The novel " The Kraken Wakes" from 1953 is now more actual than ever before. The biotechnology has made possible to make organisms what have ever before thought as possible. When we are thinking about this sea-monster, what threats the entire human race and Earth, we can think about the situation, that genomes of the mushroom and jellyfishes are combined in purpose or accidental.
Mushrooms are the biggest creatures in the earth and their mycelium can be suffused even in the hundreds of square kilometers, and nobody actually knows, how large the network of mushroom can be. If those genomes would combinate with jellyfishes, there would be possible that there would be forming very large and deadly organism, what could be hard to destroy.
When we are thinking stories about the monsters, what is living in the lakes, we must remember, that in isolated places the genetic transformation is very small, and it can create mutations, what would cause the aggressive behavior or extreme growing of the animals, what are trapped on those places. If there would be no volcanic threat and water would be clean, but animals and people are dying in the water, there might be some species, what makes the biological threat to other animals. One of those treats could be the amoeba, what might lay in the bottom of the lake.
When there would be enough food, the amoebas would act like normal things, but when there would be no food, they could be connecting, and rise from the bottom of the lake, what would cause the death of the people and fishes. Or those animals can be jellyfishes, what is acting like sea anemones when there would be enough food. But when the food ends, those things would rise from the bottom. When we are thinking about the situation, that some jellyfish would live symbioses with cells, what gives it sugars, and when the sun is going down, the production of sugars would be ended.
This might cause that the jellyfish would turn to beasts. The dark reaction would turn the jellyfish into the beast, what would be extremely deadly, and if we are connecting the horror-effect in this writing, those primitive animals could melt together, and that could cause the deaths in the lakes. The same thing could happen to amoebas, and they might be dangerous in this kind of situation. Also at the bottom of the lakes can live snakes like Anacondas, what can be dangerous for humans, if they are disturbed.
Sponges can also be very poisonous, and they can look very innocent, and if somebody touches them, would that cause death. The same thing could happen if the scuba-diver thinks that coral is some kind of root, and if somebody touches it, the burning tentacles would penetrate the skin, and cause death. And in the lakes, this kind of animals can look different than somewhere else. Also, the octopuses, what are degenerated can behave aggressively.
