Leviathan (pronounced /lɨˈvaɪ.əθən/; Hebrew: לִוְיָתָן, Modern Livyatan Tiberian Liwyāṯān ; "twisted, coiled"), is a sea monster referred to in the Hebrew Bible (the Christian Old Testament). The word leviathan has become synonymous with any large sea monster or creature. In Christian tradition, the Leviathan is associated with Satan. In modern literature (such as the novel Moby-Dick) it refers to great whales, and in Modern Hebrew, it means simply "whale."


Loch Ness Monster:

The earliest report of a monster associated with the vicinity of Loch Ness appears in the Life of St. Columba by Adomnán, written sometime during the 7th century.[14] According to Adomnán, writing about a century after the events he described, the Irish monk Saint Columba was staying in the land of the Picts with his companions when he came across the locals burying a man by the River Ness. They explained that the man had been swimming the river when he was attacked by a "water beast" that had mauled him and dragged him under.

Brontosaurus is funny because it never existed. The name was given to an already named species, Apatosaurus. But apparently nobody can kill the Brontosaurus.

I'm going with the Leviathan here, because a huuuuge monster roaming the oceans sounds cooler than some shy plesiosaur in a tiny lake.
Oh, and the Leviathan would never bother with a single man. It does ships like we open a can of wieners.

Stop ressurecting old threads! For a moment I thought the Loch Ness Monster was back for the final. :)

And if that is Nessie, it's hideous. Looks more like a Kraken anyway.
