A globster is an unidentified carcass of considerable size washed up on a seashore. In the past these were often described as sea monsters, and myths and legends about such monsters may often have started with the appearance of a globster.

Many Globsters initially thought to be a dead Plesiosaurs later turned out to be the decayed carcases of basking sharks. Another common explanation - as with the "Chilean blob" of 2003 - is that many are large amounts of whale blubber which have been released from decaying whale corpses. Still others are unexplained. Giant and Colossal squid may also explain some globsters, particularly those which are tentatively (mis)identified as monster octopi.
