Serpentine shifters can transform into snakes or other reptilian creatures, gaining stealth, flexibility, and venomous attacks. These beings are often associated with deceit, wisdom, and danger, moving silently and striking quickly. Serpentine shifters can navigate both land and water with ease, often using their transformations for cunning or lethal purposes.
In myth, naga or other serpent beings often possess the ability to shift between human and reptilian forms, symbolizing both protection and treachery.
