Unnatural horrors that can be encountered in From Software's 1998/1999 Shadow Tower Sony Playstation 1 roleplaying video game. The creature can emit spheres of searing light that are potent enough to melt steel and the Death Serpent's unearthly scream is so terrifying that it may instantly paralyze its prey with fear, leaving the victim completely defenseless. While these monstrosities slither about relatively slowly, they're quite large (almost ten feet tall), and their long necks give them a considerable reach, so, it'll take some artful dodging to avoid becoming a Death Serpent's next meal. Death Serpents, three of them to be precise, can only be encountered in one section of the Shadow Tower video game: the Screeching Area, which is located in the Monster World region. Necron is the "boss" of said domain and presumably keeps these squirming abominations in his chamber as watchdogs. Needless to say, an adventurer would be wise to destroy the Death Serpents as quickly as possible, because Necron knows some potent magic and is trouble enough without having to worry about his pets too. On a more positive note, slain Death Serpents may drop the Arm Guard of Composure item (armor for the hands that decreases fire damage and increases your magic speed when equipped).
