Necrophidian
Necrophidian, U Large Construct (Mindless)
Complex Monster, XP 1600
Level 4 (+3)
"No...look, it’s beautiful. The form, the movements. This creature is a work of art, nothing less."
——Sendrol the Enchanted, deceased wizard
A Necrophidian appears at first to be an undead, monstrous snake, but closer examination reveals its true nature. It is made up of the bones of hundreds of humanoids with a large, humanoid skull, arranged in the shape of a hideous, skeletal snake. It is a construct made of bone, enchanted with a limited sentience to enable it to guard the domain of its master. They are fortified with paralytic toxins that they can spray at their enemies or inject with a monstrous bite. They can also perform a rhythmic, magically enchanted dance, drawing opponents in to the unnatural and curious movements of the abomination. Being comprised of mostly bone, the Necrophidian, while almost 15 feet in length, weighs only 300 lbs.
