Does anybody have a clue what these are?

Its not quite creepy crawlers, but its predecessor, Thingmaker. Specifically, the mini dragon line. It comes from an 8 mold set.

I found these recently and have never seen them before. I was trying to research them but don't have a clue where to even begin. They are unlike anything I have ever seen. They are made from a really soft, flexible rubber. There are no markings that I can find. They are constructed from different parts and pieces, like they were a set that had to be constructed by the owner. The longer, Chinese dragon-looking one is comprised of segments. Any help is greatly appreciated.

That's almost word-for-word what I said when I first saw them. I had to buy them haha. You should see them in person, man.

I don't know if I've ever seen those. Let me do some digging and I'll let you know if you're the winner.

I'll agree though, they really do look like some sort of Creepy Crawlers.

Ah man, that's exactly like one of the ones I have! Good eye!

And yes, they do seem to be from or related to that line, but I haven't found anything definite yet.

They really and truly are, man. I hate to be so cliché, but pictures really don't do them justice. If you were looking at them in person, they would blow your mind.
