Description

The monster lives in Lake Manitoba (Canada). The original name is "Manipogo".

It is described as a thin worm-like/snake-like creature seen in the waters of the lake or even "a long dirty brown body with humps that are visible above the water and a sheep's head." Moreover, the number of humps in the descriptions vary (most often three). The appearance of humps in the descriptions is associated with the peculiarities of the animal's movements (it is believed that it moves bending like a caterpillar).

The first European settlers have seen this creature since the 1800s. It is believed that Manipogo is related to those snakes that live in other lakes of British Columbia.​ ​‌​​‌‌ ​‌​‌​‌​ ​‌‌​‌‌​ ​‌‌‌​‌‌ ​​‌‌‌‌
