"Nessie"

            On a scale of dragons ranging from Smaug to Puff the Magic, the Loch Ness Monster (affectionately known as “Nessie”) probably ranks somewhere in the middle.  Certainly, earliest accounts have it that she can be of a homicidal bent, but modern perception suggests a more shy and withdrawn demeanor -- almost, perhaps, demure...idyllic.  

Legendary, mythological, her existence never having been decisively documented, she has been sought by virtually every technology known to modern civilization, including sonar, submersibles, motion-detecting cameras, and Google Earth. At one point, she had an official fan club of sorts that included over one-thousand followers.  Everyone, it seems, is fascinated by those mysteries of nature that remain.

This particular “Nessie” is probably a distant cousin left high and dry by the catastrophic Bonneville Flood that drained ancient Lake Bonneville some fourteen-thousand years ago.
