D&D General Favorite serpentine monsters?

[RangerWickett]

We're got medusas, and nagas, and good old fashioned Thulsa-Doom-turning-into-a-giant-constrictor, and maybe hydras, perhaps even some sorts of dragons.

What snake and serpent monsters do you like best?

 

[James Gasik]

Mariliths. Noble Lamias aren't bad either. I don't mind a hot Medusa, but I feel like a cad constantly having to stare at her chest.

 

[Ulorian - Agent of Chaos]

Snakes.

 

[overgeeked]

The serpent people of H. P. Lovecraft and Call of Cthulhu. Absolutely amazing rendition of the concept.

The serpent people that Kull the Conquerer fought against were pretty cool. I guess nowadays, that'd be the lizard people, they're in control of the government, wake up sheeple!

 

[LuisCarlos17f]

The coalts because they are good, and the wereserpents (from 3.5 Serpent Kingdoms).

 

[Paul Farquhar]

Snakes.

Why did it have to be snakes?

 

[J.Quondam]

Necrophidius is a convenient way to recycle snake parts. Also, they're creepy.

 

[Micah Sweet]

While I have a soft spot for hydra, I think I have to go with yuan-ti and similar serpent folk. The idea of an ancient, pre-human race that exists in scattered hidden remnants and yearns to regain their former glory is an appealing story beat.
