Something I doodled in Photoshop at the public library earlier this year, loosely based on the Stollenwurm (aka Tatzelwurm) of European folklore.

-Tatzelwurm, Cat-faced serpents-

Also known as a Stollenwurm or Stollwurm, it’s a draconic creature from Alpine folklore, appearing as a serpent with the head of a cat. This strange creature is described as having boar-like bristles running down its back, being able to communicate using hissing sounds and having a dangerous venomous breath. They were believed to live hidden in mountain tunnels, but coming out to to suck milk from cows in farms near their dens when hungry, especially during hot weather.
