Peluda

The Peluda in Spanish, or La Velue ('The Hairy One') originally in French, is a mythical beast that terrorized the environs of the River Huisne, France, during the Middle Ages. It is called "The Shaggy Beast (The Hairy Beast) of La Ferté-Bernard" in English translation. The supposed serpent-headed creature had a body covered in long green fur with poison-tipped spines protruding. It caused floods (or shot out fire from its mouth) that destroyed crops, devoured livestock and humans, and struck humans and animals dead with its tail. It was defeated after it tried to prey upon a maiden named l'Agnelle; her fiancé slew it by delivering a sword-strike to the tail, its only weak spot.

The outer shell of the final boss of SquareSoft's Chrono Trigger, Lavos, resembles the Peluda. The Peluda also appears in The Secret Saturdays. ==See also== Gargouille Tarasque ==Explanatory notes== ==References== Citations Bibliography 3p , under "La Velue, monstre de la Vallée de l'Huisne".
