🧬 Beaver-crocodile hybrid, aquatic

⚠️ Danger: 6.5

The Afanc is a lake-dwelling monster from Welsh mythology, believed to inhabit Llyn yr Afanc in Snowdonia. Often described as a mix between a beaver, crocodile, and demon, it was said to cause floods by thrashing about in the water, sometimes even killing those who disturbed it. Legends recount attempts to trap and relocate the beast, including one tale where it was dragged out of the lake by a maiden and chained by King Arthur. The Afanc symbolizes the chaos of nature and the dangers hidden beneath calm waters.
