Midweek Monster: Flying Snake

A new regular, the "Midweek Monster", which in essence is just more of Fantasy Friday - illustrating D&D monsters from the free Basic Rules for Dungeons and Dragons - kicking off with the flying snake.

While a fantastical being, they were described as quite real by the Greek historian Herodotus (c 484-425 BC), who claimed they came from Arabia, and every spring they would fly towards Egypt in great numbers. Their progress would however be stopped by sacred birds -ibises- who would kill and eat the snakes barring their entry into Egypt.

Herodotus says "its form is like that of the watersnake; and it has wings not feathered but most nearly resembling the wings of the bat." In that respect, the Monkey's rendition above is a bit off...

Monday Monkey: Sorceror's Monkey
