From the Bear Conservation: "A fourth subspecies, Bergman’s bear (Ursus arctos piscator) is an alleged and, if it ever existed, probably extinct subspecies of in the Russian Kamchatka Peninsula. It was proposed and named by the Swedish zoologist Sten Bergman in 1920. He determined that the bear was a separate subspecies after examining a hide (which had fur very different from other bears in the locality) and a series of footprints, measuring 14.5 X 10 inches (34 X 25 cm) he believed indicated a bear much larger than the Kamchatka brown bear (Ursus arctos beringianus)."
It might be a book from Sten in 1920... I just need to find the book to check out the figures that the Bear Conservation presented. If so, this might be the biggest bear on record.

Judging by the pic at reply #19, it would definitely be although this is most likely still a cryptid/unconfirmed bear.

Mothman
In West Virginia folklore, the Mothman is a humanoid creature reportedly seen in the Point Pleasant area from November 15, 1966, to December 15, 1967. The first newspaper report was published in the Point Pleasant Register, dated November 16, 1966, titled "Couples See Man-Sized Bird ... Creature ... Something".[1] The national press soon picked up the reports and helped spread the story across the United States.

To be completely honest, this one is very intriguing to me for the simple fact that the zoologist (Sten Bergman) who examined the hide gave it a scientific name, Ursus arctos piscator.
BERGMAN'S BEAR
The Bergman Bear, Irkuiem, God Bear, or Ursus arctos piscator, is a possibly extinct bear cryptid native to Russia.
In 1920 Swedish zoologist Sten Bergman was given the opportunity to examine the hide of a giant, black furred variey of the Kamchatka pie bear. Bergman, who had spent two years studying the wildlife of the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia, noted that the pelt was far beyond the size of other bears found in the area.
Attributes
The Bergman's bear is a very large, short-furred bear with baggy, short hind legs. This earned it the name 'Irkuiem' or 'trousers pulled down'. It also has very large paws.
Sightings
1920
In 1920 Swedish zoologist Sten Bergman was given the opportunity to examine the hide of a giant, black furred variety of the Kamchatka bear. Bergman, who had spent two years studying the wildlife of the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia, noted that the pelt was far beyond the size of other bears found in the area. The hair covering the skin were short, in contrast with the long hair associated with normal bears of the Kamchatka Peninsula.
Bergman also described huge paw prints that he found in the area measuring 14.5 inches by 10 inches suggesting a monstrous bear he called Ursus arctos piscator, more commonly referred to as Bergman’s Bear.
Other
However, some suggest that Bergman’s Bear may be alive and well living in remote areas of Kamchatka. In Bears of the World, published in 1988, author Terry Domico observes that a vast majority of the Kamchatka Peninsula has been closed off since the cold war for military reasons.
A former Soviet official who had access to the area told Domico that black giant bears were still reported in the region.
Interest in the bear was revitalized in the 1960s. Hunter Rodion Sivolobov reported claims by Kamchatka natives of an unusually large bear they called either the Irkuiem (roughly meaning "trousers pulled down" due to the appearance of the bear's hind legs), or the "God bear" due to its large size.
allcryptid.fandom.com/wiki/Bergman_Bear One question: is it larger than polar bear and Kodiak?

It is generally described as being between 6 and 8 feet tall but some witnesses claim to have seen ones over ten feet tall. Like Bigfoot, it will quietly walk away when encountering humans. Explanations Some cryptozoologists have drawn a link between the Yeren and the extinct hominid Gigantopithecus, which formerly inhabited the general region. It has also been suggested that the Yeren is actually a new species of orangutan, one that is ground-dwelling, bipedal and native to mainland Asia instead of Borneo or Sumatra. non-aliencreatures.fandom.com/wiki/Yeren

The Yeren is suitable to enter a battle royale.

Did you knew that gorillas used to be cryptids? Sure:
4. Gorilla — I bet you didn’t expect to see gorillas on this list! In fact, most European explorers thought that gorillas were “monster-like.” The first attributed sighting of a gorilla by a non-African was made in the 5th century BC by Greek explorer Hanno. Most scientists today believe Hanno was describing either chimpanzees or baboons from his account. However, his interpreters called the creatures that he saw “gorillae” (interesting, right?).
Another explorer, Andrew Battel, recounted seeing human-like “monsters” visit his campfire every morning after he left for the day. Of course, he had to mention they didn’t know how to put more wood on the fire to keep it going. Yet, gorillas remained cryptids until 1847, when Thomas Savage found gorilla bones in Libera. He, alongside Harvard anatomist Jeffries Wyman, wrote a formal description of the new species, calling it Gorilla gorilla. A decade later, anthropologist Paul du Chaillu hunted live gorillas in order to obtain specimens to be analyzed. One gorilla species, the mountain gorilla (Gorilla beringei), stayed a cryptid until 1902, when German captain Robert von Berigne first identified one.
