Cryptid of the Day: Boobrie
Description: Get your mind out of the gutter, this is a giant loon. But not just any giant loon, this loon is said to have claws on the ends of its flippers, and an 18-inch beak said to resemble that of an eagle. It’s rumored to live in the Scottish Highlands, though this might just be folklore and nothing more.
Shapeshifting creatures with healthy appetites. The creatures make their homes in bodies of water, both freshwater and saltwater, across Scotland's west coast.
Faebruary 26th - Boobrie
The boobrie is a mythological shapeshifting entity inhabiting the lochs of the west coast of Scotland. It commonly adopts the appearance of a gigantic water bird resembling a cormorant or great northern diver, but it can also materialise in the form of various other mythological creatures such as a water bull.
A generally malevolent entity, the boobrie typically preys on livestock being transported on ships, but it is also fond of otters, of which it consumes a considerable number. In its manifestation as a water horse the creature is able to gallop across the top of lochs as if on solid ground. During the summer months it is seen infrequently as a large insect, sucking the blood of horses.

The boobrie is a shapeshifting, water-dwelling bird from Scottish mythology. Its most common form resembles a cormorant or great northern diver, but it can transform into any animal, as well as a number of mythological creatures.
Known to be hostile, the boobrie will attack livestock being transported by water, and will also pick off otters. It often takes on the form of a horse to travel on land, and will sometimes assume the shape of a large insect to suck the blood of horses.
