Have to go with the whales. Hell, largest creature on the planet, even the submarines are wary of them.
There's an old Danish whaling story of a narwhal that was caught around Greenland in the 1930's... when they got the guy back to port and cut him up he had a wooden harpoon buried inside the hide. The last wooden harpoons used around Greenland was in about 1870 or so. So we have an animal that can carry around a bullet the size of my goddam arm for sixty years and do all the stuff whales do in the meantime... like piss submarines off, invent low frequency communication, have a bunch of other whales, just be generally big and impressive.
Yep, whales. None of this 'whalesong in the moonlight, such spiritual grandiose in the moonlight' nonsense, these guys pretty much own the ocean.
Coolest animal?

64Left to right, in tramp stamp position (at the small of the back).
I like the idea of people seeing my tattoo, figuring it's going to be a fairy or butterfly or Celtic knot, and then having it be a fucking narwhal with a diver tailing it for no good reason.

65Not a bad idea, I guess. Folk see a goddam narwhal, they'll back the hell away up there, palms all raised up in a kind of defensive gesture, don't want no trubble here, sorry for your time missy, no hard feelins y'understand?

66Kinda what that diver's all tryin' for 'fore he gets his clock cleaned o' that tail...

67The Basilisk better known as the Jesus Lizard
Some of them can run across the entire length of the English Channel & in some extreme cases, are known to traverse thro-ugh & fro entire depths of the English channel.
They have evolved/devolved directly from the T-rex. One drop of their venom is enough to paralyze 3 elephants for 6 hours therefore 1 elephant can be paralyzed for 18 hours. They are also known to use their hands/claws/paws and run on water for long distances during the mating season. They are also one of the few species in the animal kingdom which engage in sex for pleasure.
