According to myth, in the 7th century a dragon rose from the waters
of the Seine River in France. Unlike the typical dragons, this one
breathes water. The monster proceeded to lay waste to the
countryside around Paris by drowning it. St. Romain, the
Archbishop of Rouen, accompanied only by a condemned prisoner,
set out to stop the beast. Upon confronting the monster, the Saint
formed a cross with his two index fingers, taming it. The dragon was
led back to Paris, where it was slain and burned. The head, however,
was saved and mounted on a building. In commemoration of this
event, architects began to design gutter spouts in the shape of the
dragon, and eventually in the shape of all manner of bizarre
creatures.
