- from our Affiliates
The Scitalis or Scytale is a serpent from Medieval bestiaries, such as the Aberdeen Bestiary, supposed to have such marvelous markings on its back that its appearance would stun the viewer, slowing the person down so that they could be caught. Its bodily heat was so great that it shed its skin even in the winter Aberdeen Bestiary collection. Digital collage elaboration by Bulgan Lumini (c) from Ancient Medieval miniatures,
