The Canvey Island Monster is the name given to a creature whose body washed up on Canvey Island. The creature had reddish-brown skin, gills, and bulging eyes. It had hooved shaped feet with small claws. It had sharp teeth and was small. Only two bodies were ever discovered. It is commonly thought to just be the mistaken washed up corpse of some normal sea-faring animal. Others think it was a species of anglerfish. Some think that it is some alien that needs water that died before getting in the water. The most likely explanation, however is that it is a Frogfish, a type of anglerfish. They live in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Ocean, as well as the Red Sea. They have many features similar to the Canvey Island Monster, such as the reddish-brown coloration, large eyes, and "feet".
