The Vouivre is a hybrid monster in French mythology.
Description
The Vouivre is an enormous female beast with shining green scales which gives off a low and strange musical sound as she flies. She wears a crown of pearls and a gold circlet on her tail which also ring. But most strange of all is her dragon's head with its one great and glowing ruby eye. This luminouse orb she removes when she bathes, making herself blind for just those minutes.
Behavior
The Vouivre dwells in a cave and can breathe fire. It guards the treasure and devours people who come to stealth the treasure. In other versions, she lived in a river.
