 Zaratan is a large Cryptid that is a giant sea turtle that has an island on it's back. It is considered to be the largest cryptid, dwarfing a blue whale.

The creature comes from a story about a group of sailors whom thought they found a deserted jungle island, but rather had encamped on the creature's back.
