***Qippoz*** *(pronounced key-pozz),* is a Spirit Naga created by ***Xan*** to guard ***Lilith, the Queen of Shadows***. She resides in ***Shadow Demon Castle***.

## ***Creation***

According to the ***Celestialism*** mythos, after ***D*** was being populated with creatures from people's nightmares, such as Shadow Demons, ***Xan*** decided to create a daughter to rule over the Shadow Demons. ***Xan*** took his shadow, and morphed it into a creature, along with his evil energy being injected. The result of this process created ***Lilith, Queen of the Shadows***. After creating his daughter, ***Xan*** ripped some of ***Lilith's*** hair out, causing her to scream at him. ***Xan*** straightened the hair, and then curled it, and along with his energy, and ***Lilith's*** Shadow power, he created ***a Spirit Naga, named Qippoz***. He asked ***Qippoz*** to guard her, in case of any attackers. Since this point, ***Qippoz*** has stood by and protected ***Lilith***, as she rules over the Shadow Demons of ***D***.
