This is a greyscale illustration of a Tatzelwurm, a folkloric beast from the Alps area.
It's half wildcat and half lizard, with killing features close to the Basilisk: it is said to be capable of eliminating its victims with only an eyesight, or with its stink or even with its breath.
This piece it's part of a new comic album by Manticora Autoproduzioni, soon to be released (during Lucca Comics 2015), called "DerKrampus", which contains several illustrations and four new stories.
