Tatzelwurm
The tatzelwurm (“paw-serpent”) is a legendary creature from the Alps. It has a broad snake-like body, a cat-like head, and a variable number of legs depending on the legend. Although covered in scales, it usually has a crest of bristles running down its spine. Its breath and bite carry deadly venom. Alternative names include stollenwurm (“tunnel serpent”), bergstutz (“mountain stump”), and praazlewurm (“serpent with arms”).
