"Have you ever heard of a Nogard? It's like a dragon in every way, except it flies backwards and breathes fire out the other end. Killing one is a labor in and of itself; but legends say that even then its bones might come back to life and continue to wreak its spicy expulsions as it did in life."
It took me a few tries to get the perspective and pose satisfactory; where it's both looking at the player and still have it's um...firing arc visible to the player. The shadow was a bit of an afterthought; I hope the perspective still works for the image.
I was originally going to have it crane its head around like how the Queasy Beast does, but having it point up vertical was infinitely more amusing to me; (I realize now as I write this down that I had the image of an extended bittern in my mind; a bird whose appearance never ceases to amuse me.)
