I guess so... but I'm not to sure I would bet on calling that his origin.... was his home not the briney ocean??

Well he seemed to be a mix of a ton of animals, I just thought the bat reference was really clear to me when I started thinking about it. It's just a random thought and I just wanted to share it because most of the stuff on here is REALLY out there theories on how this thing came about haha.

It could be possible he lived in a underwater cave, not necessarily under the ocean, like an island type cave.

I would not characterize the monster as a sea creature, he looked more like a mammal.

He kinda reminds me of a monkey. The arms are a little different but meh, whatever.

Plus, he kinda sounds like Peter Jacksons Kong. Gotta be creative. I hear it, and I'm sure you'll hear it too.

Plus MGP was found at the bottom of the sea, and you know there are tons of bats in the water right, you know, rainbow trout bats and sea bats

I think the guy has a point. Not that I totally agree it is a bat but one of my first impressions of MGP in its looks and movements was a similarity to the giant hairless bat thing The Count turned into in Bram Stokers Dracula when they busted him in the room working on Winona Ryder.

I'm sure Neville Page drew inspiration from many animals. I can see the influence of the vampire bat in the monster, along with a crocodile, snake etc... The monster is definitely not a mammal. Mammals cannot breath underwater. If the monster was a mammal it would have to surface every time it needed to breathe. Someone would have seen it before now. It's obviously an amphibian.

I definitely saw a resemblance, both in a shot of MGP screaming, and with the way its front arms move. Thank God the sumumabitch don't fly!!

I've thought that since I saw the movie. It resembles, and walks, like a vampire bat.

Growing up in farmhouses, I've seen a lot of bats walking around as well as flying, and I noticed the same thing, especially in the bombing-run scene. This actually jaded the overall idea of what the creature looked like in my head, but ultimately, it got me thinking. Good observation.
