's been hypothesized that they originate from deep underground and are drawn to locations that most closely resemble their original habitat.
