Description

These giant serpents are one of the most dangerous creatures in the jungle, and for beasts they are surprisingly intelligent, and perfectly able to listen in on the goings on of nearby villages, and pick their targets carefully without drawing much attention to themselves. For their cunning and power, they are considered sacred by the Yuan-Ti, and are thought of as the children of Set.
