In medieval literature, the ichneumon or echinemon was the enemy of the dragon. When it sees a dragon, the ichneumon covers itself with mud, and closing its nostrils with its tail, attacks and kills the dragon. The ichneumon was also considered by some to be the enemy of the crocodile and the asp, and attack them in the same way. The name was used for the pharaoh's rat, mongoose, or Egyptian mongoose (Herpestes ichneumon), which attacks snakes; it can also mean otter.

  • En la literatura medieval, l'ichneumon o echinemon era l'enemic del drac. Quan veia un drac, l'ichneumon es cobria de fang i tapava els seus orificis nasals amb la seva cua, i l'atacava i el matava. Alguns consideren que també era enemic del cocodril i l'escurçó, i els atacava de la mateixa mantera. La paraula grega traduïda com "ichneumon" va ser el nom utilitzar per designar la rata del Faraó (en anglès, pharaoh's rat), mangosta o mangosta egípcia, la qual atacava les serps. També vol dir llúdria. (ca)
