NerdBird's Riddle Archive

Every weekend a new logic riddle is published here (please forgive me, if real life now and then forces me to delay the publishing) and old riddles are moved to the archive. Every riddle has been constructed and tested by me, but still I won't guarantee that they "work". Never mind, go ahead and try!

Riddle #19 (published September 20, 1998)

If we dive into the old chronicles, many reports and rumours about monsters living near lakes can be found. The Lake Davis monster is said to have red glowing eyes. A creature first reported in 1712 moves on 4 legs. The monster, which is completely silent does not have 4 wings, while the Lake Wichoa monster is said to have so. The Lake Drimmeln monster has a frightening thorny tail. The monster with the green claws was first seen by a peasant in 1056. The 2-legged monster doesn't have green claws, and the yellow-fanged monster is not shrieking. The barking monster was first sighted in 1903. The Lake Davis monster is not known for its 2 legs – actually it doesn't have any, but moves otherwise. The Lake Yoatoa monster is usually howling. The swimming monster was first sighted in 1765.

When was the thorny tailed monster sighted?
