That's A Lot of Fish

Made a fake retrosaur for a design challenge.

The Marine Iguanodon or Rynchotitan 

A (previously thought to be) extinct species of gigantic fossil reptile belonging to the retrosaurian family, somewhat similar to iguanodon creatures previously classified. Its fossils discovered in late Cretaceous formations, this species is hypothesized to have lived throughout the South Pacific Ocean on landmasses such as New Guinea, New Zealand, and French Polynesia. A chance discovery by a submersible of partially uncovered remains within ocean sediment has lead paleontologists to surmise that this particular kind of retrosaur was aquatic. 

This was at least partially confirmed in the late 20th century when a colossal and severely mutated individual of this species apparently swam from the southern Pacific, trekked across Panama, swam through the Atlantic and made landfall on Manhattan island. The reason for this bizarre journey is unknown, thought it’s believed to be some exaggerated form of migration instinct amplified and altered by its mutation. 

It wasn’t too bad, really. At least, it wasn’t a ~huge~ disaster. It was kind of like having a moose in your driveway, a little scary, but it can be weathered with a bit of patience. Only on a city-sized scale, of course.

One Truth and One Secret

Strewth is psychologically and physiologically unable to tell a falsehood. Strewth's origins vary, some say they're a life-form grown from a Bejesus feather, others say that they're another of Gosh's divine messengers. People would ask, but Strewth hasn't been seen for years.

No one knows who Snap is.

Beings of Exclamation

Great Caesar's Ghost is the spirit of a departed leader the the Eternal City (the name was a misnomer, it turned out). Once tried to build a tower into High Heaven, saw something while at the very top, stuff went down, and is now a ghost. Now he acts as a monitor of the worldly plane, and basically tries to warn people away from acts of folly and hubris.

You know when you see something that leaves you speechless and you whistle in astonishment? The Whistler did that when it saw the birth of the world. Technically qualifying as a wind god, the Whistler has mastery over wind instruments such as flutes, fifes, and whistles of all sorts. And cleanliness, some believe. It is commonly agreed that the Whistler whistling in astonishment on the seventh day of Kingdom Come will officially signal the end of the world. Last seen performing an impromptu concert on an asteroid to a small group of little green men and foos.
