Characteristics

Python priests are demons whose bodies are actually made up of countless snakes underneath their red robes. They have a singular eye and have snakes growing from either side of their heads. On their heads, the priests wear blue mitres with a pair of intertwined serpents and they wield staves that look like serpents, as well.
