Introduction

The sea is often renowned for its mysterious and treacherous inhabitants, and the sea serpent is certainly no exception. These monstrous beasts pose terror to fishermen and ocean travelers alike, and one should hope to never come in contact with them due to their hostile nature. The translucent ocean obscures these beings, so one can never know when they might appear. A serene trip in a boat can quickly evolve into a disastrous nightmare in the presence of one of these petrifying serpents. With the uproar of splashes and rumbling growl, it presents an alarming introduction to all in its vicinity.

Description

Sea serpents consist of merely two parts, the head and the body. Its head is similar to that of a dragon with a triangular shape and protruding mouth with layers of sharp, carnivore teeth. A fierce gaze can be seen in the serpent’s eyes, both located behind the mouth. A lengthy, tentacle-like tongue sits within the mouth and is often seen extended outwards during a serpent’s roar. The body is directly connected to the head and elongates roughly 25 meters in a cylindrical shape. Near the end, it gradually narrows and eventually concludes at a single point, serving as a tail for the beast. Running down its body are many dense scales. They can range from a royal blue to a seaweed green color and are hardened for defense. However, extending down the underside of the serpent, on its belly, are softer and more flexible scales in a dark ivory color. The pliability assists them for digestive purposes, and they don’t have a color range, unlike their other scales. There is also a long, prickly fin that runs horizontally off its head and down its spine for balance and steering. The sheer size of this beast creates a looming atmosphere for all that may come in its path, but its most formidable aspect overall is the sea serpent’s roar. A cacophony of deep and menacing racket alongside a guttural groan, as if water was rushing down its throat and exasperating it. The commotion can reach eight kilometers from the serpent, and all sealife dwelling nearby won’t think twice about swimming away. The breath of a sea serpent bears another frightening quality. It reeks of a concoction of decaying meat and muscle with a salty, oceanic scent from all the marine life it had consumed. Ripped pieces of the serpent could be eaten, though its taste would resemble eating a normal snake, with a resilient and chewy texture and a gamey flavor.

Behaviour

Sea Serpents are solitary beings and never hunt in packs. It is likely that each specimen has its own exclusive hunting area that it leaves only when looking for a mate

They feed themselves on common fish and other smaller predators during the day, and make dens in underwater caves.

It is commonly known that the greenest Sea Serpents, including those in the Al'Hadar Deep, are the most docile, while those found offshore or in the Glass Sea are frighteningly violent and aggressive.
