Peist

Name: Peist, Peiste

Type: Mythical

Region: Ireland

Description: Water monsters described as snakes, serpents, or dragons

Myth: N/A

Facts:

Peist are the dragons of Ireland, said to be aquatic creatures.

Many Peist are associated with Saint Patrick, who was said to banish the snakes and serpent from Ireland.

Despite this belief, there’s no proof of their ever being any snakes in Ireland.

Ollipeist was a Peist who was originally benevolent, but became hostile after hearing about Saint Patrick banishing all the others. He devoured a drunk, who played songs in his stomach, until the dragon was forced to spit him back up and flee Ireland.

His tail carved the Shannon Valley.

Lig-na-Paiste, whose name means “Last Great Reptile,” managed to escape Saint Patrick. However, Saint Murrough managed to trap the serpent in his pool.
