Duboisia santeng is a rare example of a prehistoric animal which was both named after a cryptid, AND was earnestly connected with that cryptid by its discoverer. Eugene Dubois named it after the santeng, an alleged tiny buffalo with chilli-shaped horns.

English translation of the article here. Before screaming "Con rit!" or "Scolopendra!", It should be noted that the Great white shark seem to have been called 새우상어(Saeu-sangeo) locally, so there is a possiblity that the reporter had simply mistaken this for 새우(Saeu, "Shrimp").
