Armed with her trusty recorder, an endless list of questions, and an unshakeable sense of curiosity, she’s determined to uncover the truth—one creature at a time.
Guided by her Nan, the legendary Dr. Pat McAllister—a vet for magical beings—Darcy is helping to update the ancient Creature Keeper Field Guides for the next generation. Along the way, she uncovers answers to age-old mysteries like:
🦷 Why do Tooth Fairies really collect teeth?
🧦 Where do all your missing socks actually go?
🌿 And why are Unicorns so hard to find?

In this episode of The Creature Detective, junior Creature Keeper Darcy McAllister braves icy mountaintops with her Nan to interview a real-life Northern Horned Mountain Dragon—who’s suffering from a very inconvenient case of sinus congestion.
But what Darcy discovers isn’t just fire and fangs. Archie, the chilli-loving dragon philosopher, reveals ancient wisdom, surprising dragon biology, and a centuries-old truth about the Great Forgetting—when humans stopped sharing with magical beings.
✨ Expect:
🐉 A fire-breathing sneeze incident
🌋 Dragon flight mechanics (and sulphur snacks)
🥵 A nearly catastrophic chilli chai moment
🛸 And the actual origin of UFO sightings
