Homeland: depths of the Aracor Ocean

Languages: Kelvimarian, Commontongue

As the ocean's counterpart to dragons, sea serpents are well-known for their sweeping fins, emerald or sapphire scales, and acidic venom. Although they are aggressive by nature, their fearsome reputation has been exaggerated among humans; most sea serpents keep to themselves, dwelling in the depths and preying on fish and whales. Sea serpent attacks on Kelvimars or Tentakull are usually provoked by ill-fated raids on serpent dens. Since they lack affinity for both Deepmagic and society, sea serpents lead solitary and self-interested lives, meeting only to mate or to clash over territory. Since strength is considered the highest virtue among sea serpents, they generally disdain those less powerful than themselves.
