Nessie

**Nessie** (ネッシー, *Nesshī*?), or **Kamissie** (カミッシー, *Kamisshī*?) by Okarun since the creature had previously arrived in Kamikoshi City, was a cryptid and a disgruntled subordinate of the Serpo.

In *Dandadan*, it serves as a supporting antagonist during the Serpo Arc.

## Appearance

Nessie was a long neck marine creature, at least 3.5 meters large, with gills that extended to the end of its body.

## Personality

Nessie was a vicious and aggressive creature who attacked anything it came across. Despite being a subordinate of the Serpo, Nessie did not have the intelligence to follow orders, let alone understand them, and were included in Nessie's rampage.

## Background

Ever since 700 AD, the creature had been sighted on multiple accounts but made itself truly known in 1934 at Loch Ness, Scotland after an obstetrician from London captured a photo of it. The creature then went on to become famously known as the **Loch Ness Monster** (ネス湖の怪獣, *Nesu-ko no Kaijū*?). While the picture that would then become known as the "surgeon's photograph" exposed the creature's existence, many had doubted its authenticity and believed that it was a hoax.

## Synopsis

### Serpo Arc

Setting their sights on Okarun for his Turbo-Granny powers, the aliens brought along Nessie and the hired Dover Demon to capture him at his school. While roaming the halls alone, Nessie becomes spotted by Momo who immediately tries hiding from it. However, after accidently making a sound, Nessie closes in and fires a high-compression water blast that destroys a classroom. It then made its leave but became unaware that the blast missed Momo.

Later, after the Serpo confronts Okarun, Aira, and Momo, Nessie makes its arrival and interrupts the fight by flooding the area and attacking the Serpo. Seeing as how Nessie was uncontrollable, a surviving Serpo makes the decision to merge himself with both Nessie and the Dover Demon to create the Serpod Dover Demon Nessie as a last resort to eliminate Okarun, Aira, and Momo. However, the alien's plan fails after Okarun destroys the creature's body Serpod Dover Demon Nessie, resulting in Nessie being killed in the process.

## Abilities and Powers

By absorbing water through its gills, Nessie can fire a devastating high-compression water blast from its mouth that is capable of destroying a classroom and bifurcating a Serpo. Since it needs to absorb water in order to fire the blasts, Nessie is unable to shot them continuously and needs to recharge every so often.

## Trivia

* Like the Serpo and the Dover Demon, Nessie also references monsters from across Tokusatsu media, such as Zaurs from Fight! Mighty Jack!, Jirahs from Ultraman, and Godzilla (specifically Godzilla’s Fourth Evolution from the 2019 installment “Shin Godzilla)
* it’s striking resemblance to an incarnation of Godzilla may actually be in reference to the previously mentioned Ultra Kaiju Jihras, who (alongside Zaurs) is referred to in universe as “ ネス湖怪獣” or “Nesu-ko Kaiju” which translates as “Loch Ness Monster”
* It is quite possible that Nessie is simply a giant eel as in recent years DNA researchers discovered traces of eel DNA in Loch Ness.
