the tiger snake, the Inland Taipan (the most venomous), Coastal Taipan and the King Brown are all not nice!

Snakes, poisonous or not, don't bother me. Neither do spiders, mice, other various insects and small critters. No you want to see me head for the hills screaming like a little girl...bees. Since I am allergic, and they hurt when they sting to boot, I am a big sissy when it comes to them. I can face down a snake with a hoe without flinching, I see one bee and I am cowering under the bed wimpering. (Ok maybe not that bad but close).

I'm surprised this creature wasn't mentioned before.

Legends have it that a few bold men saw it, and one survived, It was so ugly and strange that noone believed it had really existed. Later a community picked up on the ancient legends of the sighting and used it to make a game called Heroes of Might and Magic a bit more humerous. The beast was called: The Giant Mutated Whale.

Also I live in Holland which is (according to politicians at least) a multicultural sociaty. That means that all mythical creatures are somehow entangled in my culture, because many cultures are entangled in mine.
Grah!

Rofl :D That's up the archaeologists and I think they would have found some hints if so. UNLESS...What if they are trying to cover up the Dragon Age? :S
I, for one, am dying to find out what colour they paint Michael's toenails.
