The hodag has a broad, horned head and razor-sharp teeth and claws. Curved spikes run down its back like a dinosaur.
The Hodag is a mythical creature from Rhinelander, Wisconsin, described as having a broad, horned head, razor-sharp teeth and claws, and curved spikes running down its back. According to legend, it was forged from the ashes of brutalized oxen. The oldest known sighting was in 1893, and while there have been no recent sightings, Rhinelander holds an annual Hodag festival. The creature gained fame thanks to an infamous 1873 photo, making it one of the most well-known mythical creatures in the Northwoods.

While accounts vary, images of the Loch Ness Monster show a large body and a long neck. It is said to be plesiosaur-like in appearance.
The Loch Ness Monster, also known as Nessie, is a mythical creature said to inhabit Loch Ness in Scotland. She has a large body and a long neck, similar to a plesiosaur. Sightings have been reported for centuries, with the oldest known sighting dating back to 585 CE. In 2021, a drone sighting was reported. Despite numerous searches, including a large-scale hunt in 2023, no concrete evidence has been found. While Nessie is not considered dangerous, its elusiveness has captivated the public's imagination, with many seeking a clear photograph.

By most accounts, aliens are said to have long grey or green faces with large eyes. They are supposed to have elongated extremities as well.
The Extraterrestrials, also known as aliens or ETs, are often described as having long grey or green faces, large eyes, and elongated extremities. Tales of aliens have been told throughout history, with varying depictions of their benevolence, vocalization, and kindness. The oldest known sighting is unknown but possibly dates back to prehistoric times. The most recent reported sighting was in India in November 2023. Despite numerous reported sightings, there is no conclusive proof of extraterrestrial life, leading to skepticism about the existence of aliens.
