The rare/obscure animals are middle point of tier 1, and animals that were cryptids but later verified to exist are a half step below tier 2.

The older the folkore of a tier 2, or the more mystical the nature of a cryptid, the higher in tier 2 they are, with things like wendigo being between folklore and mythlogy meaning the highest on that tier.

With minotaurs, chimera, and such being the lowest on the mythical tier 3, and the only ones most hunters are ever likely to encounter. anything past that is exponentially more powerful and more rare.
