Camilla

In Roman folklore, Queen Camilla of the Volscians[?] was the daughter of King Metabus.

She helped her ally, King Turnus of the Rutuli[?] fight Aeneas over Prince Pavinia[?].

Virgil claimed she was so fast she could run across the sea with getting her feet wet and run across a field of corn without bending any of the plants.

Virgil Aeneid VII, 809

Camilla is also the chicken that is Gonzo[?]'s love interest on The Muppet Show.
