An odd creature has apparently washed up on New York's coast, sparking claims that it may be another so-called "Montauk Monster."

A similar carcass sparked an online and media frenzy last July after appearing at a popular surfing spot near Montauk, N.Y.

Nicky Papers, who runs a Web site dedicated to the mystery, says he was contacted by a couple on May 5 who "think they’ve found what appears to be the Montauk Monster" on the North Fork of Long Island.

Papers wrote that he traveled to Southold, N.Y., to view the remains.

"The beast smelled like a mix of low-tide and rotten garbage," Papers wrote. "It really smelled horrific. I couldn’t help but take numerous pictures of it and video clips."

He said the carcass was being kept in a "cooler full of ice."

'Race against the clock'
Papers suggested there might be a link between the creature and the nearby Plum Island Animal Disease Center.

"If this is a genetic mishap from Plum Island, we’d like to sell the remains to an independent lab for study," he wrote on www.montauk-monster.com. "It has become a race against the clock as the couple who originally found 'Beastie' are diligently putting more ice into the cooler to keep the carcass fresh."

Papers says he's "dedicated quite a bit of time to debunking all theories presented regarding the Montauk Monster" since establishing his Web site last summer.

"I haven't ruled out biological warfare on this yet," Papers added. "A diseased carcass floating in waterways around Long Island could be infecting the water."

Some bloggers speculated that the original "Montauk Monster" may have been a viral marketing ploy for an indie movie while others suggested it may actually be a decomposing dog, pig or raccoon

So...What the hell is that? Decomposing remains of an animal already known to man? A new species of animal? The start of the Cloverfield monster epidemic?

Enlighten us NSG.

Want to see if there are better pictures.

If you look closely, it quite clearly has a dog skull. Compare it with this. (http://www.skullsunlimited.com/graphics/tq-146-lg.jpg)

People are idiots. Biological warfare? I want to stab everyone who thinks this is a conspiracy in the fucking face.

It's a certain type of sensitivity, but it's clearly pretty severe.

It irrationally angers me that everyone on the planet isn't a clone of myself. If you're not me, you're getting your face grated off.

I think you need to chill out. If you can't, maybe you need to see a doctor, so they can prescribe you something.

Getbrett, whatever it is you're doing, stop doing it on the forum. Other posters may take your exaggerations seriously, and not everyone will be as polite as Gun Manufacturers. Then we have flamebait at worst, and topic hijack at best. Neither is good.

So, chill.

Dios Mio! EL CHUPACABRA!

Hmm... Decomposing and difficult to identify.

I think it's the Republican Party. :D

Pfft, the Republican Party is easy to identify. Heck, you should recognize them instantly as political brethren Darth Clownicus. :p

So you say. But your bankroll is a bit suspect. And some would say that clowns are evil to begin with...

Looks like one of those big hairy dogs.

I suggest taking Hyde's advice. If not you will end up in prison after a murderous rampage.

The last two were dog carcasses.

This carcass resembles that of a dog. The earlier one, mentioned in the link, was rather different. That one was a dead raccoon.

Watch out it may be a carrier of the H1N1. And the Avian bird flu. Also SARS and quite possibly anal glaucoma. You should get tested for Mad Cow Disease too, just in case. Start freaking out people, horde your food and water, stock up fuel and ammunition, remember to hold onto those bottle caps. The future is now, and it sure as hell isn't pretty...

Please do not grate mine off. I've grown rather... attached to it.

I know I do.


Is there any reason not to?

Some clowns aren't evil. We'll catch em though. :)

I'm referring to institutionalized evil like Sith lords and Republicans. They really have no sense of the artistic. *nod*

Only because guns are not widely available. ;)

Not as moddable though.

Damn it, how did he escape from my unde......eh, I mean, probably a dog. Yeah. A dog.

It's a dog, with its face ripped off.

They also have no problem with punching a burning man to the ground..

under...

underwear?

you kept something like that in your underwear?

and it escaped?!?! :eek:

Eh, looks awfully dog-esque.

My first thought was that it looked like a dead, overweight cat that's been in the water for way too long. =\

On second thought, it looks more like a bloated sheep.

No doubt it's an extra terrestrial. I had hoped they'd be a bit more glamourous than that though.
