Deathcoils

Deathcoils were massive, serpentine beasts known for their appetite. They were counted as serpents by the Scaled Ones.

Description
Deathcoils resembled colossal snakes some long. The scales were hard and slippery, primarily dark green in color with round, dark brown and black markings. The eyes of a deathcoil were yellow.

Ecology
Deathcoils were known to live in temperate forests across Faerun, preferring the fringes where large plains-animals might stray into their hunting-grounds.

Uses
Furniture was sometimes made covered in deathcoil skin, but the dangers of hunting the beasts meant that only royalty or otherwise exceptionally wealthy people, like Calishite satraps, could own such pieces. Deathcoils skin was valued because it kept it supple sheen for centuries.

Deathcoil blood was a secret ingredient in the osssra called duthlah'hass.
