Campe

A female monster in Greek mythology, Campe ("crooked") guarded the Hecatonchires and Cyclopes in Tartarus after Cronus imprisoned them there; she was killed by Zeus when he rescued his uncles for help in the Titanomachy. Campe was a sphinx-like drakaina female dragon with a tail resembling that of a scorpion.
