Dragons were mentioned as well as a reference to the Loch ness monster, and that's who I alluded to...

I never said you did but using them in the same phrase kinda lumps them together. To me it's the same thing as saying I don't like guys named Duke or serial murderers. Sure there two separate thoughts but when put together they become one.
Anyway, I'm not even sure what a monster is to be perfectly honest. Is a monster something that you believe is living in your closet or under your bed as a child or something more sinister such as an uncle who touches you inappropriately, a boss who massages your shoulders or an addiction to a controlled substance?
I wasn't picking your post apart lu, just trying to create a distinction between Dragons and monsters. I think monster is a very unflattering term that encompasses a wide range of negative emotions which I'd hate to see put upon the Dragon myth. Personally, I'm not a Dragon lover or hater but I'd be lying if I didn't say they do fascinate me.
