[edit] Come again?
"Though the initial incident in 1955 reported one of the creatures holding up a "wand" that emitted sparks, the fact that it was observed on a country road at 3:30 am is not lost" - meaning what, exactly? Totnesmartin (talk) 22:47, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hidden hazard
In the reference from Thetis Lake Conservation Area, is the crucial sentence to note,"Lakes contain hidden hazards.?" This reference does not source the monster. Yes, it sources Thetis Lake but that isn't the crucial problem for this article and isn't in dispute. Cheers! Wassupwestcoast (talk) 14:52, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure the hazards indicated are not lurking humanoid lizardmen — they're waterlogged deadfalls and hidden rocks. We've got to rewrite this article... --Haemo (talk) 19:12, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yup! Cheers! Wassupwestcoast (talk) 19:18, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
- My biggest issue is that I really, really don't want to give credence to this cryptid, but I can't find anything other than the Unknown Victoria source for the "debunking". A blog by an expert on Victoria's history is pretty local and of dubious reliability — but apparently it's in his book, so I'll try and track that down. --Haemo (talk) 19:27, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
- There. I rewrote it massively — it now sympathetically portrays it as an escaped pet. --Haemo (talk) 16:15, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yup! Cheers! Wassupwestcoast (talk) 19:18, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
If it was an escaped pet (which it probably was), those who saw it must have really exaggerated it. It is supposed to have silver scales, not brownish ones.
