Mussie the Muskrat Lake Monster
This is a proposed image of Mussie, the Muskrat Lake Monster, from 2010 in Ontario, Canada. However, when it was seen by a man named Donald Humphreys in 1968, it was given another name. When Humphreys witnessed the strange creature, he gave it the name Hapyxelor (sometimes spelled Hapaxelor). He had no reason for dubbing it with this unique name other than that it “popped into his head” when he saw it. Sightings describe Mussie as a number of things. Witnesses claim that Mussie could have any or all of the following features: two humps on its back, a large fin, a long neck, walrus-like tusks, and three eyes. One eye witness described it as having “three eyes, three ears, one big fin halfway down its back, two legs, [and] one big tooth in front, is silvery-green in colour, and stretches for twenty-four feet.” It was first seen in 1916 and sightings have lasted up until present years. At one point in the 90s, there was a CAN$1 million reward for Mussie’s capture as long as it was still alive.
