Just open up AmnesiaDemo/entities/enemy/waterlurker/waterlurker.dae in your favourite 3d Modeller (e.g. Blender). [Btw, nice to see how you can scare a player nearly to death by just making the enemy invisible. Nobody would be scared by a simple ball. Would be funny to paint some smiles on it, like I did with the dogs in Penumbra.]

I now realize that I have seen such a thing many times before. But what could it be?
Maybe some mutated form of Yog-Soggoth as described in the forbidden tomes in Miskatonic University in arkham. A Soggoth is a "bubbling mass" (see the dreadful pages of unfathomed wikipedia). So maybe this thing in the sewers of Brennenburg is just some distant cousin of it who came up the long way from the fabled roots of the mountains of madness.
Or I am suffering from paranoia... Ia! Shub-Niggurath! The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young!
The other monster guy looks like Dr. Herbert West has visited Brennenburg to perform some experiments. I wonder if there are any other lovecraftian horrors in this game.
Man!! I was just developing a severe case of hydrophobia, when i found out it was a ball! Nice one!

Now you've got to tell me what could be frightening in Sesame Street. It's only frightening hilarious if you're drunken. Big Grin

Well, the true origin of the "Water Horror" is revealed rather late game. I believe you find a note in the "Nave"
Spoiler below!
Agrippa's main room
It was written by Johann Weyer, explaining that the Water Horror is from the dimension of the dead. So, it's actually a dead spirit or ghastly beast from the beyond that cannot be seen by normal human eyes. So, it truly is whatever your worst nightmare is.
Spoiler below!
Weyer explains that he needs to open a portal to the other side and trap the beast in a water well to extract it's mucus in order to create the tonic to save Agrippa. Here is the note http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/2499/kaernk.jpg
Correct me if I'm wrong.

I think they did actually have an idea for a water model monster but scrapped it somewhere along the line and went with the Invisible Ball of Pain.
Spoiler below!
I'm basing my theory on this picture that's called old_fish01. It's located in the super_secret folder and it looks like it may have been a design for the water monster that never really got past the concept stage. I could also be wrong and it's actually just a random monster. We may never know.
