| AQUATIC-ENIGMAS: The creatures that made this list are a unique breed of cryptid. Not falling into the typical categories of the Lake Monster or Sea Serpent, these animals tend to be more humanoid or hybrid-like in appearance, and are often not limited to the depths of vast oceans or deep lakes. In fact, most reports of these creatures have been spawned from rivers, swamps, reservoirs and even man-made ponds! Another interesting aspect of the beasts mentioned below is the fact that not all of them are strictly speaking "aquatic animals". According to most eyewitness accounts, most of these creatures have a tendency to exhibit distinctly amphibious characteristics, yet all of them share what appears to be some sort of fundamental connection to their underwater environment. One thing is beyond contention; these creatures are occasionally curious, often dangerous... and always bizarre. |
