      They drew stories of sailors as accurately as possible. whales, sea lions etc

      they also thought the sea had everything that land had so they invented some monsters like sea dogs

      they put the monsters where people saw the real animals, where the water was dangerous and where they didn’t want other people to go like their secret fishing spots

        where they didn’t want other people to go like their secret fishing spots

        If I were a sea monster this is exactly the rumor I’d be spreading. “It’s just an awesome fishing spot! Not my home or anything.”
