The Dobhar-chú is a creature of Irish folklore and a cryptid.

1. Dobhar
Chu

2. He looks like a hound and an otter, it is white
and he has got a black cross in the back. Its
length is about seven feet long, like a crocodile,
so he is called also the Irish crocodile. They are
migratory, not living in the lake all the year.

3. The Dobhar Chu is a mythical lake monster that
has inhabited the lakes of the British Islands since
ancient times.
The name means ‘water hound’, or ‘hound of the
deep’ because his appearance is like a dog and he
lives in the lakes of Ireland.
People describe him as a blood-thirsty and
gruesome hound who lives deep in the water,
waiting for his next victim.
This monster hound is known for its speed,
aggression and appetite for human flesh.

4. There are usually two of these creatures, and
when one is killed, its mate will swim up from
the depths of the water and avenge its
oppressor. This happens because, when the
Dobhar Chu is about to die, it gives off an eerie
high-pitched whistle to warn its mate.

5. In Ireland a man has got a hideous story about the
Dobhar Chu. He said that one day, his wife was doing
the laundry near the lake when she screamed. The man
went quickly to his wife with his shotgun. When he
arrived, his wife was dead and she was being eaten by
a Dobhar Chu. The man shot the Dohbar Chu and he
killed it. Then, the dead Dubhar Chu gave off an eerie
high-pitched whistle which was a warning for its mate.
The second Dohbar Chu appeared from the depth of
the lake and tried to kill the man. After ten minutes of
a bloody battle, the man won because he had a
weapon.
The man said that the Dobhar Chu almost killed him.

6. So, if you have a meeting with the gruesome
Duhbar Chu, run and try to save yourself.
Good Luck, because you’ll
need it
