[ Return to African Dragons ]
Location:
Africa, Exact location unknown
Description:
This dragon lived in a huge lake in Africa, with a town by the shore. Every year
the town gave a virgin to the dragon in return for being allowed to draw
water from the lake for a day. This water had to be stored in cisterns so
that it lasted all year.
Eventually only princess Fatouma was left to offer. A prince called Hammadi
came into the town, and hearing the princess's fate, went to the lake
shore and released her. When the dragon came out of the lake to eat her he
killed it. Later he married the princess.
