My medieval bestiary is a serpantahorse, because of the strong resemblance it has with the serpent and the horse.

The serpantahorse is a large creature. It lives in a forest, with lots of hills and bodies of water for it needs to drink at least 51 gallons of water a day to survive. The serpanta-horse is a peaceful creature. It has no enemies or predators. Its bright colors scare away any animals that would threaten it in any way.

The serpantahorse is a herbivore, which means it eats only plants. A serpantahorse will travel with a herd until it is about 80 years old. It will then leave the herd and wander alone. The average life span of a serpantahorse is about 180 years. In the last 2 years of its life, the serpantahorse will begin to die slowly, but without pain.

Serpantahorses are considered to be leaders of the forest, so when one dies, a moment of silence washes over the land.

Serpantahorses have wings so they can fly to new places when food becomes scarce. Their serpent tail helps them slither up trees to the branches. This is where it sleeps for about 5 hours.

The serpantahorse is a truly unique creature and will continue to live on in our imaginations for as long as our mind creates.
