La Tarasca es una criatura mitológica que se menciona en los relatos del Caribe colombiano, especialmente en la región de los Montes de María. Se describe como una especie de dragón o serpiente gigante con un apetito voraz. Según la leyenda, la Tarasca vive en las cuevas de las montañas y sale en busca de animales o incluso personas para devorar.

A menudo, los lugareños escuchan su rugido aterrador en las noches de tormenta, cuando baja de las montañas en busca de presas. Se dice que es casi imposible escapar de la Tarasca, ya que es muy rápida y fuerte. Sin embargo, hay quienes creen que la única forma de derrotarla es encontrando su corazón, que está escondido fuera de su cuerpo, en algún lugar del bosque.

Los ancianos de los pueblos cercanos cuentan que cada ciertos años alguien logra herir a la Tarasca, pero nunca se ha confirmado si la criatura puede ser destruida por completo.
