winged serpent
Flying reptile deity
A winged serpent is a mythological creature combining a snake's body with wings, appearing across many cultures—from the feathered serpent Quetzalcoatl of Mesoamerican religion to dragons and amphisbaena of European legend.
The image merges earthbound and airborne, often representing divine or supernatural power.
In fantasy contexts, winged serpents are distinct from dragons proper, typically smaller and lacking legs.
