Uglier than any known sea serpent, Quiberon had an immense dragon's head and the body of a "giant fear-fish" (whatever that might be). He had whiskers, and a lock of silver hair between his horns; he had a glittering tail, and his tusks were red. His eyes glowed in the dark. He breathed flames from his nostrils, and produced sulfurous black smoke. He could control this smoke precisely enough to generate a sort of sky writing as a means of communication.
