I had never heard of the Piasa Bird, “… a large creature with horns like a deer, red eyes, a beard like a tiger, a face like a man, body covered with green, red, and black scales and a tail so long it passed around the body, over the head, and between the legs.” This strange beast was said to have terrorized Native Americans and settlers in the St. Louis area during the 1600’s.
