Mythos:
Our world is filled with a staggering variety of strange and beautiful mythical creatures. Their deep uniqueness makes the task of discovering them so fascinating. And yet, it is even more fascinating to discover that there is one mythical creature that seems to be truly universal. Every culture that lives near deep, inky water has seen monstrous Sea Serpents rise from the inscrutable depths. And unlike many mythical creatures, the Sea Serpents have not disappeared in modern times. Science has not disproven the strange tales of deep monsters, but revitalized them. Where people once saw water spirits and sea monster, now they are prehistoric beasts that survived for eons veiled in the depths. One of the most intriguing and terrifying affirmations of our primordial legends is known simply as The Bloop. The Bloop was an incredibly loud underwater sound detected by sea scientists in the 1990s, speculated to be something akin to whalesong, uttered by some enormous sea creature. But the creature that made The Bloop would have to many times larger than a Blue Whale to account for the volume that was recorded. If The Bloop is real, it's not a confirmation of some mere serpent, but of the most outrageous creatures of our mythologies, a modern day Jormungand, Ketus or Leviathan, recorded not in ancient texts, but by the devices of modern science.
Alt Names: Lake Monster, Biscione, Linnorm, Knucker, Tannin, Leviathan, Jormungandr, Muldjewangk, Ketus, Inkanyamba, Muc-sheilch, Naga, Ikuchi, Wani, Sihai Longwang, Nguruvilu, Bunyip, Abaia, Ashuaps, Bakunawa, Globster, Dingonek,

Insight:
The more I study these mythical creature things, the more strange and specific different creatures from different cultures I find, the more I'm impressed and a little scared by the fact that sea serpents are everywhere and everywhen. Mythical sharks? whales? dolphins? sea turtles? Nope! They don't exist. But, strange reptilian creatures that have either been extinct for millions of years or never existed in the first place, oh yeah, we've got that, every sea-faring culture in the world has that. Even lakes and rivers have them. Even modern day people see creatures like Nessy, Champy, the Muldjewangk or dozens of creatures like them. Yeah, you probably would be crazy for believing in Dragons or Sasquatches or Space Aliens, but maybe Sea Serpents aren't as bonkers as you might think. Sure maybe it's just something real like a crocodile, sturgeon or oarfish, but then there are creatures like giant squids and coelacanths, real life monsters or living relics from millions of years ago. What else is out there?
