Which creature is described as half-dog and half-otter in Scottish and Irish folklore?
A Chupacabra
B Loch Ness Monster
C Dobhar-chú
Correct Answer: Dobhar-chú
Fact: The Dobhar-Chú is said to dwell in rivers and lakes, sporting fur with protective qualities. Its name, roughly translated, means ‘water hound.’ The legend of this mythical creature has been passed down through generations in the form of oral storytelling, with very few written records. Although there is no scientific evidence of its existence, there have been reports of Dobhar-Chú sightings in Ireland, some of which date back to 1684.
