The Questing Beast, also known as the Beast Glatisant, is a monster that appears in the legend of King Arthur. It is said to have the head and neck of a snake, the body of a leopard, the legs of a stag and the haunches of a lion. Its name comes from its distinctive cry, which is said to sound like “thirty couple hounds questing.”
The Questing Beast was first mentioned in the 13th century French text Perlesvaus, where it appears to Arthur after his son Mordred is born. He discovers that the beast is born from a human woman and a devil.
