Welsh Myths & Monsters

Llamhigyn Y Dwr – The Water leaper

The Welsh Water Leaper is a creature that can be seen gliding across the water in swamps, lakes and pools. Described as a large frog or toad with bat-like wings and horns, the adolescents have long lizard-like tails. Llamhigyn are tricksy creatures and often snap fishing lines and prey on livestock like chickens.

They are fond of shiny objects and will collect them and attch them to their backs to impress each other.
