<h2 id="champ">Champ</h2>

A freshwater monster whose body is completely covered in scales. Legend holds that it inhabits Lake Champlain, near New York. Those who claim to have seen it—some in the nineteenth century and others well into the twentieth—describe it as enormous, with a long neck that some compare to that of a horse and others to that of a serpent.
