GERMAN KING SNAKE

A legendary creature of Germany is an animal called the King Snake.  Not only does hold this title, it is said to actually wear a crown and other snakes are its subjets.  It is supposed to live near Flensberg (Schleswig-Holstein).  If you should manage to get hold of its crown, you will gain immortality.

This legendary creature should not, of course, be confused with the zoological king snake (Lapropeltis getulis).
