Serpent-child of a king and queen that was locked in a secret room where he metamorphed into a dragon. There he was offered all comforts, but he refused all and his screams of hunger finally attracted the daughter of a chamberlain. She was immediately devoured and the staff searched the countryside for more maidens, who were then lowered through a hole in the ceiling. Finally, the beautiful Areuhat was lowered, but the room became silent. The king looked in and saw the maiden and a beautiful young man sitting calmly. The birth curse was broken and the two were married.
