10 Mythical Stories About Sea Creatures

Many books, films, or legends that travel by word of mouth have told stories of mythological creatures of the sea. From stories of terrible sea monsters that destroyed ships and the sailors who sailed on them, to the accounts of mermaids who enthralled their crews with their songs to drag them to a terrible end, All these stories have survived the passage of centuries.

That's why today, we are going to unravel ten mythical sea monsters that have become the seat of fear for many cultures out there.

We place the deadliest and most fearsome for number one. So keep watching to find out as it will surely give you the biggest goosebumps of your life!

Now let's ride on, shall we?

Number 10: The Aspidochelone

The Aspidochelone became quite popular when the movie -the adventure of Baron Munchausen (1988) hit the main screen. If you've not seen it, then you've got to! You have got to watch that scene where the captain and his crew were tossed into the water after their ship capsized, followed by the horrific sight of a sea monster that kept them all shaking. Enough of the movie excerpts, don't you think?

The Aspidochelone is a creature of Greek mythology. A beast supposedly shaped like a big whale or a giant turtle with an ample irregular backside that makes up its upper part. This part usually stays above water, shaped like an island. Now you see why the captain thought that they had found their haven after the crash.

Seafarers dock at its back, hoping to rest and cook. Unknown to them that they've just met their worst nightmare. The heat from the fire they make irritates the monster, and guess what happens next? Yes, you got it right. Everyone gets drowned!

Number 9: The Jormungandr

This creature is very notorious amongst the people of the Norse mythology. Uhmm... don't worry, we got you covered. Norse mythology is like a compendium of stories and cultural folklore about Vikings. Now that's more relatable, right?

Jormungandr is one of the exceedingly large Norse sea ophidians, or you can call it, the sea serpent. You can liken its appearances to that of the Basilisk in "Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets." Yes, that scary-looking snake that petrifies you on making eye contact with it.

The Jormungandr is more commonly known as the Midgard serpent. It is owing to the legend that it coils itself around an island known as Midgard. It has earned its place in Marvel's comics and screen shows. The serpent is the child of Loki and his mistress, Angrboda. What a deadly combo!

The monster was banished from Asgard by Odin and fought by Thor, the god of thunder, to put an end to the doom that the Jormungandr was to bring. The monster's blood is poisonous, and it can produce fire from its mouth. The fire that is always ready to burn it's victims alive! That was scary even for Thor, son of Odin.

Number 8: The Kappa

Owing to the traditional knowledge of Japanese, the Kappa is a green monkey-like monster with webbed feet and a hard shell. Some people even described it as a miniature man with some sort of depression filled with water on its head. That is the source of its strength as it becomes weakened or may die if it loses the liquid.

The kappa was notorious for tricking young kids into kidnaping them and luring women into raping. Then, eventually drowns them. Oh, just like all monsters, we would never forget to add brutal killing to the list. It has a very peculiar killing mode, according to legend, and that's removing the soul ball from the anus of its victims. Japanese parents use the kappa story to scare their children from dangerous swimming. Locals still place Kappa warning signs near rivers in Japan to date.

The power of kappa stands for both pure and evil. The kappa, as the story had it, taught the techniques of bone-setting to man. It has a soft spot for cucumbers. No wonder cucumber offerings are taken to rivers and ponds in japan to appease the kappa. But you don't want to mess with an angry kappa while swimming. It might end up being your last!

Uhh, you got some things wrong about Scylla. For example, you didn't describe her quite right, even though she's been interpreted in many ways, the important detail is that she had a belt of giant, angry dog heads
Also the leviathan is only a snake in some tales, in others it's a whale
