Out of concern that our Myth List page is constantly out of date as we are constantly uncovering new legends in the grand mythos of Wisconsin, hereafter is just the list of all mythical creatures with no descriptions. Everything that appears here will one day be included on the Myth List and the iceberg image on the main page, but this page will be easier to maintain than those more detailed pages.

The sources of this list are identical to the sources on the Myth List page (which is kept more up-to-date than the rest of that page).
