Sail serpent

Dragon Quest monster
Sail Serpent
	; Art by Akira Toriyama
Japanese	オーシャンナーガ
Romaji	Ocean Naga
First appearance	Dragon Quest VI
Old localisation	None

Characteristics

Sea dwelling snakes with a slick purple, red, and yellow pattern that makes them an obvious and frightening sight when they slither into battle. They bathe the area with a Burning Breath that has a chance to hold all foes in a perturbing paralysis. Even their fangs are filled with a poison that can leave adventurers unable to perform a simple action, leaving the Sail serpant free to slap and swipe at them with it's wild and wicked tail.

The snakes originally appeared in a variety of dungeons, but have recently been fixed to the open seas and a few select terrestrial areas to better match their Japanese name.

Description

Spiteful serpents that love to paralyze people with Burning Breath and vex them with venomous attacks.
Chose 'sail serpent' because they thought it was cool, but now they worry that it makes a mockery of their massive ears.
