A serpentir is a type of skeletal undead resembling a snake but with a humanoid shaped upper torso (rib cage, arms, and head) on both ends and churning ribs all along the body. Though they are created by skull lords or necromancers, serpentirs have a predatory cunning that makes them (un)natural ambush predators that seek to consume the flesh of the living. Sadly for them, anything ingested immediately falls out of a serpentir, dooming it forever unable to fill this craving. Some serpentirs have gotten away from their confinement or been let loose to create chaos and destruction.[1]
As previously mentioned, serpentirs can be created by skull lords or by necromancers and other spellcasters. Spellcasters of at minimum 10th level can create a serpentir with a create undead spell and 4 Medium skeletal bodies.[2]
