SHELLMONSTER
Shell Monster is the name of a thing with four legs, that little is known about, but lives in the sea off the coast of Iceland and perhaps elsewhere in fresh water. She is brawny but light on it's feet, aggressive and very difficult to control. Shell monster is almost only seen in the dark, but has been seen in daylight. Descriptions of the beast are vague since it is almost only seen in the dark. The alarming and debilitating experience to meet the beast and deal with it a for life and death doesn't make it easier to notice it's distinctive features and it is understandable that the power of investigation is impaired. When people try to guess it's size it's often talked about to be the size of a full grown horse. Often it has a hunched back. The tail is long, feet are valid and low, round footprints, the size of a medium saucepan, and three long sharp claws on each foot. The claws ar turned inside while walking. The creature has a thick neck and long, comprehensive teeth, mouth that has occasionally been seen glowing with phosphorescence. The eyes are reddish, the body covered tight and colorful shells or scales chips. It follows with a rattle sound. Shell monster goes on land in the fall and winter before long storms. Intolerable pong follows the beast and who find this smell should beware and turn off all lights, because the beast walks towards light.

,, It was a few years ago in Grímsey that a man named Gisli Brandsson brother of Jon Brandsson on Yztabæ, was walking by the sea when he saw the monsters walk from the sea to the shore, so big as a horse, especially the legs. Gisli saw that it came in his direction, he ran away and waded under his arms over two rivers. He heard a weird sound and he ran as fast as he can until he was in the hayfield. Gísli layed for a while since he was exausted."[2]
