Among the things already touched upon in SR sourcebooks;

Megalodons
Krakens
Sea serpents
Torpedo sharks
Unicorn fish
Leviathans
Meistersingers
Storm Dolphins.

I'm sure there is more out there.... I just don't want to meet any of
it. Thing of the phobias that a lot of people have of deep water, and
translate that to the myths that exsit... What if they all were true??

Just think o toxic water spirits of the ocean, where people have been
dumping nuclear and chenical wastes into the forgotten oceans..... I
cansee a big adventure hook here.
