Named Glatisant, or the “Barking Beast,” this strange creature is pursued by King Pellinore. It has never been known to attack when pursued, simply outpacing and avoiding all pursuit.
The Questing Beast is said to have the head and neck of a snake, the body of a leopard, the haunches of a lion, and the feet of a hart. The ghostly sound of hounds comes from inside the belly of the Questing Beast.
