MetaZoo, a trading card game inspired by cryptids and folklore, has released several core sets and expansions, each introducing unique themes and features. The inaugural set, "Cryptid Nation," launched in July 2021, showcases iconic American cryptids like Bigfoot and Mothman. Following this, "Nightfall" (October 2021) delved into darker themes, introducing Beasties such as the Headless Horseman and Wendigo. "Wilderness" (March 2022) shifted focus to forest-dwelling creatures, featuring entities like the Cumberland Dragon and the Skunk Ape. The "UFO" set (July 2022) explored extraterrestrial phenomena, adding alien-themed cards like the Flatwoods Monster and Men in Black. "Seance" (October 2022) centered on spiritual and occult themes, incorporating cards based on the Major Arcana of the Tarot and introducing Beasties like Black Aggie and the Ghosts of the Sloss Furnaces. In April 2023, "Native" paid homage to indigenous American folklore, featuring Beasties such as the Uktena and the Wendigo. Each expansion not only broadens the game's roster of Beasties but also introduces new gameplay mechanics and thematic elements, enhancing the overall MetaZoo experience.
