Nessie!

I have to mention the Loch Ness Monster when talking about games set in Scotland, don’t I?

There have been a few examples in popular culture, ranging from passing mentions to full-on appearances.

Doctor Who explained it via Zygons.

Primeval mentioned it but did an episode about a different legendary lake monster. (I put it in an adventure pitch to Cubicle 7. As well as giving it a guest spot in Hollow Earth Expedition.)

Buffy and Star Trek don’t appear to have had a go at it. Can this be right?

  1. She's never been mentioned on screen, but Nessie has apparently been mentioned in a few Star Trek EU sources:

    1. Cool, good to know. (And that 70s Marvel comic's creators really liked psychic manifestations of monsters...)
