Jersey Devil
This design is quite well done, it represents the creature well. For a few suggestions I would bring in some darker brown tones, perhaps as the base of the g1. I think the wings could also be moved a tad more to a red-gray, this will allow it to blend with the other colors better. I think all of the browns could also be made a tad grayer and moved down towards the red spectrum of things, for me personally I find makings browns more red toned usually leave to a nicer tone to the eye. Overall good design, keep of the nice work :)
Mothman
With your mothman design I also quite like it an the qitari is a unique and well done choice. For this design I would make the blues more grey toned for example this is my Mothman design I made a while ago. As with the above I would go with grey toned reds, it adds to the scare factor. For a design like this I could suggest doing that. Other then that I would suggest just adding a bit more contrast and maybe some white tones, as described in some of the original reports.

Kraken
With this design I think you could draw away from the blues and move more towards a sea green, if you add some of these into the design and some more contrast I think you could be led towards an even better design. Your design currently doesn't have much color contrast so adding some more variations in the highlights and shades of the design would really help lead you toward an even more successful design.
British Big Cats
With this design since you don't have much to work with I still have some suggestions. I would up the saturation in the eyes a bit for a pop. I could also suggest even darkening the base to around #0E0E0F. I could suggest adding Spring Blossoms and adding some color to the Nebula Dust, this would help your design have some more color and excitement in it.

Ozark Howler
With this design I think you could make either the base body or tundra fur even dark and closer to a black color. With this design (as i've done some research on it) it supposedly has glowing red eyes in may reports. I suggest adding in the deep red glow reported somewhere in the design - though this is only a suggestion and I think your design holdup well without it.

Cactus Cat
I love this design. For this I could suggest adding in some lighter greens and some yellows. Although not shown in the reference photo. For many cacti there are great variation in colors. The cactus in front of my house is a very pale green with bright yellow flowers. For this design you could add in some yellows for flowers, as I have read that flowers can be seen on some cacti cats.
Amarok
I love this design. I adore it. I wouldn't change anything except maybe show the pale blue a tad more? The only other issue I can see is that this could maybe be only considered folklore and not a cryptid.
Fresno Nightcrawler
For this design I think you used a tad to many dark colors. The Fresno Nightcrawler is described as a white creature, with only the dark eyes (if they even have them). So though I like your design I think you could lighten some of those dark tones and maybe remove what I think is Cosmos Runes as it muddies the design and adds a tad to many darker tones in my opinion.

Dobhar-Chu
With this design I quite like, all I would really suggest is changing the runes color or change the runes themselves. Runes on many species don't do well with dark creatures and something like pollen markings could work better with a darker color. If you want to use some more of the glowy runes I could suggest adding in some of those blue-green tones seen in the wings. Overall nice job :)
Appalachian Black Panther
While quite a fan of this design it is a bit simple. I could suggest adding in leg fur for a bit of 'glam' to the design and add a bit more excitement. You could also add in some darker toned g1/g2s that don't add much but can make a slight pattern on the base.
Atmospheric Jellyfish
While a pretty design I think it could use a bit more contrast. The design right now seems to be all at the same saturation level. You could add in some gray tones, some darker blues, some lighter blues. Overall not much needs to be changed though, it does look quite pretty.
