Not really since we enter their realm and they give us what for. This is more akin to walking to the local shop for a snack and getting scooped up and carried away by a giant eagle
It's a creature that comes from an environment where we cannot survive, and drags us back into its realm to eat us. I was thinking more the kraken, but maybe 'space cthulhu'-type aliens work too.
Don't think Bigfoot is a particularly violent chap? Maybe a Wendigo might be a better match.

as per Wikipedia, that bird (cinclus cinclus) eats insects, not fish

Why is it underwater then?
edit: ahhhh shit there's insects in the water! I'm dumb

I'm willing to bet that if I were a fish and swam next to it, that motherfucker would try to peck out my eyes and eat them

Not even for sustenance. Just out of principle

From the French Wikipedia page, it goes against the current, using its wings, body and tail to force it to the bottom of the river.

Not to mention their food might be a trap, too, and next thing you know you're stuck on a line with a barbed hook in your face

The Dipper is one of the only songbirds that actually swims and dives fully underwater.

Speak for yourself! Last time I went for a walk to get a snack at the local shop, I got scooped up by a giant shark and carried back to the water!

That one’s more like we climb into their dinner bowl dressed as food and start flapping our limbs around.

Yeah, they don't want to eat you, they mistake you for food.

I can so see this bird's evolution going water-based if given enough time.

So is this is the fish equivalent of Bigfoot? Or like space aliens?

Someone said this bird eats insects, so it's not violent for the fish at least.
