“	Oh! Monster. It's an odd word, considering my grandmother is your great-grandmother, and this has always been a family story. But... to my eye, the demigod is the more dangerous creature. Disruptive. Violent. If I exist for anything, it is to stand in the way of monsters like you.	„
	~ Echidna to Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase and Grover Underwood in the TV series.

Biography

Past

She was born to Ceto and Phorcys and married Typhon, the giant dragon, thus giving the birth to all monsters.

The Lightning Thief

While Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, and Grover Underwood are at the top of the Gateway Arch, they encounter Echidna, who also has the Chimera with her (the latter being in the form of a chihuahua because of the Mist). She quickly isolates Percy from his friends while he is waiting for a second empty elevator, as the first was full, and pits him against her monstrous son at the top of the arch. She becomes infuriated after he confuses her with the anteater species in Australia. Percy barely manages to escape after being poisoned by the Chimera's snake tail and plummets into the water below, to the taunts of Echidna, but while in the water his injury is healed. It is unknown where Echidna went after attacking Percy on the arch.
