Loch Ness Monsters

The Loch Ness Monster is a famous plesiosaur-like creature living in Loch Ness. There is actually an entire family of "monsters" inhabiting the loch.

History

Dr. Sevarius captured a Loch Ness Monster when he visited the Loch, and planned to use it as bait for the alpha-male of the family, "Big Daddy". He also had plans to use "Nessie's" genetic material to create various unusual monsters. Fortunately, Goliath, Elisa, Angela, and Bronx rescued Nessie (whom Angela had befriended) and prevented Sevarius from kidnapping her mate "Big Daddy".

The Loch Ness Monsters are usually safeguarded by the members of the Loch Ness Clan. It is currently unknown why the clan did not come to the rescue when the creatures were being menaced by Sevarius.

Real World Background

The first record of a Loch Ness Monster occurs in a medieval life of St. Columba, who in A.D. 565 is said to have saved a swimmer from such a creature; of course, it is uncertain as to whether this is a true story or merely a legend that became attached to a noteworthy figure. The monster first came to prominence in 1933, thanks in part to the building of the A82 near the loch, which allowed travellers a better view of Loch Ness. Nessie-sightings soon began to appear, as did the famous "Surgeon's Photograph" in 1934 - which has, however, recently been exposed as a hoax. Many expeditions have gone to the loch to determine if "Nessie" is real or not, but so far they have all been unsuccessful. It is entirely possible, alas, that the Loch Ness Monster may only exist in the Gargoyles Universe, and not in real life.
