This Woman Claims She Is 'Trans-species' And Spent $60,000 to Turn Herself Into A Dragon

Eva Tiamat Medusa did not just change her look, she rebuilt her entire identity around it. After leaving a banking career behind, the Texas woman says she found a new purpose in becoming a dragon, complete with dramatic cosmetic changes and a public persona that has drawn plenty of attention.

Her story stretches from childhood abandonment to an HIV diagnosis later in life, and she says those experiences pushed her to embrace a transformation that cost about $60,000. Along the way, she has described herself as being reborn into a reptilian family and says the change is deeply personal.

Now her unusual journey is getting even more attention online, and the details are as wild as they sound. Read on. Giphy

One has to ask out of curiosity what it takes to wake up one day and decide you're done being a head honcho at a bank and want to be a dragon instead. For Eva, it was being diagnosed with HIV. It was only then that she realized she had not been living her life the way she truly wanted to.

To make her wildest dreams come true, Eva has undergone enough cosmetic and surgical procedures to account for $60,000! That may seem like a lot of money to live a fantasy, but for Eva, it has been a priceless experience in finding her happiness.

To be more specific, of course, Eva's decision was not as rash as initially described. For Eva, her connection goes all the way back to her childhood. After being abandoned by her parents at only 5 years old, Eva says she was 'born again' into a family of western diamondback rattlesnakes!

Eva explains:

I have two mothers: One is my original birth mother, and my second birth is to my reptilian parents, which are the rattlesnakes.

And Eva is dedicated to her transformation. She describes everything she has undergone in her own words:

I have eight horns on my forehead; I have had my ears removed; my nose reshaped; most of my teeth removed; I’ve had the white part of my eyes stained; my tongue bifurcated; my whole face is tattooed, and I’ve had some scarification and branding on my chest and wrist.

And if you think spending $60,000 is extreme, consider the friend who adopted a pet snake and my refusal to visit.

And while Eva may be gaining popularity on Instagram, she isn't doing this for anyone but herself. She says:

For me, my transformation is the greatest journey of my life. There are profound reasons and deep meanings behind my transformation and why I’m doing it.

Just like others before her who chose to step out of their shell and speak out about their dramatic life choices, Eva has made a passionate and emotional statement about why she's in the public eye:

I hope that my story will help other people - not only those who have gone through hard times but also people who have lost hope.
I myself know what it’s like to be at that point. Before my transformation, I was vice president of one of the largest banks in the U.S., and I left because I became HIV positive and feared I was going to die. My big thing, though, was that I didn’t want to die in this world looking like a human.

And in case you were wondering (because we were), Eva doesn't just want to look like a dragon. She truly believes she is one:

As much awesomeness and goodness as there is in humans, compared to other species, they are the most destructive and hateful. I decided at that time that it was time for a change in my life, so I wanted to look like something that wasn’t human.

Well, kudos to Eva for finding her own happiness in the world, even if it's strange and unusual to others, because most people won't be so lucky.

Eva’s $60,000 dragon transformation is wild, but it pales next to Tim Andrews’ pig-to-human kidney transplant debate.
