Bunyip

The bunyip is a large beast that lives in murky, shallow waters. There are two varieties of bunyip, one that looks like a mix between a seal and a dog, and one that looks like an emaciated horse. The seal-dog variety closely resembles a large, swimming cat or dog, four to six feet long, with black fur and whiskers like a seal’s. It has a round head like a bulldog’s, prominent ears, and no tail. The horse variety is between 5 and 15 feet long and has black fur, large ears, small tusks, the head of a horse, a 3 foot long maned neck, and a horse-like tail. Both varieties of bunyip are nocturnal and amphibious. They also have a loud, roaring call and possess a diet consisting mainly of crayfish, though they will eat humans if they come too close to the bunyip’s territory.
