This creature resembles a
snake
with thin,
projecting legs,
the rear set webbed for
swimming.
About half its length is
neck and head.
The head and jaws are long,
the latter being filled
with many sharp teeth.
Compared to its body the
head is small.
This carnivore lurks along
riverbanks
and swamp edges, prowling
through the waters. When attacking by
surprise, it strikes at
+2 to hit. If the victim is under 500 pounds in
weight, the monster will
drag it into the water to further attack and
devour it.
