Cloverfield Skeleton

In 2008, a gigantic animal of unkown origin appeared in Manhattan and by virtue of its enormous size and disorientation, proceeded to destroy large portions of the metropolitan area. Codenamed "Cloverfield" by the United States Department of Defence (DOD), extensive footage of the creature's actions has been recovered from numerous citizens and professional photojournalists.  Between its actions, and the subsequent attacks by apparently parasitic, tick-like creatures that fell off the larger being, many citizens were killed and a full evacuation of the city was ordered. Whether the larger animal is something that originated due to mutation caused by radiation from a crashed satellite, or it represents an organism that was lying dormant on the sea floor for millenia remains uncertain. It is also very likely that this animal is merely a juvenile as indicated by its relatively short face, large eyes, clumsy, awkward movement, and spindly appendages. What and where the adult may be is unknown. The scale bar here is an estimate and may need changing. Thanks for looking as always!
