Culebre

A kind of dragon from Cantabrian mythology. It is a beast with bright eyes, a broad head, and powerful jaws lined with enormous fangs.

The culebre has claws and bat wings, and its crest runs along its entire spine down to its tail.

Like all dragons, it breathes fire and sulfur from its mouth. It typically dwells on cliffsides, where it guards treasures hidden by the Moors.

Catching sight of a culebre is extremely difficult, as venturing into its caves is highly dangerous. The beast can devour an entire cow, or perhaps even a maiden.
