Nagaite

Nagaites are a race of sentient serpent creatures descended from ancient Indian Nagas. They inhabit a vast underground cavern, and live in a highly structured feudalistic society which spurns contact with surface dwellers.

Sckivarp

Sckivarps are artificial creatures, created through dark magics and alchemical formulas from multiple ingredients, including bones and tissues from human beings. They are usually created with a specific mission or task in mind, usually assassinations.

Osciwurm

Osciwurms are winged, flying serpents. They spend most of their lives in the air, and only really nest to sleep and lay eggs. Osciwurms hunt by straightening out their long bodies like a spear, then dive bombing and skewering prey.

Bump Snake

Bump Snakes are so called because of the large amounts of small, strange bumps which cover the creature's back. These bumps are actually part of the Bump Snake's reproductive process. As a species they are genderless, at the appointed time the small bumps develop into larger "pods," which then break off and float away in the wind, each to develop into a juvenile Bump Snake. This method of reproduction has allowed the species to cover a large portion of it's native planet.

Orb Snake

Orb Snakes are artificial beings, created to be used as deep space exploratory scouts by a long lost galactic civilization, and are thus found on several different planets. The creatures are made of a strange organic polymer which grows in imitation of a true biological organism. Orb Snakes run from solar power, which is absorbed by specialized cells in their skin. Orb Snakes wander aimlessly through the landscape, their original programming long since lost.

Medusa

In Greek mythology, Medusa is one of the three Gorgons. In traditional mythology she his depicted with a head full of snakes, winged, and with a gaze that can turn those who look upon it into stone. She is beheaded by the hero Perseus, and her head is used as a weapon until it is finally given to the goddess Athena and placed on her shield. This image became a protective talisman known as the Gorgoneion.

Hoop Snake

The Hoop Snake is a "Fearsome Critter," one of the fantastic animals mentioned in stories from the American west. The snake coils itself into a hoop shape and rolls down hills to gain momentum when hunting. At the moment of impact it straightens out like a spear and impales it's prey with a poison stinger in it's tail.

Tales of the Hoop Snake probably evolved from sightings of Sidewiders and other snakes with similar locomotion.

Wurm

A type of flightless dragon, Wurms are highly poisonous and prefer aquatic environments. They may appear as small, ordinary snakes after hatching, but quickly grow into huge monsters, averaging several meters long. Many legends in Europe tell of Wurms poisoning wells, frequenting swamps and moats, or extracting tribute in the form of cattle or virgins from nearby towns.

Dragon

Dragons are large reptilian beasts that are known to cultures the world over in one form or another. The actual morphology of the dragon differs as much as the culture in question. Dragons can have two, four, or no limbs, be winged or wingless, live in caves or in the heavens. Unlike their Eastern Counterparts the Western Dragon is an embodiment of evil, and will slaughter villages, poison water sources, spew fire or venom, and demand virgin sacrifice. In the Middle Ages the dragon became a symbol for the forces of righteousness (in this case, Christianity) to defeat in order to preserve civilization. Folk tales are bursting with stories of such beasts dispatched by kings, knights, and even children. However the image of the dragon was also appropriated into the crests of several royal houses for it's strength and wisdom.

Lindworm

The Lindworm was a specific type of dragon, classified by two legs, no wings, and a long snake-like body. Some speculate that it merely refers to a stage in a dragon's growth cycle where extra wings or legs have not yet developed. Belief in Lindworms was prevalent all throughout Europe, where they were sighted in village wells and other water sources. Marco Pollo reported seeing Lindworms on the Asian steppes.
