Description
A narrowness from the mythology of Ancient and Medieval Europe. A small mythical non-flying snake (or dragon), most often with wings, and sometimes with front paws. It is also known by the names "snake-spear", because according to the representations, it hid in the branches of trees and rushed from there at passing animals with such force that it pierced them like a spear.
