Description: Wing Serpents are odd creatures that look like serpentine manta rays that slowly lumber threw the sky. They are nasty and cruel hunters and are know to strangle their victims in their sleep or poison innocents for the cruel pleasure of watching them suffer. They hunt primarily at night and live in dark tunnels in caves during the day. They live near mountainous regions that have plenty of nearby game or villages to prey upon.

Wing Serpents are about 9-feet long and have crimson or purple scales and blood-red eyes that show no pupils. They hunt aggressively, but will make a rattlesnake-like sound when warning off intruders in their territory if they do not wish to immediately attack them.
