monster though.

Not so odd considering how large sea beasts were sometimes 
depicted in medieval bestiaries.

Lost mariners supposedly reported that they'd found islands which 
were acctually on the back of great turtles or "fishes" (which 
could be whales, distinguishing them as mammals is a relatively 
recent notion).
