The Yamata no Orochi is a eight-headed and eight-tailed serpentine monster in Japanese Mythology, similar in appearance to the Lernaean Hydra but with one less (or alternately, one more) head. According to Shinto legend, the Orochi was defeated by the storm god Susano-o, who answered a request for aid by two earthly deities who were forced by the Orochi to hand over one of their daughters every year to be devoured by the beast, and were now down to their eighth and last one, Princess Kushinada. Just to distinguish the tale from Western dragon slaying myths, Susano-o first lured the Orochi out by disguising himself as Kushinada, and then killed it by setting out a bowl of strong sake for each head, letting it drink itself into a stupor, then lopping them off. Inside Orochi's body Susano-o found the sword Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi ("Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven") that was later re-named "Kusanagi" ("Grass Cutter"), and is one of Japan's Three Sacred Treasures.
