Hawkesbury River Monster

The Hawkesbury River Monster is believed to live in the Hawkesbury River in New South Wales. The Hawkesbury River Monster is thought to be similar to the Loch Ness Monster in that most believe it looks like an aquatic lizard similar to the prehistoric plesiosaur that went extinct seventy million years ago. The size descriptions of those who have seen the Hawkesbury River Monster differ drastically as some say the creature is seven meters from nose to tail tip, while other disagree and say the creature is twenty-four meters long. It is unknown if the creature is the same one that was first spotted by settlers in the 1800s or if the creature has since bred to produce offspring. It is believed that the Hawkesbury River Monster is not an aggressive creature unless it feels itself or its territory is threatened. Many believe that the Hawkesbury River Monster has in fact killed people that have gone missing near the Hawkesbury River.

Drop Bear

The Drop Bears (also known as carnivorous koalas) have the appearance of a koala, but they are the size of large bears with razor sharp teeth and claws that have more in common with knives than claws. Drop Bears make their homes in the very top branches of eucalyptus trees and gum trees. Drop bears are nocturnal creatures that only hunt for prey at night, making their prey most consistently unwary travelers. They hunt by tracking their prey from the tree tops until they find a branch that is directly over the top of their chosen prey. Then they release the branch and drop right on the head of their prey to knock their prey unconscious. Once their human prey has been rendered unconscious, the drop bear will eat their prey alive. The only known method of protection from a drop bear attack is to hold a sharp object like a spear, knife, or screwdriver over one's head with the pointy side facing up. This will kill any drop bear when they drop from the trees, but will still likely render the human unconscious. 

Bunyip

The Bunyip is a monster that always lives in or near a large body of water; most commonly the Bunyip makes its home in swamps, lakes, rivers, and natural pools. The Bunyip has a long, spindly gray body with giant tusks, slimy flippers, the teeth of a saber tooth tiger and the black tail of a horse. The Bunyip is almost always hungry and is willing to hunt and eat anything and anyone that ventures near its home. Many animal killings have been attributed to the Bunyip and people that go missing in swamps and near large bodies of water are often believed to have been eaten by a Bunyip. Many believe that the Bunyip possess supernatural powers which allow them to control water and water plants.

Ningen

Ningen are believed to be sea monsters that are over thirty meters long with human-like eyes and mouths. The Ningen’s lower body seems to be different for each individual Ningen as some have fins while others have mermaid-like tails, or webbed feet. Many believe that the Ningen are more creature than monster as they are often seen playing with dolphins or floating about enjoying the sun on their skin.
