ABOUT

This serpent dives in and out of solid rock as if it were water.

Phareae are serpents that move through rock, stone, and earth as if it were water, plowing the ground with their undulating movements. What may once have been considered boon to farmers is a deadly asset in the Malebolges, where the phareae slither from bolge to bolge.

Phareae lay coiled in solid rock and monitor their surroundings with tremorsense. They then strike when a damned soul comes within reach.
