'90s Animation vs. The Loch Ness Monster

I didn't go looking for this at first, but it just kept popping up over time.
Eventually, I noticed the pattern and decided to talk about it here...

What is the deal with the Loch Ness Monster?!?

In this case, why were '90s Cartoons and Animation so obsessed with it?!?

Examples...

1) On Gargoyles (as part of the Avalon World Tour Arc), our Heroes meet the Monster and discover that Xanatos wants to control it.  One of them- Angela- befriends it.

They eventually free it, revealing their creature to actually be the baby.  This won't be the last time you see this.

2) On James Bond Jr (1991, so it counts!), we get the other version of this story-

It's a fake.

Just like on Rambo (1986, so it doesn't count!), it turns out to be a Submarine as part of the villain's ploy.

3) On The Simpsons, an Episode revolves around Mr. Burns wanting to capture and display the creature.

In a comedic twist, that doesn't work out, so Nessie gets a job at one of his Casinos.

4) On Aah, Real Monsters, Nessie is a Guest Instructor.

I mean, they are all Monsters, so why not?

5) On Godzilla: The Animated Series (following the '90s Film), the creature shows up as one of the Creatures of the Week.

Well, it is a Show about Godzilla, so of course they fight.

6) On '90s phenomenon Celebrity Death Match, we got to see a battle of two creatures...

Nessie vs. Bigfoot!

Guess who wins.

7) Lastly, we come to Extreme Dinosaurs (aka the final push I needed for this) and their Loch Ness Episode.

They hear about the creature and assume that it is a Dinosaur they can befriend (since they are stranded in the future).  So do their enemies, who try to train it to kill them.

It, of course, fails in time and Nessie's Mom shows up (that one again) to punish the bad guys.

I think I got all of the major ones.  Let me know if I missed any and feel free to tell me why this obsession happened.

In the meantime, I may go shopping...

You think I'm joking too...
