The Tazelwurm is a dragonesque cryptid native native to the Alps in Europe, especially in Switzerland. It's 1 to 7 feet long, with some number of feet between 2 and 6 and with a catlike face. It's blood is acid, in some accounts one drop is enough to kill you.

The earliest story associated with a Tazelwurm is that of Heinrich von Winkelried from, the 14th century. Heinrich was exiled from his town, but got the promise of a pardon if he killed the dragon rampaging the area. He succeeded but the blood of the creature killed him. The earliest modern era came from Hans Fuchs, who saw two and reported the incident to his family before succumbing to a heart attack.

Few people believe the Tazelwurm exists as stated, but some believe it is a known animal not know to be native to the area. The gila monster is a common suspect.

Takeaway: A cryptid is something where it's not supposed to be.
