In Irish folklore, the Dobhar-chu (say durra-ghoo) is the king of all otters, the seventh cub of an ordinary otter. It is said to be much larger than a normal otter, and it never sleeps. It is completly a white pelt, with only black ears, tail tuft and a black cruciform mark along its back. The king of all otters is so magical that an inch of its fur will protect a man from being killed by gunshot, stop a boat from sinking or stop a horse from being injured. The Dobhar-chu is also oftebn said to be accompained by a court of ordinary otters.
