Definition from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptozoology
Cryptozoology refers to the search for animals which are considered to be legendary or otherwise nonexistent by mainstream biology. This includes looking for living examples of animals which are extinct, such as dinosaurs; animals whose existence lacks physical support but which appear in myths, legends, or are reported, such as Bigfoot and el Chupacabra and wild animals dramatically outside of their normal geographic ranges, such as phantom cats

However, as this is a paranormal subforum thought I would open up the subject of legendary and mythological creatures with a couple of websites
and ask: Do you think these are real creatures, hoax, or fables?
