What animal, cryptid or sign would you use to represent Germans? Beware I'm a quarter. Dadadaddumdumdum.
I'm also German, but your being German wouldn't make any difference in my opinion of what animal or creature represents Germany. The Germany of the past, I'd compare to a bull. The present Germany is a sheep. The United States is definitely a lion, the king of the jungle. Canada is a Koala bear. Mexico and Central America are rats. Middle Eastern countries are foxes. Most African countries are tapeworms. Russia is a grizzly bear. The U.K. today is a domestic turkey.

Ha ha, Steve. Mexico and Central America are Chupacabras! I heard they have sightings in Canada now.
Germany is a pleisiosaur eating it's own tail.
The USA is Frankenstein! A arm here, a leg there, another piece from there. Perfect.

No, the people of Mexico and Central America have a lot more in common with rats than they do with Chupacabras.
The Frankenstein monster isn't an animal.

It doesn't have to be an animal, Jason.
It can be a creature or a monster like Frankenstein.
Aliens can be a sign too. The Greys could be a sign of the grey coats.

Victor Frankenstein wasn't a monster; he was a scientist who created a monster.
What are the "grey coats"?

I meant Frankenstein Monster.
Grey Coats are the Confederate Soldiers.

Grey Coats are the Confederate Soldiers.
So omen can be good as well as bad? Confederate soldiers are positive, not negative.

I support an old theory on strange creatures that appear out of nowhere. They are signs or omen. They're a sign or a message. Sometimes they're a omen or a portent, usually something bad or negative. Just like a ghost from the civil war might be lingering negative energy from the past to remind us of what happened and what may happen again. It doesn't matter if the "creature" is natural, supernatural, alien or earthly. It could just be a freak of nature, not just a cryptid or a visitor. The question is what does it mean? The answer could be in the form (half human, winged) or the color (red Yetis) , or something else in the appearance. I like to try to guess what they mean. I think all these things, good or evil, appear for a reason and their appearance has to be controlled by the divine ultimately. So there has to be a reason it happened.
What about all of the clown sightings in 2016. What kind of omen were they? whatliesbeyond.boards.net/thread/5832/12th-update-clown-madness-2016

Clowns represent humanity for lack of a better word.
They don't bother me. Clowns, that is. I'm from the Red Skelton era. I was thinking about going out myself.
I'll check to see what Google search has to say about it. But to me, they represent a return to human expression. That could be a good omen or a bad omen or both.

No disrespect, but I'm sure that we all know what Google search has to say about it.

I'm reading the book Tracking the Chupacabra by a writer for Skeptical Inquiry and he says the creature is an Hispanic psychological representation of the United States. It was created from a fertile soil of legends of white vampires sucking the life out of people and their livelihood. He doesn't believe anyone saw anything strange that can't be explained away by science.
Debunking doesn't get to the issue. But maybe the original version, real sighting of a real omen, a kangaroo grey alien with spikes, did represent the US gringos. But the new one doesn't.

I'm interested in cryptids, so I've done a little research on the Chupacabra. What I read is that it may have started from the vampire bat attacks in Latin and South America, but instead of a bat, it's some kind of 2-legged or 4-legged animal. Another theory is that it was some kind of alien pet left behind by the extraterrestrial visitors called the greys.

That's interesting, Sam.
This guy Benjamin Radford has the same idea about vampire bats, plus dogs and coyotes. He says canines puncture the throat of goats and sheep and let the prey suffocate and bleed internally so the blood settles down in their lower abdomen, and gravity also takes control when the blood pressure goes to zero at death, making them look drained. Good theory but it doesn't explain away the "grey pet" anymore than it explains away all grey sightings.
