The Albanian quasi-vertebrates are a set of hypothesized anomalous taxa described in twentieth-century speculative zoology, most prominently in works attributed to Helmut J. Sickle. Accounts link the organisms’ morphology to disease, parasitism, and environmental stress in the Albanian highlands.[1][2]

Discussion of the quasi-vertebrates has appeared in scholarship on parafiction, pseudoscience, and digital folklore associated with the Albania for King Zog Committee (AKZ).[3]
