It’s as simple as that

We know what they are, but not why they’re there 
Category 3 - Jigsaw Critters
We have bits and pieces everywhere that probably go together in some way, but we haven’t figured that part out yet
Category 4 - Real Boy Redux
They exist and we know they’re going to come back, possibly in some altered form
Category 5 - Vintage Weirdos
They were here once, they’re kind of strange, and they escaped extinction for longer than we thought
Category 6 - Super Weird Dogs
You know what a dog is, what if it was super weird?
Category 7 - You Get to Name These If You Find Them
They aren’t a revisitation of anything currently extent, they’re completely new critters

Episode 6
A lot of people ask “What happened to Episode 6? Why can’t it be found anywhere? Is something wrong?”
Episode 6 had originally been the Banshees episode, a cryptid which later appears in Episode 121. Alex and Addison deleted this episode from the backlog on purpose. There is no mistake, it hasn’t gone missing, and they have asked fans not to go looking for a copy of it. Here is an explanation from Alex’s Twitter and the Cryptid Keeper Appreciation Group for further clarification.
