jennyhaniver

Jenny Haniver, is the curious term for a man-made cryptid that was sold to sailors and tourists alike since the 16th Century. Constructed from dried rays, cuttlefish and other oddities of the deep the Jenny Haniver was often mistaken for a mythical creature in the flesh, and some even believed it had medicinal properties.
