In the 1840's P.T. Barnum added a new attraction to his circus side show, The Feejee Mermaid. It appeared to be half monkey half fish and was a weird corpse looking thing that of course was just a hoax. But I have been fascinated with the idea since I saw an episode of The X Files that talked about this strange creature.
