Afanc

Picture from Paranormal Animals of Europe

The Afanc (Crocodylus cymri) is an Awakened crocodile. It typically grows to a length of 4.5 meters and weighs around 375 kilograms. It resembles a crocodile save for the webbed feet and large flat tail that resembles a beaver's.

It is a carnivore of exceptional cunning, and while they live in semi-social groups of up to six, they tend to be solitary hunters. They have a remarkable, almost magical, ability to detect prey within their territory, and often use tactics which bury their prey under water, drowning it while it struggles under the tremendous strength of the Afanc's jaws.

The Afanc is indigenous to Wales and to parts of eastern Europe.
