It is a beast with bright eyes, a broad head, and powerful jaws lined with enormous fangs.<p></p>&#10;<p>The culebre has claws and bat wings, and its crest runs along its entire spine down to its tail.</p>&#10;<p>Like all dragons, it breathes fire and sulfur from its mouth. It typically dwells on cliffsides, where it guards treasures hidden by the Moors.</p>&#10;<p>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.</p></div>
