Question

This creature dies after falling into a lake that begins to “throw and shoot forth… flames.” This creature, which represents people who talk during Mass in one interpretation, is “white as… fallen snow, bigger than a hare but smaller than a fox” in a less common (15[1])description of it. In one novel, a man constantly shows the fewmets of this creature, which pines away when Grummore Grummursum convinces him to leave it. This creature, which killed 11 sons of Esclabor, (15[1])is also (15[1])known as the (15[1])(*) glatisant. (10[2])After her brother rejects her advances, (10[1])a princess sleeps with the Devil to have that brother killed and subsequently gives birth to this creature. (10[1]-5[1])The baying of thirty hounds (10[1])emanates (10[1])from the belly of this creature. Giraffes may have inspired this creature, which has the head of a (10[1])snake, body of a leopard, and the feet of a hart. For 10 points, Palamedes took over the hunt for what creature from King Pellinore? ■END■ (10[1]0[1])
