A formidable animal from the folklore of North American lumberjacks.

The Billdad lives only around the Boundary Pond, in northwestern Maine. A fish-eating animal, it hunts, waiting in grassy areas with many insects. When the fish comes to the surface to try to eat the beetle, Billdad jumps over it with amazing speed and hits his tail hard enough to stun the fish, which the creature eats shortly after. The sound is similar to rowing, and canoe is sometimes confused with Billdad, and vice versa.

It is described to have been the size of a beaver, with long kangaroo-like hind legs, short forelegs, webbed feet and a heavy hawk's beak. He has a very fast and powerful jump, as well as a strong tail. It is reported that they jumped about 60 yards. Billdad is not designed to attack people (or anything bigger than himself).

Billdad meat is poisonous in a sense, so no one wants to eat it anymore. However, one of the messages reported that the dead Billdad washed up on the shore, and the cook cooked food from him, which was eaten by a certain Bill Murphy. However, as soon as the man ate the meat, he felt sick, his eyes dimmed, and he ran outside and imitated Billdad (this part is most likely exaggerated by the locals).
