Lithuania
Naglis, The Dragon
 |
Legend has it that Neringa was a friendly and good-hearted giantess who called the coast of Lithuania home. Her beauty attracted the attention of an evil dragon Naglis, who wanted to marry her. Neringa refused the proposal which sent Naglis into a rage, stirring up storms from the sea to destroy the coastline. To protect her home and those who live among it, she tipped a strip of sand across the sea to ease the effects of the storm, forming what we know as the Curonian Spit today.
