Description

We head to the Scottish Highlands for one of the most famous mythical beasts in the world—the one and only Nessie, the Loch Ness monster!

First reported, along with who knows how many other fictitious aquatic beasts, at the start of the Middle Ages, when the monster was mentioned in the Life of St. Columba, the tale of an Irish adept staying in the Highlands. Modern civilization started to take an interest in Nessie since the Inverness Courier published an article about the creature in 1933. Since then photographs and reports of the creature have become commonplace, continuing to this very day.

Some people suggest that Nessie is a plesiosaur. Others think that there may be more than one monster. This version of the Loch Ness Monster is an intelligent, magical water beast.

Monster Type Description

Beasts are natural animals whose existence and abilities are nonmagical. A bear and a tyrannosaurus rex are both beasts.
