Lagarfljóts Worm
Lagarfljótsormur, Lagarfljotsormurinn, Lagarfljót worm three different names for one cryptid simply all these names mean Iceland Worm Monster. This cryptid is located in Lagarfljót lake in Iceland. Because of the lake's poor visibility the creature has not been studied but sightings can be dated back as early as 1345. The worm is suppoesdly as long as a football field 300ft or 91 meters. It has been seen both in water and on dry land so we can assume it has both gills for when it is underwater and lungs for when it travel on to dry land. according to Icelandic myth the worm lived in two conjoining rivers and very rarely showed itself and when it did it was thought as an omen of good news.
