There are many flavours of '''Sea Monster''' (well, yes, [[A Worldwide Punomenon|most taste a lot like squid]], unsurprisingly). These subtropes include: |
||
* [[Giant Enemy Crab]] |
* [[Giant Enemy Crab]] [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Really big crabs]]. Well, other crustaceans, too. They all taste like a lot like crab, though. |
||
* [[Giant Squid]] |
* [[Giant Squid]] [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Really big squid]]. [[Older Than Feudalism]], they have the benefit of actually existing. Makes great calamari. |
||
* [[Kraken and Leviathan]] |
* [[Kraken and Leviathan]] The epically scaled, humongous world-ending dwellers of the deepest trenches, often with lots of references to [[Cosmic Horror|Lovecraftian]] or Biblical beasts. Tastes like whale meat. |
||
* [[Megalodon]] |
* [[Megalodon]] This prehistoric beast is great for those who like to buy their Shark Fin soup in economy scale. |
||
* [[Stock Ness Monster]] |
* [[Stock Ness Monster]] Those that ape (or more like serpent) the queen of cryptozoology, her royal slitherness the Loch Ness Monster. Said to taste rather exotic, like crocodile meat. |
||
* [[Turtle Island]] |
* [[Turtle Island]] Those whose large size combined with a sedentary life in shallower conditions make them liable to be confused for islands. Apparently the taste of giant turtle is meant to be greater [[QI|than any chicken, beef, mutton or butter]] and a favourite for long sea voyages. |
