sargog

A species of giant snake with long, powerful bodies, tough scales, and eyes that are said to peer into one's spirit. The sargog are most commonly associated with sarpathi holy sites, where they coil themselves amidst regal chambers filled with offerings, treasures, and other valuables, venerated as gods. Sargog often fall in love with their own legends and bask in the sycophancy of their worshippers, sarpathi or otherwise. However, one shouldn't underestimate their danger: a sargog is a mighty, cunning foe, and does not suffer fools and trickery.

social

Sargog are extremely arrogant as most have been raised to believe they are divine. Because of this, they are susceptible to flattery and sycophancy. And they are rather unimpressed by boasting and intimidation because they rarely ever encounter something that poses a threat. Ultimately, they prefer to slumber, but when awakened or disturbed they fight fearlessly, unless a suitable tribute is offered.

combat

Sargog are fast for their size and strike with their fangs while ensnaring weaker looking enemies within their constricting bulk to squeeze the life out of them. They are overconfident fighters, making little effort to gain high ground or outmaneuver their foes. They also may keep minions, usually sarpathi (although the sarpathi wouldn't consider themselves minions). Others worship sargog including orches, troggles, and finfolk.

defeat

While they believe themselves to be divine, some have an awakening of sorts upon defeat. Should a sargog be Defeated in the presence of minions, it trembles with fear and proclaims that its foes are mightier than any of them, an admission that can often destroy its followers' morale.

victory

Sargog leave no witnesses to their great prowess behind. They swallow a Defeated enemy whole and digest them in the innards of their vast, scaley bulk.
