You are correct about oarfish and technically giant squid. Though the giant squid was heavily exaggerated in its cryptid form

    What about the colossal squid? Could they have been conflated?

    Well the current collosal squids we see aren't exactly boat crushers. They are big but not THAT big yk? Still definitely the inspiration for the legend but not as true to form as the oarfish was

    I just noticed I used giant squid instead of collosal squid that's on me
