"Sea monsters" refer to mythical creatures that are said to inhabit oceans and seas. These beings often appear in folklore and legends from various cultures, with descriptions ranging from giant serpents to enormous fish. Many famous tales, such as those involving the Kraken or Leviathan, have contributed to the idea of these mysterious creatures lurking beneath the waves. While sea monsters are primarily products of imagination, some real marine animals, like the giant squid or anglerfish, have inspired these legends. Their unusual sizes and features can evoke fear and fascination, leading to the belief in larger-than-life creatures in the depths of the ocean.
