Description
It possibly has Mesoamerican, quetzacuate-like traits (a low-confidence note). It spits an acid miasma, its breath rots maize, and it can slightly control nearby vegetation. Another record makes it a manifestation of the Serpent of Paradise, able to move among the trees and to instill fear of death. With a she-dragon it fathered a smaller son. It is also named in the Canagua Valley.
History
Its accounts are fragmentary: it was held prisoner by Sequoia; it appeared by the fire during a night watch; it is part of the curse on a company since a ship was abandoned; and on another day it was defeated, and Teodora took its head to the cellar as an act of mourning.
Open questions
- Whether the prisoner, the apparition and the beheaded dragon are one creature or links in a green lineage is unresolved.
