The Rotterdam Monster is an unlikely myth in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Description[]
Myth hunters hold the belief that the monster has existed since the beginning of the city which is why the monster is named after New Rotterdam, the former name of Liberty City. Some believe that these stories originated from the 16th century in New Rotterdam but this is strictly speculation and there isn't much information on the old history of the city.
Retro myth hunters claimed that the monster was sighted around the coast of Alderney near the shipwrecks and as evident from numerous web videos, players invested a huge amount of time wanting to uncover the truth but failed to capture anything at all. At times, dark textures at the upper surface of the water may be mistaken for a monster's shadow but that technically depends on the weather. These dark textures also occur in GTA Vice City's Sea Monster. The entire myth is largely the result of player's captivation with the vast yet underutilized ocean in the game. Some users tried to fake encounters by modding in strange lights at the water's edge, allegedly of the creature or its eyeshine.
