Favorite non-entertainment monsters
 

What monsters do you like outside of the realm of tv, movies, and video games? (go ahead and list stuff from literature, siince no one ever seems to pay attention to it)

I mean like Dragons, Nessie, mokele-mbembe, banshees, so on?

Me?

I like dragons, a LOT.

Always liked Bay-kok (an native American spirit that killed hunters)

Lycanthropes

Awlays thought Fenris was cool (a norwegian wolf that was so large , when it opened it's mouth, its jaw touched the ground while the snout touched the sky)

Ghosts

Traditional Zombies

ANYTHING from the Cthulu Mythos

Mummys kick ass

I was always , even as a child, intrigued by Bigfoot,Yeti,Sasquatch, or whatever other name they went by.
Also Nessie.

I'm really interested in anything about abominable snowmen and those big chewbacca style Yetti monsters, that roam the forests..... read a quite a bit and seen many pictures of these.

I think it is the fact that the public seems more interested in the "Wild men", but i tend to be less interested in them. Me and my "anti-establishment" ways....

i like the more obscure things like the Dover Demon, the Mothman, England's Owlman and Spring-heeled jack.

Are you accusing me of secretly wanting a big hairy man?

I think the reason being, that there is more of a chance that they could be real.

Not that I have anything against big hairy men. Just not my type.

Suuuuuuuuuuure you dont, newb.......:D


Bigfoot (yeti, Yowie, and all the others) intrigues me, just not as much as most others. I would love for them to find a body. That would be complete vindication for Cryptozoology as a science.

I was in love with Nessie for a long time, but there is just WAY too much evidence pointing to it NOT existing for me to have any faith in it. i am pretty much certain there is no loch ness monster.

another one i will never buy is the idea of a living megalodon.... granted, you would think a fish that huge would be a deep-water fish, but the highest populations were actually in the north-american inner sea a few million years ago... a decidedly shallow sea. i suppose soem could have developed into a deep-sea species (or had been around all along), but with something that freakin big, you would think SOMEONE would have seen something by now....


Of course, i think i may have just defeated my own argument.... there has never been a 100% substantiated account of someone seeing a live Giant Squid, but their bodies wash up from time to time, so we know they are real.... but we havent found/seen a single megalodon corpse....


It is a big ocean world out there though....
