What is Typhon?

Question

I have heard many conflicting views of Typhon. Firstly is he a dragon, giant, or demon? Secondly how does he look?

Answer 1

Typhon is the son of Gaia and has been described as both a giant a titan and a dragon. He often has numerous hands and a hundred heads composed of leapords, lins, serpents, bulls, and one man head. From the thighs down he has serpent legs.

Answer 2

He was actually the last son of Gaia. He tried to get the trone away from Zeus and place himself as ruler of gods and men but Zeus defeated him and crushed mount Etna on him. He was a Titan, described to be the most grotesque creature that ever lived. He had 100 serpent heads, that's it, that is pretty much the description you will find in the internet.
