This needs to have better referencing. And I'm not sure what www.cryptology.com is, but it doesn't sound like a completely credible source

Dobhar-Chu
The Dobhar-Chu is a "real" animal, by real I mean crypto or mythological, not a wikipedia prank. I've seen it in several places. However, the DbC is more of a mythological animal than a cryptozoological one. It has more in common with a manticore or a hydra, being an ancient mythical monster, than a more modern one like Nessie or Bigfoot.Metalraptor (talk) 03:41, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Corcoran "Sighting"
Removed from the article: "Most recently in 2003 Irish artist Sean Corcoran and his wife claim to have witnessed a Dobhar-chú on Omey Island in Connemara, County Galway. In his description the large dark creature made a haunting screech, could swim fast and had orange flipper like feet."

Nowhere in either of those sources does it specify "Dobhar-chú", or anything that obviously implies the legend.--tronvillain (talk) 20:47, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Looks like someone re-added Corcoran at some point, but again, nowhere does it specify "Dobhar-chú", or anything that obviously implies the legend. --tronvillain (talk) 19:38, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Rewrite
In case anyone gets trigger happy with AfD, this can absolutely be rewritten with a multitude of reliable sources as a folklore article, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. --tronvillain (talk) 19:09, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

I concur. This is one of the articles that I didn't send to AfD because it's a reasonably well-sourced piece of folklore. –dlthewave ☎ 20:00, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Relationship with the Sea Cat
Is it possible this beast was the inspiration for the Cat Mara (Sea Cat) in Flann O'Brien's An Béal Bocht? Rhythdybiau (talk) 22:03, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
