Banyoles monster Banyoles monster The Banyoles monster is a legendary monster, possibly a dragon, from the Lake of Banyoles in Catalonia, Spain. According to the legend, the Banyoles monster lives in the Banyoles Lake in Girona of northern eastern Spain hundreds years of ago. In the eighth century, a French monk named St. Emeterio coaxed the beast from the lake using prayers and transformed the creature into a peaceful herbivore.
