It&#8217;s not an illusion: there really is a castle floating around the outskirts of the map, but what&#8217;s even stranger is the fact that it&#8217;s riding on the back of a giant sea monster.<\/p>\n<h2>Fortnite has a sea monster<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_141855\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-141855\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-141855\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/08\/fortnite_eye_zn5pjq.jpg\" alt=\"fortnite cattus eye sea monster\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-141855\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy Epic Games<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The sea monster is only the latest development in a long and mysterious saga that began with Fortnite&#8217;s Season 8 finale. After the finale event, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/fortnite-polar-peak-godzilla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a giant eye\u00a0appeared beneath the castle at Polar Peak<\/a>, and it was clear that whatever the eye was attached to was trying to get out.\u00a0\u00a0For some time now, players have been speculating that Battle Royale will be getting some sort of massive multiplayer boss battle. Most theories seemed to imply that this frozen creature, dubbed <strong>&#8220;Cattus,&#8221;<\/strong>\u00a0would be the subject of this hypothetical fight. Some players even speculated that the monster would be part of a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/godzilla-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Godzilla<\/a> tie-in event.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_141856\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-141856\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-141856\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/08\/Fortnite_20190613091345_nflb04.jpg\" alt=\"fortnite polar peak ruins\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-141856\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy Epic Games<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Though it seems that the Godzilla theory didn&#8217;t come to fruition, the Cattus monster has finally broken free of its icy prison. The castle at Polar Peak is gone, replaced with the giant crater seen above. A trail of gigantic three-toed footprints can be seen leading from the ruins to the edge of the map near Snobby Shores, where they disappear. For a few days, it wasn&#8217;t clear where the giant monster had gone, but then the answer became clear: he went for a swim.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Fortnite: Battle Royale\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_optimized,f_auto\/p\/263a4bf9-738b-4460-a106-6dcaf2a8805b\/2343531981\/fortnite-battle-royale-Fortnite%2Fhome%2Ffn_battle_logo-1159x974-8edd8b02d505b78febe3baacec47a83c2d5215ce.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Fortnite: Battle Royale<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/fortnite-battle-royale.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download Fortnite: Battle Royale  \u25ba<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--100\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"100\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"10\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\">10<\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/fortnite-battle-royale.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"reddit-card\" ><p>      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/FortNiteBR\/comments\/byqrhv\/spotted_the_sea_monster_swimming_around_with\/?ref_source=embed&amp;ref=share\">Spotted the Sea Monster swimming around with Polar Peak<\/a> from      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/FortNiteBR\/\">FortNiteBR<\/a>    <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>    <script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.redditmedia.com\/widgets\/platform.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Eagle-eyed players spotted the Polar Peak castle floating in the distance off the coast of the island.

There doesn&#8217;t appear to be a set schedule to when and where the sea monster appears, so you&#8217;ll have to get a little lucky if you want to spot it for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, we&#8217;re about halfway done with <a href=\"http:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/fortnite-challenge-guide-maps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Season 9<\/a>, so it seems likely that whatever this mysterious creature may be, it&#8217;ll have something to do with the Season 9 finale. As more of the Fortbyte mystery gets revealed, it also seems to indicate that giant monsters will be playing a role in the events to come. Maybe Fortnite players will finally be getting that boss battle after all.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-related-articles-white\">\r\n<p class=\"sc-related-articles-white__title\">More about Fortnite<\/p>\r\n
