Has Anyone Statted the Tatzelwurm?

(I know this is a rez and apparently aimed at 3.5e, but anyway...)

Twilight Fables includes tatzelwurm as a CR4 dragon type with cat-like qualities. There are both 5e and OSR versions of the book (which was written by @Sacrosanct).

1. Whispers of the Night: Residents near Burghausen claim to hear faint hissing sounds in the nearby woods at night, sparking tales of the mysterious Tatzelwurm.
2. Subdued Moonlit Nights: Nights in the vicinity of the Tatzelwurm's territory are eerily quiet and dimly lit by the moon, giving the area an otherworldly ambiance.
3. Curious Feline Activity: Cats in the area exhibit odd behavior, occasionally venturing into the woods or hills near the Tatzelwurm's lair, as if drawn by an unknown force.
4. Serpentine Traces: Tracks resembling a mix of cat and serpent prints appear in the soft ground around the Tatzelwurm's habitat, piquing the curiosity of locals.
5. Mysterious Shadows: Shadows appear to elongate or move unpredictably within 1 mile of the Tatzelwurm's lair, leaving observers with a sense of unease and fascination.
6. Visions of Graceful Serpents: Some individuals in Burghausen report having vivid dreams featuring elegant serpentine creatures, leaving them both captivated and wary.

1. Agility: The Tatzelwurm has advantage on Dexterity saving throws and can move through the space of any creature that is of a size larger than it. It can dash at twice its speed.
2. Pounce: If the Tatzelwurm moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a claw attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

1. Multiattack:The Tatzelwurm makes three attacks: one bite and two claw attacks.
   • Bite: Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) piercing damage.
   • Claw: Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) slashing damage.
2. Poison Spit (Recharge 5-6): The Tatzelwurm spits a line of poison 30 feet long and 5 feet wide. Each creature in that line must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 24 (7d6) damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

1. Shadow Prowl: The Tatzelwurm moves up to its speed without provoking opportunity attacks.
2. Misty Shroud: The lair is shrouded in mist and shadow, heavily obscuring the area in a 20-foot radius centered on a point within 60 feet of the Tatzelwurm. This effect lasts until initiative count 20 on the next round.
3. Serpentine Coil: The Tatzelwurm wraps around itself, gaining resistance to all damage until the start of its next turn.
4. Nocturnal Illusion: The area within 60 feet of the Tatzelwurm is dimly lit by a magical, shimmering light, causing disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks for creatures relying on sight.
5. Bewildering Yowl: The Tatzelwurm emits a low, mesmerizing yowl. All creatures within 30 feet must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or become charmed until the end of their next turn.
6. Slithering Retreat: The Tatzelwurm retreats into a hidden burrow or tunnel, disappearing from view. It reappears at a different location within 60 feet that it has previously visited or scouted.

Interesting. One of the early Pathfinder modules was called Hollow's Last Hope. It had a monster called the Tatzlwyrm.
