@Akidra You're mistaking the distance between where the heads protrude from the ground to the main body for water. And if you try countering that with "how the main body moves" than that's entirely possible, as much as it isn't. It only varies on the actual size of the monster.

The greatest note on this top picture is that you can see the exposed vertebrae dangling under the neck of the head to the left. Between these two pictures it can be easily noted that the heads protrude from the ground, not the monster itself. As BannedLagiacrus mentioned before, you may note that the shape of the shadows is somewhat different from the shape of the monster that we see. Rather than tentacles they would appear to be much more "vector" like. It may also be noted that the shape of the jaw appears uneven, perhaps broken for that matter.

Evidently, many of the bones we see on it are not complete or shaped like normal bones, most have had their shape altered in some way. The entire neck seems to have unravelled, the vertebrae dangles and the spines are clearly what's exaggerated. That is,- correct me if I'm wrong- there aren't any monsters that have this kind of skeletal structure. Either they originate from a much older species or, as I'm suspecting, they've been drastically altered in some way.

I will admit, I'm oddly reminded of a sea cucumber when I look at this monster, but it reminds me more of the Black Tortoise in Chinese myth.
