The Wawel Dragon - a photo on Flickriver

The Wawel Dragon

            This MOC is part of a Polish Legends collab done together with other Zbudujmy To members and friends.

The Wawel Dragon is one of the most well known Polish legends. It tells a story about a dragon which resided in cave in Kraków. It terrorised the local community, ate all animals it could find and, occasionally, people. Many warriors had been defeated trying to beat the beast.

Then a young shoemaker named Skuba appeared with a brilliant idea to defeat the dragon. He crafted a figure of a sheep and filled it with sulphur. The dragon, of course, ate it. But the food turned out to be a bit too spicy for its taste. It desperately started to drink water from the river. It drank more, and more, and more... Until it exploded into a thousand pieces.

The dragon is an unofficial symbol of Kraków up to this day. There is a real cave called Dragon's Cave under the castle hill, which you can visit.
