A cryptid that originated from a movie, TV show, or some work of fiction but has morphed into an allegedly real creature over the years. Coined by Blake Smith of the Monster Talk podcast.
The chupacabra is a scriptid. It is obviously based on the creature from the movie Species…it was first reported right after the movie came out in Puerto Rico.
