The Ningen is a large aquatic cryptid reported to live in the frigid waters near Antarctica. It appears to be a halfway mix between a whale and a human being.

Appearance[]

Said to be between 60 and 90 feet in length, the Ningen has been described as being a humongous, “blubbery, whale-like creature,” whose smooth, pale form vaguely resembles the head, torso and appendages of a human being. That having been noted, there are some eyewitnesses who have testified that it has a mermaid-like tail rather than two hind “legs” and others who insist that there are what resemble “hands” complete with five fingers at the ends of its tendril-like arms. Many observers have also reported that these animals have no distinct facial features save for two, huge eyes and a mouth-like slit.

The Antarctic Godzilla has been described as a Ningen, although it has some differences, being notably hairy and of a reptilian aspect. It has also been associated with the cryptid Kabagon.

Possible Explanations[]

There are several explanations as to what the creature could be. Theories include:

  • An undiscovered species (a Cryptid)
  • A submerged piece of ice
  • A misidentified whale

Trivia[]

  • The word "ningen" means "human" in Japanese.
