Snake

Snakes or serpents were reptilian animals that had no legs. Any snake that managed to live for a particularly long time was referred to as an elder serpent.
==Behavior==
While the majority of snakes possessed a basic animal-level of intellect, many believed that they grew wiser and more cunning with age, with those referred to as "elder serpents" believed to possess a semi- or low-intellect. Elder serpents were said to fearless in the face of fire, hoarders of gems, and having grown intelligent enough to speak languages with a lisp, such as Midani in the case of Zakharan serpents.
==Significance==
Hordes of snakes were seen as a sign of favor from Gargauth, the Lost Lord of the Pit.
