This template is used to create infoboxes for cryptids and mysterious entities from folklore, mythology, and eyewitness reports. It's especially useful for creatures with unconfirmed biological classification.

{{Lua|Module:Autocryptidbox}}{{clear}}
{{Automatic_taxobox/doc/nav/boxed}}

== Usage ==
This template works similarly to {{tl|Automatic taxobox}}, but with fields tailored for cryptids and enigmatic lifeforms. It can be used in articles that explore the cultural, speculative, or historical details of mysterious species, often outside traditional taxonomy.
