Loque is a sauropterygian kaiju once lived within Loch Ness but now patrols the ocean with nothing to stop it.
In 565 C.E., an Irish abbot and Christian monk known as Saint Columba was traveling Scotland and arrived at the River Ness, witnessing a local village attending a funeral. They claimed their fellow Pict had been killed by some sort of monster in the water. Columba - skeptical of the creature's existence - sent one of his followers by the name of Luigne moccu Min across the river to lure it out. A small reptilian creature broke the surface and curiously examined the vessel, only to be met by Columba shouting at it. The creature was scared away and fled south towards the Loch. The Picts believed Columba had banished the creature with the power of prayer and praised him as a true man of God.
It would not be until July 22, 1933, that another would be spotted again by humanity, traversing the land by everyday layman George Spicer and his wife. The creature was still small and scared by their car back into the safety of the Loch. Such a chance encounter caught the attention of the public, and the myth of the Loch Ness monstertook off. One night, the creature sailed up the river and traversed across the land into the open sea, leaving the Loch behind while investigators combed its waters trying to prove its existence.
A later sighting occurred when it visited a lighthouse in 1951, having misinterpreted the foghorn as a call. After the creature discovered the foghorn was not a fellow kaiju, it returned to the sea where it disappeared yet again.
Decades later was the great beast found on Graciosa Island in the Azores archipelago in hibernation with its egg, and a facility was built over it. The egg was taken to a research facility on the island where it hatched and was studied. A landslide damaged the facility and woke the creature up, where it rampaged along the coast of the island until it was reunited with its infant before fleeing into the open ocean.
