Trivia[]
- In 1997 by a 15-year-old girl named Sophie, who encountered a miniature, multi-armed, fish-like humanoid near Makati City in the Philippines. This sighting occurred during her family’s fishing trips to Fort Bonifacio, where they would catch fish and insects in a shallow creek. Sophie’s account details her discovery of an unusual creature while inspecting the contents of her fishing net.
- Sophie thought she had caught a newt or salamander due to the creature’s small size—approximately half an inch—and its transparent appearance. However, upon closer inspection, she described it as having an elongated face resembling that of an alien, with large white eyes and small nostrils lacking a human-like nose. The creature also possessed sharp teeth and three arms on each side of its torso, each ending in three-fingered hands. Its tail was serpentine and allowed it to swim in a manner similar to that of a seahorse.
- Sophie, the other fish in her bag consumed this unique specimen before she could further investigate or document it. Despite her efforts to find another Micro-Mermaid in subsequent visits to the creek, she has not encountered another one since that day.
