[ Return to European Dragons ]
Location:
Germanic/Teutonic Area, Europe
Description:
This dragon guarded a hoard of gold. Hurnen Sifrit decided to slay the
dragon, and take the treasure. He hid himself in a covered pit, and when
Drachenstien passed above it, plunged
his sword into the dragon's unprotected belly. After killing Drachenstein,
Hurnen loaded the treasure onto his horse, and left.
This story probably has the same origins as that of Sigurd and Fafnir.
