Guivre

Common card · No. 366116

Guivre (or givre) and vouivre are French names for a type of serpentine mythical creature, by extension a dragon, by some accords, equivalent to a lindworm or wyvern. The names can be used synonymously for the same creature, the former deriving from the latter, or refer to different but similar mythological creatures depending on the myth. In legend they are portrayed as serpentine creatures who possessed venomous breath and prowled the countryside of Medieval France.
