Best Sea Monsters
 
Yes, i'm at it again. After re-watching Jaws I figured i'd make another sea monster fan freak thread. Anyone have any personal favorites? This can be movie related, or mythology, artwork, poems, literary... anything.


I'll go ahead and spew.


The Kraken trumps all.

Jaws (Bruce)

Cthulhu (Literature, although Metallica managed to write a song that makes me really think about the story)

Charybdis (Spell check) From the Odyssey.

Cloverfield.

The Host monster
The Oil Slick monster from the Stephen King short story The Raft
The Loch Ness monster (there was an unusual documentary/comedy/horror film with Werner Herzog called Incident At Loch Ness which was pretty cool)

Sorry bud, but Cthulhu trumps all. Even though it's kind of from space and the sea. R'lyeh is sunken under the South Pacific, but Cthulhu was born on Vhoorl. So it could be considered both an alien and a sea creature.


Others I like are:

Kraken
Lake Okanagen Monster (Ogopogo)
Giant squid from 20,000 Leagues

Yeah Cthulhu was from space, but you wouldn't think of him as an alien. He's always been a sea monster imo.

I will agree. The marine setting for mosst of Lovecraft's works that I have read make me think more of watery menaces. Dagon and Shadow Over Innsmouth for example. BUT I also think of Star Spawn and other crazy outerspace creatures.

Hehe star spawn. >=)


How about Jaws? He gets some mixed feelings but I think that movie is awesome.

English water hags are awesome. Creatures like Jenny Greenteeth and Peg Powler and the creature from legend Meg Muckle that was based on them are cool and scary. The Welsh Afanc is a giant beaver, which is cool because it's just so damn weird. But the best of all sea monsters in my opinion would have to be Godzilla.
