yamata_no_orochi
A gigantic serpent (or dragon) in Japanese mythology with eight tails, eight heads, and glowing red eyes.
Susanoo-no-Mikoto (the Shinto god of the sea) tricked the serpent into getting drunk off sake and cut up it into pieces with his Ame-no-Habakiri sword. Later he found the Sword of Kusanagi in one of the orochi's tails.
