Lou Carcolh

The Lou Carcolh is a giant monster from French myth. It’s thought to live in a cave beneath the town of Hastingue, France. It is described as a combination of snail and serpent, with a large shell on its back, and long, hairy tentacles. These tentacles could stretch out beyond the horizon, and it uses these to snatch people up and pull them into its mouth. It is thought to leave a trail of slime, and none would dare to follow it.
