* [[Magic: The Gathering]] has tons of Sea Monsters. Leviathans, Krakens, Sea Serpents etc... Notably enough, they're often both blue and absurdly huge, despite blue colour being anything but based on brute force.
* ''[[Rifts]]'' has boatloads of sea, lake, and even river monsters.
* ''[[Dungeons
** Sea Monsters by the truckload: scyllans, krakens, leviathans, ramfish, dragon turtles, sea drakes.
** And then there's Dagon, a lesser-known demon prince who is an eel with the head of a freaky fish, six tentacles ending in clawed hands, and more eyes than I really want to count. Other demon princes are afraid of him.
** The ocean-oriented ''Stormwrack'' book includes many Sea Monsters.
** Older editions had the Behemoth (giant hippo), aquatic "dinosaurs" (Elasmosaurus, Mosasaurus, Nothosaurus, Plesiosaur), dragons (Lung Wang and Yu Lung), Froghemoth, Giant (Crayfish, Crocodile, Eel, Octopus, Sea Snake, Squid, Turtle), giant fish (Afanc, Gar, Pike, Verme), Merrow (aquatic ogre), Mottled Worm (aquatic [[Sand Worm|Purple Worm]]), Sea Serpent, Seawolf (lycanthrope), and Vodyanoi (aquatic Umber Hulk).

Line 105:
** Gold/Silver/Crystal features a Red Gyarados (most are blue) rampaging in a lake. In the game a Red Gyarardos evolves from a Golden Magikarp
* The Sega arcade shooter ''The Ocean Hunter'' has its share of giant sea creatures, the biggest of which serve as boss and mini-boss fights.
* ''[[La-Mulana]]'' is maybe the only video game to use the Babylonian interpretation of Tiamat (fierce ocean goddess) rather than the [[Dungeons
* ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' - The Demoman considers the Loch Ness Monster to be his mortal enemy, and he accidentally [[Self-Made Orphan|killed his adoptive parents]] in an attempt to [[Mad Bomber|blow it up]].
* Del Lago from ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'' resembles some kinda giant newt.
