Description

I've always wanted to make an alphabestiary and here it is! Let's start with the Afanc.

The Afanc (Welsh pronunciation: [ˈavank] , sometimes also called Addanc, [ˈaðank] ) is a lake monster from Welsh mythology. Its exact description varies; it is described variously as resembling a crocodile, beaver or dwarf-like creature, and is sometimes said to be a demon. The lake in which it dwells also varies; it is variously said to live in Llyn Llion, Llyn Barfog, near Brynberian Bridge or in Llyn yr Afanc, a lake near Betws-y-Coed that was named after the creature. It's Death is often associated with King Arthur and in one story it rips a woman's boob off. He Thirsty!
