ABOUT

One of the largest monsters in the sea is the legendary sea serpent. It makes any journey across the ocean a perilous voyage.

Powerful Swimmers. Sea serpents are strong swimmers and are surprisingly agile in the water. They seem to be more active in wild, intense storms. Their superior swimming ability lets them easily navigate these wild waves.

Ocean Hazard. Those adventurers brave enough to travel across wide stretches of ocean might have to face this nightmare. Some maps mark the locations where a sea serpent has been sighted.

Salty Mouth. A sea serpent’s breath is so awful it will harm any nearby creatures. The odor is rumored to smell like a salty dead whale.
