I know of the Loch Ness Monster, a Selkie (I'm pretty sure) and the Kelpie being abouts where I live (Uke), Ogopogo - look it up, there is a weird cryptids called the 'Ahuizotl' a page taken literally from Wikipedia " The Āhuitzotl (from the Classical Nahuatl: Āhuitzotl for "spiny aquatic thing", a.k.a. "water dog") is a legendary creature in Aztec mythology. It is said to lure people to their deaths. The creature was taken as a mascot by the ruler of the same name, and was said to be a "friend of the rain gods". The ahuizotl is most likely a water opossum, which possesses dexterous hands "like a raccoon's or a monkey's", as well as a prehensile tail (the hand most likely represents this prehensile nature), waterproof marbled black and grey fur, and small pointed ears.

I've heard of a Bunyip that originated from the Aboriginal mythology of southeastern Australia. They lived in lakes, billabongs, rivers and swamps and at night hunted for women and children to eat. Obviously not real, but as it was believed so long ago by the Aborigines, there isn't really a determined appearance.
