10. The Canvey Island Monster A creature of unknown origin, it bears comparison to a three-foot fish with legs or a toothy, armless frog. |
 |
9. The Megalodon The daddy all sharks. This sea beast is so large it could swallow a human like a fruit pastille. |
 |
8. The Thunderbird A monkey-eating behemoth that, according to legend, could create thunder by flapping its wings. |
 |
7. The Skyfish Frisky little rod-shaped critters that move so fast they are largely invisible to the human eye. |
 |
6. The Giant Sea Centipede Proof that the ‘its-more-afraid-of-you-than-you-are- of-it’ argument is complete twaddle. |
 |
5. The Mothman A seven-foot winged humanoid with glowing red eyes set in his chest. What a sweetie! |
 |
4. The Sasquatch/Yeti/Bigfoot One of the more famous figures in our league, this hairy biped has been spotted all over the world. |
 |
3. The Mongolian Death Worm Is the Gobi desert home to a giant, electrocuting, poison-spewing worm that's lethal to the touch? |
 |
2. The Loch Ness Monster You can rock it, you can knock it, you can go to Timbuktu but you’ll never find a Nessie in the zoo. |
 |
1. The Alien Who knows, perhaps us lovely, affable humans are even the enigmatic cryptids of alien nightmare. |
