Dragon of Toruń
I didn't realise that Toruń is a city with a dragon legend, so it was very intriguing to find it out.

'On August 13, 1746, foreman of carpentry Johann Georg Hieronimi and Katharina Storchin, a soldier's wife, testified in the municipal clerk in Toruń, that  in the spring of 1746 they saw a dragon. The monster was able to fly and swim, had 2 metres in length, its head and the whole body were dark grey, the tale was pale brown and shiny. Flying dragon appeared near Struga Toruńska, in the region of Przedzamcze, and flew away to Toruń castle ruins.'
