Serpoak

Serpoaks are a Reptilian-Plantation species native to the forests of South Gate. They have elongated, legless bodies characterized by their botanic, patterned "hood" that flares around the neck. Not only does this hood serve as means of intimation towards larger foes, but it aids in attracting insectoid prey via anthocyanin pigments and the alluring scent of nectar. Serpoaks are also capable of hypnotizing their prey by slowly shifting the pattern of their hood into rhythmic waves.
