1768 Saltwater Beast

The 1768 Saltwater Beast is a very large creature that appeared for the first time in the year 1768 near the shores of Austria. For the first time, it was shown swimming in the ocean, shocking tourists. The Beast was described as looking "almost a little like a crocodile, about 60 feet or more in length, and had a very long tail with big spikes". It was later confirmed as a giant crocodile due to the "scaly hide, and the long jaw and short limbs", after it washed ashore on an island all the way over in Costa Rica.

In 1780, the crocodile-like beast was seen once more, swimming along in a river in Costa Rica. It indeed was not an ordinary American crocodile due to how large it was, but getting a closer look at it, it looked to be around 64 to 66 feet long, was slightly scarred, and had what appeared to be an eye missing, though it may have just been shut while the other was open. Whether this was the truth or not is not known. The origins of the beast are unknown; however, it is implied that it is one of the many crocodilian cryptids around the world.
