Legend recounts that the beast was carted here by oxen from the River #Conwy near #Betws-y-Coed. The lake monster is described variously as e.g. resembling a crocodile, beaver or dwarf-like creature, and is sometimes said to be a demon. The #Afanc preyed upon any foolish enough to fall into or swim in its lake. https://twitter.com/BeMoreSquirrel/status/1199725826465501184
