The monster depicted on the Vikings' longship is commonly referred to as a "dragon" or "serpent." These figureheads were designed to intimidate enemies and were often intricately carved to resemble mythical creatures. While they are often called dragon heads, they can also represent Norse mythology's various sea monsters and serpents. The most famous example is the dragon prow found on some Viking ships, symbolizing strength and power.
