In Myth:
The Tatzelwurm is a cryptozoologic creature of Germanic origins with sightings spreading throughout the Alps. It is most commonly described as a sort of reptile with the face of a cat. It is described varyingly as to the number of clawed legs it possesses, if any, and as to the type of skin its long body is covered with: smooth, scaly, wart- or fur-covered. Some accounts also give it the mane of a horse.Kitten
In more archaic times, the Tatzelwurm was described as a huge dragon which watched over the woodlands it inhabited. Later, it was said it was said to live in holes, waiting for unwary prey to wander by, and then spring out for an attack. One thing always remained constant, however. Once the Tatzelwurm saw someone, it launched a snarling, whistling, flying attack of both fang and claw.
The Tatzelwurm is attributed with many skills. It can leap great distances, it is covered in scales that no weapon can pierce, and it is said also to possess a breath of either poisonous fumes or flame. When it appears, the Tatzelwurm raises itself high above its victim, giving itself a most terrifying appearance.
The name Tatzelwurm roughly translates into "Wyrm with Claws" ("wyrm" being any Northern European dragon).
