In Welsh folklore, the Abhac (also spelled Addanc, Adanc, Afanc, Avanc, Abac, Addane) is a lake monster described as resembling a combination of a crocodile, beaver, or dwarf. Which lake it resides in depends on the locality, with the locations being: Llyn Llion, Llyn Barfog, Llyn yr Afanc. It would attack anyone who swam in the waters of its lake. One local myth has it causing a flood from thrashing around in the lake, drowning all inhabitants of the isle of Britain except for 2 people, Dwyfan & Dwyfach, who repopulated the British Isles (a fable likely generated from a Welsh town trying to localize the story of Adam and Eve and the Biblical Flood). When the Abhac is out of its watery environment, it can easily be killed.
