Before the days of TV and the internet, myths of mysterious creatures around the world were abundant. It didn't take much to spin a person's sighting of an unknown animal into a story of a full-fledged monster encounter — a phenomenon which sometimes still continues to this day.

In the 1880s in New Zealand, stories of violent encounters with a "saurian monster" gripped the island nation, which was then seen as something of a final frontier. If any place was going to play host to a carnivorous monster, this was it. Panic swept the nation, and people still debate the true identity of the creature that residents finally found. This is the story of the monster that terrorized New Zealand in the 1880s.
