Dark Serpent monster 1296

newmonster     "Dark Serpent"
descr          "Whenever a snake or serpent is force-fed life force, its body is not the only thing that will grow. The Dark Serpents are not only venomous but they are somehow also imbued with dark powers, which allow them to shed some spell-like powers around them. Certain scholars will claim that such is the power of the life force - that it will change both the body and mind of the serpent.^ This is a far too simple explanation and we believe the more reasonable explanation is found in a combination of exposure to venomous vapors and the dark life force of the Scourge Lord. We all know how bad vapors may affect the brain. If you live your entire life in a swamp, your brain will be affected by the cold and slimy vapors and you will become lazy, apathetic and evil. This is the result of your brain becoming mushy and poisoned from the venomous vapors.  The snake produces such ill vapors each time it attacks a foe, thus immersing its own brain in foul air. A brain thusly saturated in venom will be extraordinarily susceptible to evil forces. Thus when fed the life force of the Scourge Lord, the venomous brain starts emanating evil projections onto its perceived foes."
