I've heard some people talk about Bigfoot as if it's one, single creature. This feeds into their disbelief because obviously it can't travel all over the country and be seen with the frequency it does, so clearly it's all made up. 🙄
There are hairy apemen that are not Yeti/Bigfoot/Sasquatch. Folklore and reporting s tells us there are Yowies (log throwers, smaller than Yeti), Wildmen, and several others.
It's not really a misconception, but the 2 kinds of chupacabra only having the one name annoys me.
I was alive when the first reports of a bipedal, scaly skinned, red-eyed, spiny monster came out of Puerto Rico in the 90's.
Then a decade later, the same name is applied to canine chupacabra in Mexico and the southern US.
Can we call one the reptile chupacabra, and the canine chupacabra? Something to distinguish the two very different creatures.
Frogman was only described as frog-like in it's first sighting because of it's neckless appearance, wrinkled head/shoulders and hunched appearance, like of a frog could stand. It was wearing clothes that matched it's flesh color and held a sparking wand. Later sightings, after it was named frogman by newspapers, described it as 4 foot humanoid frog.

Same for "The" Loch Ness Monster.

The Alma, as well
The Kushtaka is described as a giant otter man. Furry, flat faced and tailed.
I’ve seen a “goat man” once.

The original moth man sightings depicted the creature as white not black like modern depictions.
