The Piasa (/ˈpaɪ.əsɔː/ PY-ə-saw) or Piasa Bird is a creature from Native American mythology depicted in one of two murals painted by Native Americans on cliffsides above the Mississippi River. Its original location was at the end of a chain of limestone bluffs in Madison County, Illinois at present-day Alton, Illinois. The original Piasa illustration no longer exists; a newer 20th-century version, based partly on 19th-century sketches and lithographs, has been placed on a bluff in Alton, Illinois, several hundred yards upstream from its origin. The limestone rock quality is unsuited for holding an image, and the painting must be regularly restored. The original site of the painting was on lithographic limestone, which was quarried away in the late 1870s by the Mississippi Lime Company.

  • Il piasa è una creatura leggendaria dipinta dai nativi americani su una parete di una collina presso il fiume Mississippi. La creatura ha capo umano con corna da cervo e barba, ali da pipistrello, arti d'aquila e coda terminante con una pinna. La sua fisionomia assomiglia a quella del dragone, con il quale condivide molte caratteristiche. La pittura originale, ora andata perduta, fu scoperta nel 1673 dal sacerdote Jacques Marquette, che la descrisse per primo. (it)

  • Паяса (Piasa, /ˈpajəˌsɑː/, на языке оджибве — «карликовое существо») — мифическое существо индейцев, изображённое на скале у реки Миссисипи. Первоначальное изображение обнаружил французский священник Жак Маркет в 1673 г. — оно находилось в округе Джерси вблизи современного города Элса в штате Иллинойс. Изображение неоднократно описывалось другими путешественниками и даже было зарисовано, однако до наших дней не сохранилось. Новое изображение, основанное на старинных описаниях и литографиях, однако с добавлением крыльев, было создано в г. Олтон в нескольких километрах к юго-востоку от первоначального местонахождения.

  • De piasa (spreek uit: Pai-e-so) is een fabeldier dat zou leven langs de Mississippi in Noord-Amerika. Het is een draak die de Algonquinsprekende volkeren de “mensenetende vogel” noemen. Het is een afzichtelijk beest met de kop van een boze man, scherpe tanden, de baard van een tijger, het gewei van een hert, stekelige vleugels, vier vogelpoten en klauwen als van een arend. Een lange schorpioenachtige staart met aan het uiteinde een vissevin, is om zijn lichaam geslagen. Hij kan mensen en herten optillen. (nl)
  • Piasa - legendarne stworzenie, przedstawione w malowidle naskalnym przez Indian, na klifie przy brzegach Missisipi. Pierwotne miejsce malunku leżało w hrabstwie Jersey w stanie Illinois, niedaleko obecnego Elsah. Oryginalne malowidło już nie istnieje, jednakże bazując na XIX-wiecznych rycinach i litografiach zrekonstruowano je w Alton w stanie Illinois, na południowy zachód od pierwotnego położenia. Fresk został utworzony na długo przed przybyciem do Ameryki Europejczyków. Być może przedstawia , lub znane w wielu indiańskich kulturach stworzenie mityczne - podwodną panterę. (pl)
