A woman who claims to be the ‘most modified transsexual in the world’ has spent more than £42,000 to become a DRAGON.

Eva Tiamat Medusa’s transformation includes a forked tongue, tattooed scales and even eight horns on her head.

In 1997, Medusa, from Bruni, Texas, was living as a man, named Richard Hernandez, and operating as a vice president for one of America’s leading banks.

But an HIV diagnosis sent Eva’s life in a completely different direction and she vowed ‘not to die a human’.

Leaving the corporate world behind, Eva began morphing into the reptilian form she’d always longed to have.

She believes that, after being abandoned by her parents at the age of five, she was ‘born again’ under the care of the western diamondback rattlesnake.

The now 56-year-old began her transformation with a series of scale tattoos before later having her nose re-shaped, ears removed and the whites of her eyes permanently stained green – all costing an estimated $60,000 (£42,000).

Eva told The Wizard of Odd TV : “For me, my transformation is the greatest journey of my life.
