prettygoodwordcryptid - n., an animal that may or may not exist.
Such as Nessie of Loch Ness. Or perhaps a better phrasing would be animal whose existence has not yet been proven. The study of, and search for, cryptids is the field of cryptozoology. Coined in 1983 by John E. Wall from Greek kryptos, hidden.
