I'm reminded of Sigmund the Sea Monster. (If that doesn't scream "child of the 70s" I don't know what)

Believe it or not, this millennial knows what that is!

When I was about 10 or so, the local SoCal PBS station played a block of Krofft Brothers shows on Saturday mornings. So I know Sigmund and Land of the Lost and HR Puffnstuff.

Looking back on it, those shows were really thoroughly on acid. Though the Kroffts insisted they were not, which makes it even weirder.

I like this overview and dissection of the kappa legend quite a bit. The kappa has always been my favorite, there's a charm about it despite its often malicious behavior. Maybe that's why I always pick Squirtle when I replay the original set of games.

How thorough your research is impresses me greatly.
