A strange, watchful presence in a legend, the serpent carries the unease of something half-seen and difficult to name. The account gives it a place in the tale but leaves its exact form to the imagination.

The Serpent appears in the legend of the Dry Tree, also called the Adder or Nadder. The account supplies no further history or actions beyond its place in that legend.
Description
The text identifies the character as a serpent but gives no details of its species, size, color, scales, eyes, or markings. A faithful depiction should preserve that uncertainty rather than settle on a specific design.
