3. Canvey Island Monster
Canvey Island Monster is the name given to an unusual creature, whose carcass washed up on the shores of Canvey Island, England, in November 1953. A second, more intact, carcass was discovered in August, 1954. The creature had reddish-brown skin, gills, and bulging eyes. It had hooved shaped feet with small claws. It had sharp teeth and was small.
Only two bodies were ever discovered. Some have speculated that the it may have been some type of anglerfish, whose fins had been mistaken for feet, while others have come to a more likely conclusion, that it may have been frogfish, which do in fact walk on leg-like fins, have bulging eyes, and take on a variety of colors including reddish brown.
