Geocache Description:




T"he Peluda (sometimes called the "Shaggy Beast" or "La Velue" which is French for "Hairy One") is a dragon that terrorised La Ferté-Bernard, France, in medieval times. It is said to have come from and lived near The Huisne River.

The Peluda was said to be much like a typical dragon with the addition of numerous spikes projecting from all over its body. All of the stinger-tipped tentacles that decorated this dragon's hide could easily be erected into extremely poisonous quills at will. It had a snake-like scaley head, neck and tail with very large tortoise like feet. The noticeable spikes that were the main feature of this green monster gave it a very hairy and shaggy appearance. It was said that the Peluda could fire off it's poisonous quills like arrows and it was also capable of spitting acid, as well as the standard dragon ability of breathing fire.
This beast was so dreadful that it was said to have been denied access to Noah’s Ark. Yet it survived the biblical flood and took refuge in a cave near the Huisne River. After many years, it made its presence known by withering crops with its searing breath and terrorizing the surrounding countryside by killing livestock and humans. This monstrous dragon would also disfigure the countryside by trampling into rivers and creating devastating floods. It was finally defeated after it killed a man's fiancée. He tracked it down and cut off its tail. This was the only vulnerable point on the beast, and it died immediately.
