Known as the Dragon of Colchis or the Colchian Dragon this immense serpent, a child of Typhon and Echidna, guarded the Golden Fleece at Colchis, a sacred grove to Ares. It was said to never sleep, rest, or lower its vigilance. It was able to breathe fire. According to Ovid's ''Metamorphoses'', the monster had a crest and three tongues. If spread out, the dragon was said to be longer than a fifty oared longship.

When Jason went to retrieve the Fleece, the witch Medea put the dragon to sleep with her magic and drugs, or perhaps Orpheus lulled it to sleep with his lyre. Afterwards, Medea herself had dragons pull her chariot.
