In How to Write a Unique Spooky Story, I wrote about how to write a unique spooky story by either creating your own monster, creature, or horror yourself or by finding a monster that is not well known. I advised finding a monster by researching myths and legends in other cultures to find something that has a rich history surrounding it, but that is not considered modern. One of the countries that have some unique myths is the Canada.

Mussie

Mussie (also known as Hapyxelor or Hapaxelor) is a creature that is believed to have made its home in Muskrat Lake. Mussie is believed to be a mostly aquatic creature that has three eyes, three ears, one large fin located halfway up its back, or a razor sharp silver-green tooth, and the body of a walrus that is twenty-four feet long. Some believe that Mussy was frozen during the ice age and was released when the ice melted, while others believe that Mussie was dropped in Muskrat Lake by aliens in a UFO. It is also debated whether Mussie is a single entity of a species that has been breeding in Muskrat Lake.

Old Yellow Top

Old Yellow Top was first spotted in 1906 where it was believed to be a large blond bear. However, it was soon discovered that Old Yellow Top was not a bear, but in fact a blond Sasquatch that had made Ontario its home. Old Yellow Top has been known to mostly ignore humans, though in 1970 it was spotted walking across a road, carrying several miners to safety after a mine collapse.

Adlets

Adlets are creatures that have the upper body of a human and the lower body of a dog. It is believed that the Adlets were first created from a union between a human woman and a male dog. The human female gave birth to ten puppies and five of them ran away from their mother in order to embrace their human side; these five are believed to have become the very first Europeans. However, the other five that stayed with their mother ended up embracing their dog side and became monsters that spent their time either fighting each other or hunting for humans in human villages. Those humans that they managed to hunt they would devour, whether alive or dead.

The Thetis Lake Monster

The Thetis Lake Monster or the Canadian Lizard Man has the form of a man, but the features of a lizard and insect. The Canadian Lizard Man is believed to have silver blue scales, webbed claws, and a single barbed fin on his back. This creature generally leaves humans alone as long as they stay clear of its territory. However, those that trespass on its territory, no matter how unknowingly or unwillingly, find themselves mauled by the creature's webbed claws and bitten by its razor sharp teeth. It is rare that a human survives an encounter with the Canadian Lizard Man and those that do are never the same again.
