Another popular legend is scotland's "giant crocodile". The creature is said to be huge (10 feet/3 meters tall) and capable of using magic. However, there are also some who believe that the giant crocodile is just a fantasy.

In ancient China, it was believed that the lake monster was the embodiment of the gods and could bring good or bad luck. It is believed that they have the ability to change the weather or affect humans. Therefore, people tend to respect and avoid these possible dangerous creatures.

However, not all lake monsters are scary. Some believe they are actually friendly and can even help humans. For example, in traditional Chinese culture, the "turtle" symbolizes auspiciousness and longevity. Therefore, people often carve turtles into ornaments to bring good luck, or give them to the elderly as gifts to show respect and respect.

If you travel around the world, you'll find different places with different lake monster legends. In Scotland, there is a legend of a lake monster called the "giant whale". The story of "Giant Whale" begins with a young man named Andrew Graham. Graham wants to go out to sea in search of a giant whale that can keep him from breathing — a whale that will keep Graham immortal.

According to legend, Graham eventually found and caught the giant whale. But when it started making it impossible for him to breathe, Graham realized he didn't want to live forever—he wanted to go back to his normal life cycle. So he cut off his tongue (so that he could no longer tell others how to live forever) and threw it back into the sea (so that he could no longer return to normal life). According to legend, the carcass of the giant whale floated around in the sea of Scotland until today.

3: Characteristics of lake monsters

In recent years, more and more people have begun to pay attention to lake monsters. The emergence of lake monsters appears to be linked to increasingly polluted waters. In many folklore, lake monsters are also known as water ghosts, water demons, water spirits, etc. They are often described as creatures with fish scales and human or animal faces. According to different legends, lake monsters have different forms.

In China, the most famous lake monster is probably the "Quao Father". Kwapa is said to be a giant water dragon that lives in rivers and lakes in northern China. It has a human face and is able to use magical powers to protect its homeland. In addition, there are those who claim to have seen the true form of the Quaker Father, namely a huge and terrifying crocodile.

In Japan, it is said that the yokai "Yulei", who lives in the mountains under Mount Fuji, can fly, is immortal, has a strong vitality, and has a fairy-like appearance, is the Japanese version of "Kwapa". The place where Yu Lei lived was the gateway to the celestial realm on earth, hence the name Yu Lei (meaning blocking the gate of the celestial realm).

In the Arctic Circle, there is a legendary North Sea giant "Ahuli", which looks half-tall, half-dog-tall, orange-skinned, and looks like a sea lion (Seal), but can run and fly in the water at an astonishing speed, spit hail in its mouth to cool the surrounding climate, and produce light to dazzle opponents or rescue victims.

Now, as global climate change intensifies, new views have emerged about the possibility of lake monsters. Some claim that as sea levels rise, creatures that used to live on the ocean floor will be forced to flee to land in search of a new home.
