One of these creatures is always depicted opposite the bearded Gaulish god Smertrios, such as on the Pillar of the Boatmen. An Oceanian goddess who takes this creature's form is often called Julunggul or Yulunggul. The brain-eating heads of two of these creatures grow from the shoulders of a tyrant opposed by the smith Kaveh and by Fereydun in the Shahnameh; that ruler is Zahhak. When two of these creatures caressed the ears of Melampus, he gained the ability to understand animal speech. Eurydice was killed by one of these creatures, which made up the lower body of Cecrops. A mating pair of them was struck by the walking-stick of Tiresias, leading Hera to blind him. For 10 points, name this creature which is featured in the circular Ouroboros symbol biting its own legless tail.
