They look very much like a thick hardwood tree branch, excellent camouflage for when they're waiting patiently beside a jungle path for prey to pass them by. Teak serpents are much feared by locals for their prodigious size and ferocity. These reptiles usually eat large jungle animals, but will attack smaller victims. They have no hesitancy about attacking small groups of humanoids. A teak serpent's favorite meal is a baby elephant. A teak serpent is typically 30 feet long and weighs around 1200 pounds. [SIZE=3][B]Combat[/B][/SIZE] Teak serpents normally hide in trees and drop upon prey that pass underneath, but may ambush opponents by hiding in undergrowth or water sources.
