I'm so glad they called the animal 'large' instead of, oh I don't know, giving any actual measurements.

I found another article that said it's up to 8 inches

While eight inches is large in some contexts, as far as creatures go I was hoping for something the size of a horse.

An 20 legged Antarctic ocean horse would be pretty scary

I was expecting a large creature to occupy a 10' x 10' square.

Ok, so spooky but not nightmare fuel. This is the closure I needed, thanks!

It could be anywhere between the size of a wolf to a mountain. Is that not specific enough for you? /s
