Campe (Greek)

In Greek mythology, Campe or Kampe was a female monster. She was the guard, in Tartarus, of the Cyclopes and Hecatoncheires, whom Uranus had imprisoned there. When it was prophesied to Zeus that he would be victorious in the great war against the Titans with the help of Campe's prisoners, he killed Campe, freeing the Cyclopes and Hecatoncheires, who then helped Zeus defeat Cronus.

Campe is woman-like from the upper torso and above, with the scales of a sea-monster from the chest down, with several snaky appendages, along with the parts of several other animals protruding from her body. With She had serpentine hair, fifty bestial heads arranged about her shoulders or waist, and a thousand vipers for "feet". Dark wings graced her shoulders and above her head she raised a deadly scorpion-sting.
