The Dard (meaning "forked tongue"), also known as the Cat-Headed snake, is a creature in French folklore, especially in the department of Vienne. It is somewhat similar to the Tatzelwurm.

Description[]

The Dard had a lizard-like body with a short tail like a viper. It had a cat-like head and a mane extending down its back. The dard was not venomous but bites ferociously and hisses loudly. It was said to suck the udders of cow and drink the milk.

Explanation[]

The Dard may be popular folklore regarding the slow worm (Anguis fragilis fragilis), a legless lizard native to Europe, or the European glass lizard (Ophisaurus apodus).
