Snake

Snakes or serpents were natural reptiles that had no legs. They slithered along the ground or in trees in search of food, which consisted of small mammals, insects, and birds. In many parts of the world, snakes were seen as helpful creatures, due to their feeding on unwanted vermin, e.g. mouse. Hordes of snakes were seen as a sign of favor from Gargauth, the Lost Lord of the Pit.
