Untitled[edit]

This needs to have better referencing. And I'm not sure what www.cryptology.com is, but it doesn't sound like a completely credible source

Dobhar-Chu[edit]

The Dobhar-Chu is a "real" animal, by real I mean crypto or mythological, not a wikipedia prank. I've seen it in several places. However, the DbC is more of a mythological animal than a cryptozoological one. It has more in common with a manticore or a hydra, being an ancient mythical monster, than a more modern one like Nessie or Bigfoot.Metalraptor (talk) 03:41, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Corcoran "Sighting"[edit]

Removed from the article:

Most recently in 2003 Irish artist Sean Corcoran and his wife claim to have witnessed a Dobhar-chú on Omey Island in Connemara, County Galway. In his description the large dark creature made a haunting screech, could swim fast and had orange flipper like feet.^[1]^[2]

Nowhere in either of those sources does it specify "Dobhar-chú", or anything that obviously implies the legend.--tronvillain (talk) 20:47, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like someone re-added Corcoran at some point, but again, nowhere does it specify "Dobhar-chú", or anything that obviously implies the legend. --tronvillain (talk) 19:38, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite[edit]

In case anyone gets trigger happy with AfD, this can absolutely be rewritten with a multitude of reliable sources as a folklore article, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. --tronvillain (talk) 19:09, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I concur. This is one of the articles that I didn't send to AfD because it's a reasonably well-sourced piece of folklore. –dlthewave ☎ 20:00, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relationship with the Sea Cat[edit]

Is it possible this beast was the inspiration for the Cat Mara (Sea Cat) in Flann O'Brien's An Béal Bocht? Rhythdybiau (talk) 22:03, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
