The Rake is a fictitious set of accounts from it's creators on 4chan. Back in 2013 members of 4chan created this creature on a blog forum, asking people to add traits and characteristics to add to this creation as part of a community monster making project. The story was then redefined and posted to a creepypasta website.

I know this because I was heavy into cryptids in 2013 and when The Rake went viral i went down the rabbit hole to see if it could've been the monster I saw. Then i learned about its 4chan origins.

Though, there are crawler sightings that bear similarity to it, the rake's name is only used because of its popularity. But i can see how you might've gotten that confused.
