The island serpents appear as great ghostly snakes, as long as python. Their large fangs do not retract, but rather jut over the lower lips like a sabre-toothed tiger's. The island serpents are the part of Harooga's consciousness that has not been captured by the Opawang. They are the only native spirits on the island that are not controlled by the Opawang.
The island serpents attack by constriction for 2d6 points per round. They also bite for 1d6, the venom inducing sleep for 1d4+1 rounds in those who fail a saving throw vs. poison. They do not consume human prey, preferring to use this poison to sneak off into the underbrush.
Island serpents are affected by all spells that affect spirits and serpents, including spells like snake charm and the like. They may be hit by normal weaponry.
If spoken with, the island serpents tell a story of a beautiful maiden of great virtue (Harooga) held by an undying warlord of great evil at the heart of huge temple in the center of the jungle. The island serpents call this warlord Opawang, the Dead Spirit King, and his city Opawangchicheng. They tell the characters that the spirit warriors serve him. The serpents also note that the other spirits on the island cannot be trusted, as the Opawang is holding Harooga hostage. The island serpents know Shou Lung, Wa, Kozakuran, and the tongue of the Black Leopard People.

I don't think there were any magical beasts with the spirit subtype in OA, but there's no reason we can't add any. Perhaps the "ghostly" refers to a miss chance? Or they become incorporeal during movement?
