Mélusine.
La Bête du Gévaudan
A fearsome dragon with a defensively strong body and a vicious temperament. It was quickly tamed under the holy water and cross carried by Saint Martha, led back to town, and then killed by the townsfolk.
St. Martha of Bethany capturing the Tarasque.

3th day of #mermay MEDIEVAL So I drew Melusine, a mythical and legendary figure of the Middle Ages. From wiki: according to the legend, the melusine should marry a knight on condition of a particular taboo: not to be seen in their true form, that of a water fairy, with a fish or snake's tail, instead of the legs.
