Here is Fastitocalon
His tale is much longer than it appears.
I first found him in Tolkien
Look, there is Fastitocalon!
An island good to land upon,
Although 'tis rather bare.
Come, leave the sea, And let us run,
Or dance, or lie down in the sun!
See, gulls are sitting there!
Beware!
But he's in an even earlier Bestiary, 2nd century, under the name of Aspidochelon.
(there seems to be some confusion as to whether he is a turtle or a fish)
William Blake even painted him!

Found amongst the many wonders of the internet by someone from
The Church of the SubGenius, whose doctrines actually encourage such behaviors ; )
