Cobriza

The Kings Island Cobriza is a long-lasting urban legend involving an upright humanoid creature living in the theme park Kings Island in Mason Ohio. measuring approximately 2.38 meters in height. It supposedly shows very little muscle mass, and extremely long arms, thought to be 1.524 meters each. Some people who claim to have seen it say it's jaw can open to five times the normal of an average human. Although everyone seems to agree on one thing, its head is very reptile like, appearing like a snake, or even a crocodile. It's thought to wander the park after dark, and that you can always tell that you saw him, because its eyes glow a haunting blue at night. It also appears based on sightings that it hides in the dark, and that people see it all over Flight of Fear, the Mystic Timbers Shed, and the tunnels of the roller coasters. Before dark, it's thought to wander in a series of connected tunnels that go all around the park. (Which were actually found, and very much exist.)

Appearence
The creature is described to be between 7 and 10 feet tall. It is thought to have long arms that drag along with it's grossly out of proportion legs. It's thought to look very human-like with scales covering it's body, and it's eyes glow an eerie blue at night. It's fingers are very long as well. Evidence commonly presented for the existence of the humanoid consists mainly of eyewitness information, or photographic and video evidence. Like with most cryptids, the scientific community currently doesn't recognized Omnimorphs (A given name for Cobriza's species) as a legitimate species.

Story
The story of Cobriza has been passed down for generations. There are many viewpoints on the creature's origins. All the origin stories popular in the Ohio area will be listed by the end of citation.

Theory One

Long ago, in the 1800s', a neighborhood was stalked by a vicious entity that came from another dimension. The town was constantly stalked by this creature, and they wanted it gone. It was bloodthirsty, it stole their crops, and it was mischievous. So, they dug a series of tunnels, and trapped the creature underneath it. Over 100 years later, 1972, Kings Island opened where the town once lied. So now, the interdimensional Cobriza wanders the dark tunnels all day, and stalks park visitors all night. Scientists captured it one day, which lead to the eventual venture into Cobriza's dimension. Another of Cobriza's species (The Omnimorphs) where captured, and they reproduced. Since then, millions of Omnimorphs have been found all throughout the USA. Still, the escaped Cobriza, the Alpha Male, living in a theme park, will always be viewed as the most deadly of them all. Opinions will definitely vary on whether or not there's more than one Cobriza.

Theory Two

Cobriza is an alien who appears as a bad omen, or a warning to our planet that something horrible is going to happen to someone close to you, or you yourself. "If you see him at the park, god help you." Says a Reddit post.

Theory Three (Least Popular)

Cobriza is the ghost of a dead employee at the park, particularly the one who designed the record breaking Beast roller coaster. He was fired, and now wants revenge. He shows himself to scare children, in attempt to close the park.

Theory Four

Cobriza is a human named Jacob Thompson with advanced abilities. He enjoys tormenting humans, and is pure evil. He is so corrupted with power that he's barely recognizable as a human anymore.

Theory Five

Cobriza is a hallucination image that appears when we break reality. Common beliefs suggest if simulation theory is true, Cobriza keeps us from seeing "glitches."
