Melusine – mythical humanoid serpent transformed into a dragon
Melusine is a water spirit from French folklore and an example of human–animal marriage as well as princess Toyotama (See) in the East. She is a humanoid hybrid whose upper body is that of a beautiful woman in medieval costume, but whose lower body is that of a snake, and is also said to be a dragon nymph, as she has dragon wings on her back. She is also sometimes thought to be associated with mermaid lore. The Starbucks logo is also inspired by her.
Mélusine was the daughter of Pressine, the Fountain Fay, and Elinas, King of Albany, Scotland. Her mother placed a curse on Mélusine and her sisters that for one day a week they would assume the form of a snake from the waist down. Furthermore, if anyone saw them in their true form, they would be permanently remain forever the lower body of a snake and with wings.
Raymondin, Count of Poitou, who had left his family after accidentally killing his uncle, while hunting in the forest, met Melusine one day, fell in love and married her after making a covenant that he would never look at her on Saturdays. She brought her husband wealth and they had ten children. 
However, when her husband heard a malicious rumour, he broke his promise and saw Melusine's true identity while she was bathing. Locked alone in her room, her upper body was human, but her lower body was that of a giant snake (or fish). She then assumes the form of a dragon, provides him with two magic rings, and flies off, never to be seen again. She returns only at night to nurse her two youngest children, who are still infants. Although many of Melusine's children had the nature of monsters, it is said that the future French monarch stood from the lineage of two children born normal.
Melusine's sons:
Julian (said to have later become King of Cyprus)
Eudes (whose appearance and face appear to be on fire)
Guy (said to have later become king of Armenia)
Antoine (with a lion's foot growing out of one cheek)
Renault (with one eye)
Geoffroy (with one large tusk)
Fromont (with a hair-covered birthmark on his nose)
Olivre (with three eyes)

メリュジーヌ 〜竜に変身した神話上の人型蛇の妖精
メリュジーヌは、フランスの民間伝承に登場する水の精霊で、東洋の豊玉姫(参照)と同様に異類婚姻の一例である。上半身は中世の衣装をまとった美しい女性の姿だが、下半身は蛇の姿をしており、背中に竜の翼が生えていることから竜の妖精とも言われている、人型のハイブリッド。また、人魚の伝承と結びつけて考えられることもある。スターバックスのロゴにもなっている。 
メリュジーヌは、泉の妖精プレッシナとスコットランドのオルバニー王エリナスの娘である。母親はメリュジーヌと妹達に、週に1日だけ腰から下が蛇の姿となるという呪いをかけた。さらに、もし変身した姿を誰かに見られた場合には、永久に下半身が蛇で翼を持った姿のままとなってしまう。 
ポワトゥー伯爵のレイモンダンは、誤って叔父を殺してしまったために家を出ていたが、ある日メルジーヌに出会って恋に落ち、メルジーヌは「土曜日には絶対に自分を見ない」という誓約を交わして彼と結婚した。メリュジーヌは夫に富をもたらし、10人の子供をもうけた。 
しかし、悪意のある噂を聞いた夫は誓いを破り、入浴中のメリュジーヌの正体を目撃してしまう。部屋にひとり閉じこめられた彼女の上半身は人間だったが、下半身は巨大な蛇(または魚)のものだった。 そして彼女は竜の姿になり、夫に2つの魔法の指輪を与えると飛び去り、二度と姿を現すことはなかった。彼女は、まだ幼い二人の末っ子に授乳するために夜だけ戻ってくる。メリュジーヌの子供達の多くは化け物の性質を持っていたものの、問題なく生まれた2人の子供の血統からは、後のフランス君主が立ったという。 
メリュジーヌの息子たち: 
ユリアン(後にキプロスの王になったという)
ウード(外見と顔が炎のように燃えて見える)
ギイ(後にアルメニアの王になったという)
アントワーヌ(片頬に獅子の足が生えている)
ルノー(一つ目)
ジョフロワ(大牙が一本あり)
フロモン(鼻の上に毛で覆われたアザがある)
オリブル(三つ目)

Reptilian humanoids (11)
Mucalinda – Serpent-like beings who protected meditating Buddha from the storm.
Mucalinda (Muchalinda) is one of the Nagarajas (serpent or dragon kings) of Indian mythology. In the Buddhist Mucalinda Sutta, he is said to have adopted the human form and taken refuge in the Buddha. 
On one occasion, the Gautama Buddha (Ref) meditated under a certain Bodhi tree, which was inhabited by Mucalinda. Mucalinda realised Buddha's greatness and continued to quietly watch over him.
It is said that six weeks after Gautama Buddha began meditating under the Bodhi tree, the heavens darkened for seven days, and a prodigious rain descended. However, the mighty King of Serpents, Mucalinda, wrapped his own body around Buddha in seven coils and protected with his hood, the One who is the source of all, from the wind and rain for about seven days.
When the great storm had cleared, the serpent king assumed his human form, bowed before the Buddha, and taken refuge in the Buddha.

ムカリンダ 〜 暴風雨から瞑想中のブッダを守った蛇のような存在   
ムカリンダ (ムチャリンダ) とは、インド神話に登場するナーガラージャ(蛇神または龍神の諸王) の一人。仏教の『ムカリンダ・スッタ』では、ブッダに帰依したとされる。
ある時、ゴータマ・ブッダ(参照)はとある菩提樹の木の下で瞑想をしたが、そこにはムカリンダが棲んでいた。ムカリンダはブッダの偉大さに気づき、静かに見守り続けた。
ブッダが瞑想を始めてから6週間後、天は7日間暗くなり、激しい嵐が起こり大豪雨が降ったと言われている。しかし、最強の蛇の王ムカリンダは、自らの体を7回巻きにブッダに巻きつけ、約7日間に渡り雨風からすべての守護の源である者を自分の首のフードで守った。ブッダが瞑想を終え、空が晴れた後、ムカリンダは若者の姿になり、ブッダの前で頭を下げ、仏陀に帰依した。

I've been very busy with this new event getting as many g1 hybrids as I can. I've gotten 2 Xmas dragons as well but I'm trading all sorts of things for g1 hybrids. Even the more common / easier to get ones. :3 I'm trying to get 2 of every hybrid at g1 so I can hopefully trade with my friends and build a Neat/Noble tree of truly pure hybrids.
