2. (Zo["o]l.) A large marine animal of unknown nature, often
reported to have been seen at sea, but never yet captured.
Note: Many accounts of sea serpents are imaginary or
fictitious; others are greatly exaggerated and

probably refer to the giant squids (Architeuthis).

serpentlike creatures with paddles. SerpentSerpent Ser"pent, v. i. [imp. & p. p. Serpented; p. pr. &
