Arwe
Serpent-king in medieval Ethiopian mythology / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arwe (Ge’ez: አርዌ), also known as Wainaba, in Ethiopian mythology, is a serpent-king who rules for four hundred years before being destroyed by the founder of the Solomonic dynasty. His story comes in a number of versions, all of which have him as a tyrannical ruler who demands sacrifice. The myth is part of a wider tradition of serpent- or dragon-kings, such as the Babylonian dragon.
