This is an UMA. It's short for Unidentified Mysterious Animal.

Hey—! Christmas has nothing to do with it, does it?! And I don't even know anything about this UMA thingy!

Well, I'll take a look for now, hmm... It feels like a plesiosaur, judging from the silhouette?

Was this photo taken at sea? Plesiosaur-like UMAs would be either the Mokele-mbembe or the Loch Ness monster, but they both have only been witnessed in lakes, so this can't be either.

As for pleisosaurs at sea, hmm, there are reports of plesiosaur-like carcasses being dredged up at sea that were called Neo Loch Nesses or such, but then again people have explained them away as being rotted basking shark carcasses or something along those lines.

But I personally prefer the plesiosaur theory. It has a certain romance about it, after all.

Today we are having Hatsukaze here to verify this photograph, taken by Aoba, which depicts an UMA-looking entity. Hatsukaze is intimately familiar with UMA stuff; she's also known under the alias "Tsuchinoko" and is one who really makes you get into the spirit of things and cut loose during Christmas.
