In Greek mythology, Echidna is also known as the mother of all mythological monsters. Heracles' killing of Echidna's children caused her great distress, and she and Typhoeus decided to go after the gods of Mount Olympus as Zeus was eventually blamed as it was his offspring who did the killing. Despite Echidna's ordeal, Zeus was able to treat her with a great amount of mercy, and he let her go back to her cave in Arima. Some sources claim that Echidna will live in the cave forever, while others claim that the giant Argus Panoptes killed her while she was sleeping.

In a mythological story about Echidna, the monster was said to be a threat to people who were passing through her cave. Despite this, the presence of Echidna is still useful to explain the various mythological creatures that are featured in various stories.

Regardless of whether or not Echidna is a male or female, she is typically described as a combination of a deadly serpent and a beautiful nymph. Her lower body was made up of either a single or double serpent tail, while her upper body was feminine. Echidna also reportedly had other characteristics that are considered to be very menacing, such as eating raw flesh.
