The following is a guide to the paranormal and crypto zoology. I will try to update, correct and add source information (I apologize for the lack of sources, I wrote a lot of this when I was younger and a lot of it long after seeing or reading source, if you know where information came from please inform me. I desire to give due credit. Much of this is common information, but I know that not all of it is and should like to have those sources.)
Key:
* Commonly believed phenomenon or creature in certain regions
** Commonly believed phenomenon or creature
*** Proven phenomenon or creature
Sand Worms
The Arabian Desert is full of monsters, but the hardest to spot is the sand worm. These giant worms live deep below the desert sands and only surface to feed. Their main food is any available flesh, and they are attracted to the scents of decay and blood. Your only notification that they are coming is a slight tremor before you are engulfed, you may not even see them.
Silkys
Silkys are the ugly merpeople which reside in the lakes and ponds of Scotland and surrounding areas.

Sirens
Sirens are vicious merpeople whose women use their songs to lure sailors to their deaths. Sirens are sometimes said to have wings and fly to the tops of rocks to sing. The sailors sail into the rocks and the sirens scoop their lifeless bodies up from the surf and feed upon them.
