The Squonk is a small cryptid (roughly the size of an adolescent pig), who is most widely known for two of its qualities:
Firstly, what you will likely notice before anything else, is the crying.
The Squonk cries constantly, to the point of leaving puddles that become a more reliable method of tracking the creature than footprints.
Truly, the saddest element is Squonk's reason for its constant weeping, which is its "ugliness."
The Squonk cries because of its ugliness and the treatment it has received because of it.
Aside from this seeming understanding of beauty standards, the Squonk is usually described with an animal-level of intelligence.
It bears no particular malice or harm towards humans or anything else, as far as we know.
It prefers to run away from any human contact, explaining the few witness accounts of the creature.
If you should ever encounter a Squonk, which is most often found in the hemlock forests of Pennsylvania, please, treat it with kindness.
