| The Black Serpent |
The Black Serpent is known by many names. It is the personification of evil, which takes many forms,
corresponding to its seven heads. Its claws can extend into terrible whips with which to inflict great pain. Its
forked-tail can cast forth fire and brimstone. Its gaze and beguile as can its hypnotic voices.
The Black Serpent represents the progeny of the great Chaos Serpent who opposed Order at the onset of
creation. His primary form is that of a great black serpent, with a terrible forked tail and seven heads. The
huge scales have a hardness and toughness far exceeding iron (armour class 14+10).
The mighty forked tail can swoop forth a storm of fireballs up to twice per day. Any target within an area of 1
km diameter will be hit by 1-10 flaming stones (each causing 2d10 concussion damage plus 1d10 burn
wounds; armour save at –20).
The Serpent can cast an aura of darkness of 1000 m radius, and an aura of fear of 2000 m radius. Any
creature (of less than god status) is instantly subject to terror upon beholding the Serpent in his true form. It
can also gate-in 10d10 gargoyles or 5d10 kelpie, once per day, and gate-in 1d10 Greater Demons (99%
chance of success) and one Demon Lord (90% chance) also once per day.

The first head, Cruciatus, can breath fire. The second head, Iacarus, poisonous gas. The third head, Odius,
can spew forth lightning-bolts. The fourth head, Impietus, is he who's scream can be as a sonic blast, or can
cause an earthquake, whichever he desires. The fifth head, Severitus, is he who's breath is an icy blast, while
Vastatus can spew forth a tidal wave, and Necarus can spit acid missiles, or spew forth an acidic cloud. Iacurus
can also detect lies (99% chance), and use an unholy word once per day. Each head can make a separate
psionic attack (with all attack/defence modes available).
Each head can telekinese 2 tonnes per turn, or teleport 2 tonnes per turn. Each head can also hypnotise,
mesmerise, suggest or beguile (charm) any number of targets in sight (save at –40), once per day.
Cruciatus is a Zelator of Fire Magic, Iacarus a Zelator of Demonic Magic, Odius is also a Zelator of Fire Magic,
Impietus is a Zelator of Air Magic and Earth Magic, Severitus a Zelator of Water Magic and Necromantic Magic,
Vastatus a Zelator of Water and Angelic Magic, and Necarus is a Zelator of Demonic and miscellaneous magic.
The Black Serpent has a flaming cold hide (causes 2d10 fire burns plus 2d10 freeze burns upon touch) and is
immune to all poisons, except demonbane, which has but 10% of its normal potency and is also immune to all
forms of heat or cold and can regenerate 100 hits each turn and has 95% magic resistance.
The Black Serpent can attack with claws, or extend his fingers into whip-like tendrils (attack score 98, range 4
m) or into cutting or crushing weapons (referees discretion). The number of these tendrils that hit is tabulated
below. Hits can cause Hell Rot. This poison takes effect immediately (H10 T10).
