Hafgufa or Hafgufu (original Old Icelandic version of the name " Hafgufa") this is a giant sea monster from Icelandic mythology, the mother of all sea monsters.

It was believed that it existed in the Greenland Sea and masqueraded as an island or a pair of rocks rising from the sea. There were very few surviving eyewitnesses of this creature, but there were those who said that the creature looks like a boar and a walrus, but with a blue blue tail, and on its body there are blue, red and orange stripes.

Chathura fed on whales, ships, people and all that they could catch. It is said that this giant fish lived under water, and when the tide was out at night, its nose and head would rise out of the water.
