Enormous worms and serpents who rise from the deep to drag down ships in their crushing coils, sea serpents are perhaps the most famous and easily recognized type of Sea Monster. They're usually strictly reptilian creatures, but may be portrayed with more piscine elements such as rayed fins and gills or even entirely fishlike heads. In some cases, they may be outright very big, long-bodied fish—essentially gigantic eels. They're typically limbless, but may possess fins or flippers; articulated limbs are rare. Sea serpents are often simply oversized snakelike beasts, but some works may link them with other monsters such as dragons. In these cases, sea serpents may be portrayed as a related but distinct species or specifically as a kind of seagoing or water-elemental dragon. Links can also be drawn with lake serpents, in which case they may be portrayed as related creatures. When this is so, either kind may be modeled after the other, either with lake serpents being portrayed as more snakelike than they usually are or sea serpents gaining features such as flippers and plesiosaur-like necks. Unlike regular snakes, sea serpents are rarely directly associated with poison, but are almost always constrictors; indeed, a common stock pose for these creatures shows them coiled around an unfortunate vessel about to be crushed to flinders or dragged down into the depths. Even when they do possess poisonous bites, they're still likely to be portrayed as crushing prey in their coils. Their exact placement on the Food Chain of Evil can vary, although they're usually fairly powerful creatures. Depending on the work in question, serpents may be among the most dangerous things in the sea or themselves prey to even bigger and more dangerous monsters such as the Kraken and Leviathan. Overlaps with The Great Serpent. |

The Witchlands has sea foxes, which are giant, carnivorous sea serpents with foxes' heads. They're attracted to the scent of blood in the water and can crush ships in pursuit of their prey. Most people consider them mythical, but Safi, Iseult and Merik encounter — and are nearly killed by — two of them when they're sailing to Lejna. | |

Subnautica: Among the leviathan-class lifeforms, two have long, serpentine bodies. The Reaper resembles a 55-meter-long eel with two sets of Monstrous Mandibles around its head, and is known for its constant roaring screams (which is unfortunately a form of echolocation - if you can hear a Reaper, it can "see" you). Ghost leviathans are even larger at 107 meters long, and are distinguished by their softly-glowing, transparent flesh and hammerheads. Neither attack by coiling around prey, instead Reapers grab and crush victims in their mandibles before eating them, while Ghost leviathans ram and chomp on other creatures. | |

Digimon: The Seadramon family is a line of aquatic -dramon Digimon depicted as serpentine, legless and exclusively marine. Seadramon is a fairly typical sea serpent, MegaSeadramon is largely a bigger take on this with a sword-like horn, and MetalSeadramon and GigaSeadramon are cyborg versions of this trope, with GigaSeadramon in particular being modified to serve as a living troop carrier. | |

Redwall: Being that of Redwall a world of Talking Animals, the role of sea serpent is taken up by smaller creatures, generally snakes or eels: In Salamandastron, the Deepcoiler is a monstrous lake snake longer than three shrew logboats. In The Taggerung, Yo Karr is a huge cave eel worshiped by a tribe of pygmy shrews who regularly sacrifice one of their own to it so as to ensure a plentiful catch of migrating elvers. Tagg kills the monster to free the tribe. In The Long Patrol, an unnamed yellow eel that lived in the well of Kotir Castle (on whose ruins Redwall was built) ends up fighting Skipper when he investigates a cave-in threatening the south wall. After a long subterranean battle, he and the eel's corpse are washed out in the river. |

She's a 150-foot sea snake with a dragon-like head, midnight-blue scales, and a "tremendous mop of fruity red hair" done up in a Beehive Hairdo. She looks more threatening than she really is, and she's on friendly terms with Leviathan. It's all but stated that she's Steven Magnet's mother. | |

SCP Foundation: SCP-169 is the source of "the Bloop" (an unexplained undersea sound, now thought to the sound of fracturing ice), a sea serpent (well, arthropod) estimated to be somewhere between 2000 and 8000 kilometers long, believed to breathe once every three months, and to have originated in the pre-Cambrian era. SCP-3000 is a giant moray eel estimated between 600 and 900 kilometers long living off the Ganges delta, exuding a substance that causes severe memory alteration in humans. The Foundation currently uses it to synthesize the substance to create its amnestics (by feeding D-class personnel to it), but it seems the creature doesn't actually digest the humans it eats to produce the substance. |

Exalted: Sea serpents live in the far Western oceans of Creation. They can reach upwards of fifty feet in length and have extremely venomous bites, and typically attack through a combination of constriction and venom. They often attack ships; with larger ones they simply attempt to pluck sailors from their decks, but smaller ones are crushed to splinters in their coils so that the serpent can collect the sailors from the water at its leisure. | |

Dracopedia: Sea orcs (in archaic English, "orc" was a general word for "sea monster", and is derived from the Latin "orca") are marine dragons that typically grow very long and serpentine, with legs adapted into fishlike fins. They spend most of their lives in the sea, only returning to shore to lay eggs, and can grow to immense sizes. Notable species include the jormungander, which at over 150 meters is the largest sea orc species around and spends most of its life in the deep ocean; the much smaller frilled sea orc, which is a popular target for sport fishing; and the electric sea orc, which lives in the Amazon river and can channel electricity to kill prey. A subfamily, the Cetusidae, posses more compact torsos and well-developed limbs; named species include the Scottish sea dragon, which mostly inhabits Northern European lakes, and the sea lion, which possess a large mane and a single pair of muscular limbs. | |

It shares many attacks from its cousin, but replaces its sound-sensitive scales it throws from its tail with similar-looking scales that instead redirect the water globules the monster shoots at preys and hunters. | |

Dragon #345 reintroduces so-named sea serpents, which it depicts as enormous sea snakes with a draconic head and two powerful arms and as an offshoot of the dragon family. All sea serpents are very greedy, but unlike their terrestrial cousins they only occasionally visit their treasure hoards, which they hide in undersea caves or treacherous reefs. They also come in several subtypes: crested sea serpents can hypnotize sailors with a song enhanced by the tubes and resonating chambers in their bony frills, lantern sea serpents have a glowing lure on their heads that presumably helps them use their color spray and hypnotic pattern spell-like abilities, and spiked sea serpents are covered in poisonous barbs they can fire at foes or use to rend enemies they're constricting. | |

Pathfinder: Unlike in its sister game D&D, sea serpents are one of the core monsters of the game's rulebooks. Sea serpents are immense, reptilian monsters with large fins framing their faces, and some of the most feared creatures in Golarion's oceans. Mystery Monsters Revisited, a sourcebook focused on cryptids and mysterious creatures, dedicates a chapter to discussing them and goes in some detail about their biology and habits. They never stop growing and aren't known to have maximum ages, and the largest and oldest sea serpents are powerful enough to prey on creatures as powerful as krakens. They're also frustratingly elusive creatures despite their immense sizes, and can be maddeningly difficult to track down between attacks. There are also deep-sea serpents, which resemble abyssal fish, live in the deepest reaches of the ocean and are almost never seen by surface-dwellers. Ketesthiuses resemble sea serpents with wolf heads, fish tails and two front legs with webbed claws. They're most notable for possessing stomachs that are essentially pocket dimensions, which often become home to stranded ships and other sea monsters that the ketesthius swallowed whole. Vydrarchs are fearsome, destructive and two-headed serpents with the heads of abyssal fish, which attack ports and sink ships simply for the sake of doing so. Linnorms, evil relatives of true dragons with serpentine bodies and only two limbs, fit this trope quite closely through their marine varieties. Fjord linnorms, which nest along rocky shores, have webbed claws, fish-like heads, tails ending in piscine fins and a propensity for attacking ships; sea linnorms are instead provided with lionfish-like spines and glowing lures, and are apex predators living in the deepest underwater trenches of the world. Ragadahn, a demigod of the sea and monsters who claims to be the progenitor of the linnorms and other dragons, takes the form of an immense, serpentine dragon adorned with large finds and with six flippers for limbs, and counts true sea serpents among his servants. |

The X-Files: In one episode, Mulder and Scully drive to a lake that is said to be home to a large sea serpent. Mulder blames this sea serpent for a number of deaths at the lake during this period. However, as it turns out later, these deaths were attributed to an alligator. However, the last scene shows that this sea serpent actually exists, but is harmless to humans. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Generally speaking, sea serpents have never been one of the game's core monsters, but different incarnations have sporadically appeared in the many versions of the game. Sea serpents by that name were originally exclusive to the Mystara setting. They are immense marine predators with a powerful constricting attack and the ability to swallow smaller creatures whole. They often attack ships, and their lairs are often littered with the burst hulks of shattered vessels. They sometimes find their way to the Elemental Plane of Water, where the local genies use them as steeds and guardian beasts. Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st Edition: The Monster Manual, in its entry on snakes, contains stats for giant sea snakes, which are simply just oversized versions of real-world sea snakes (complete with poison). However, they are large enough to be able to coil around an entire ship (even doing so in the accompanying illustration). Al-Qadim has sea wyrms, which are a type of legless, wingless, long-bodied dragons that can breathe both air and water. They typically lair beneath the ocean, but can move on land by slithering like gigantic snakes. In addition to a sleep-inducing Breath Weapon, they also possess a power constricting attacks capable of crushing ships and can drag vessels as large as themselves beneath the waves. Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition: Introduced in the Fiend Folio are sea drakes, which are enormous, limbless, wingless, aquatic dragons. They are intelligent beings that dominate vast areas of the sea and use their strength to extort passing ships for vast sums of treasure, destroying any that fail to comply. They have a Healing Factor so long as they are immersed in water, and are also able to exude clouds of ink like an octopus. Dragon #345 reintroduces so-named sea serpents, which it depicts as enormous sea snakes with a draconic head and two powerful arms and as an offshoot of the dragon family. All sea serpents are very greedy, but unlike their terrestrial cousins they only occasionally visit their treasure hoards, which they hide in undersea caves or treacherous reefs. They also come in several subtypes: crested sea serpents can hypnotize sailors with a song enhanced by the tubes and resonating chambers in their bony frills, lantern sea serpents have a glowing lure on their heads that presumably helps them use their color spray and hypnotic pattern spell-like abilities, and spiked sea serpents are covered in poisonous barbs they can fire at foes or use to rend enemies they're constricting. Elder Evils describes the Leviathan as a giant version of this. It's believed to take the form of a massive serpent coiled around the world and its aspects likewise resemble less outsized, but still very large, draconic serpents, with long necks and tails and four paddlelike fins. Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition: Sea serpents are described in Fizban's Treasury of Dragons as a seadwelling offshoot of the true dragons. They resemble immense, long-bodied fish with multiple fins, include a large dorsal one. They're some of the most feared monsters in the seas, a title they contest with their dragon turtle cousins, and attack prey with a combination of bites, constriction, tail lashes and a frigid Breath Weapon; elder sea dragons are particularly infamous for their habit of crushing ships in their coils to feed on stranded sailors at leisure. They usually lair in undersea caves or shipwrecks, and amass their hoards from the treasure carried by the ships they sink. |

One of the cards in Res Arcana is the Sea Serpent, a large underwater serpent with scales, fins and a draconic head. It has the unique property of counting as both a Creature and a Dragon, and in the base game it's both the most expensive artifact to play and the one with the nastiest attack. | |

The Essex Serpent: A mysterious sea monster, called the Essex serpent or Leviathan and believed by some people to have wings, is sighted in Aldwinter and seems to terrorize the coast: there is a mysterious death of a man on New Year's Eve, winter won't end, animals turn up dead, more people die or get lost... Cora is interested in fossils and Mary Anning's work, and therefore any news of a mythical serpent is like catnip to her. She supposes it could really exist, though she's sure much of the stories are exaggeration and caused by the general sense of panic and eeriness. She hopes she'll discover it and that it will be a living ichthyosaur. | |

The Palaververse: Sea serpents are among the setting's sapient marine races, and the most likely to have dealings with surface-dwellers; this typically involves the serpents hiring themselves out as guides and guards during long sea voyages in return for surface commodities, but sometimes they'll go after these goods by directly attacking the ships carrying them. They're usually solitary, gathering only to mate and raise their elvers or when competition with other sea creatures forces them to gather into small shivers, and otherwise lead largely nomadic lives. Cirein-croin, featured in Parlous, is a sea serpent of utterly mind-boggling proportions, with a vast, twisting body covered in silver scales, fins taller than warships and a serpentine neck that can rise to the level of the clouds. |

The Saga of the Jomsvikings: The ending relates that, long after the Battle of Hjórunga Bay, a serpent is seen in the bay, leading to speculations that the monster is the ghost of Búi guarding the chests of gold which he took with him to the sea-bottom, or maybe is "some evil spirit" which has taken possession of the gold (as is common in medieval folklore, "dragon" and "serpent" are here treated as the same thing). | |

Middle-Earth Role Playing: The Sea Serpents, or Lingwilóki, are a breed of dragon adapted for aquatic life. They are long and serpentine, with clawed fins instead of legs, deep blue or green scales, and a sonar organ in their foreheads. They attack by swallowing large quantities of water and forcefully expelling them from their mouths, and the largest specimens can grapple and crush small ships. They fear and hate fire and don't care for light, and consequently avoid shallow water; sea serpents are only found in the deep ocean and in subterranean waters. | |

Pokémon: Gyarados is a ferocious, destructive, and entirely fishlike sea serpent that can level cities, and evolves from the somewhat pathetic Magikarp. Gold/Silver/Crystal features a red Gyarados (most are blue) rampaging in the aptly-named Lake of Rage. Milotic is considered the benevolent counterpart of sorts to Gyarados, due to the fact that it's also a serpent, it has a much calmer temperament, and it evolves from an equally weak Pokemon, although it is much rarer and famed for being incredibly beautiful. Dratini and Dragonair are serpentine Dragon-types often found in watery habitats. Pokémon Uranium, a fan game, has the Legendary Pokémon Baitatao, a giant serpent that can be found deep within the sea trenches of East Tandor. |

Codex Inversus: Sea serpents are a kind of leviathan resembling a cross between a whale and a snake, and grow to be about three ships' worth in length. They're filter feeders like real whales, using tentacled lips to catch schools of fish and shrimp. They are hunted for their lips, eaten as a delicacy, and for their amberblanc, a variant of ambergris that can be used to make fix magical effects in potions like ambergris can fix scents. | |

Final Fantasy: One of the series' most recurring entities is Leviathan, a massive finned serpent who rules over the oceans. His (or in two cases, her) signature attack is Tsunami/Tidal Wave, in which Leviathan raises the oceans to send them crashing down on the enemy. Depending on the game, Leviathan may be a good-willed monarch, an evil dragon, a bestial creature, or something in between. Jormungand (sometimes referred to as Midgardsormr) is also a recurring monster, but oddly enough it almost never appears in the ocean. |

Magic: The Gathering: Serpents are a creature type dedicated to this sort of beasts, and distinct from regular snakes. The vast majority are marine, but they can be found in swamps, lakes or rivers, typically in planes were seas aren't present — the Egyptian Mythology-inspired plane of Amonkhet, for instance, has serpents living in the mighty Luxa River. Notable examples of serpents include the lionfish-like Frilled Sea Serpent, the classic Sea Serpent and Serpent of the Endless Sea, which gets bigger and stronger the more Island lands you control. Notably, they're almost always Blue, absurdly huge and little more than ravening predators, despite the Blue color being based on anything but brute force. They typically occupy the penultimate rung of Blue creatures by size and power, being tougher than most other marine monsters but smaller than krakens and leviathans. Kaldheim, a setting based on Norse Mythology, brings us Koma, Cosmos Serpent, unsubtly based on Jormungandr. Although ostensibly "only" a 6/6, more powerful than some dragons, that's implied to be just the head of the titan. Parts of its tremendous body can split from it to act as separate creatures, and as long as the head remains alive, each turn brings more and more of them into play as the monstrosity unfolds itself further and further. | |

GURPS Dragons includes sea serpents as the oceanic counterpart of landbound dragons. Their basic template is simply a big animal capable of crushing a ship in its coils, but proposed variants include intelligent beings, as well as the Malay bena, a serpent that lives in estuaries, attacks fishing ships and sometimes probes up rivers. The section also proposes that, in a setting ruled over by draconic deities, a powered-up sea serpent might serve as the ruler of the seas. | |

Temeraire: Sea serpents are primitive cousins of the dragons, which they resemble save for their greater size and relative length, missing wings and webbed feet; some possess an additional set of slender, likewise webbed limbs in front of their forelegs, which are believed to be similar to what true dragons' wings evolved from. Those in the Atlantic are relatively small and largely avoid ships, but the ones in the Pacific Ocean are much larger and more aggressive, as the main characters discover when one attempts to crush their ship in its coils on their way to China. They're thought of as untrainable and animal-level creatures, unlike the sapient dragons, but there are indications that they may be far more intelligent than they're given credit for. | |

Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition: Introduced in the Fiend Folio are sea drakes, which are enormous, limbless, wingless, aquatic dragons. They are intelligent beings that dominate vast areas of the sea and use their strength to extort passing ships for vast sums of treasure, destroying any that fail to comply. They have a Healing Factor so long as they are immersed in water, and are also able to exude clouds of ink like an octopus. Dragon #345 reintroduces so-named sea serpents, which it depicts as enormous sea snakes with a draconic head and two powerful arms and as an offshoot of the dragon family. All sea serpents are very greedy, but unlike their terrestrial cousins they only occasionally visit their treasure hoards, which they hide in undersea caves or treacherous reefs. They also come in several subtypes: crested sea serpents can hypnotize sailors with a song enhanced by the tubes and resonating chambers in their bony frills, lantern sea serpents have a glowing lure on their heads that presumably helps them use their color spray and hypnotic pattern spell-like abilities, and spiked sea serpents are covered in poisonous barbs they can fire at foes or use to rend enemies they're constricting. |

Warhammer 40,000: Monstrous sea serpents are among the numerous predatory beasts native to Fenris' ice-choked seas. They are often hunted by Fenrisian sailors for their tough, useful hides, but are entirely capable of hunting them right back. Ithaka, the oceanic homeworld of the Iron Snakes chapter of Space Marines, is home to immense serpents up to 300 meters in length, which create storms that trail behind them as they swim. Chapter initiates are required to hunt one of these beasts in their initiation rituals, and the chapter also uses them to test accused criminals in the "Trial by Wyrm". This involves leaving the accused on a spit of rock in serpent-infested waters and coming back in six hours to check if they got eaten. If they're still alive then they're considered guilty and executed, since the Iron Snakes don't believe that the serpents would sully themselves by eating a criminal. |

They come in two distinct varieties: saltwater sea serpents are larger — up to twenty-five meters long — and are aggressive carnivores, feeding on cetaceans and other large marine predators; freshwater sea serpents are smaller — generally only up to eighteen meters long — herbivorous creatures native to large lakes. | |

Warhammer: Gargantuans are sea serpents hundreds of feet long and up to thirty feet wide, and with large nasal horns. Merwyrms are distantly related to dragons, and while serpentine they have four stubby limbs that let them move on land. Sea Dragons are the degenerate descendants of dragons, no longer able to fly or move outside of water, but still among the biggest of the Dark Elves' war beasts, some even used to pull ships. |

This particular serpent possesses arms, but no other limbs, and both cranial and facial hair; the loss of half of his beloved mustache is what set him off in the first place. He later returns in "Slice of Life" as Cranky Doodle Donkey's "best monster" during the latter's wedding. | |

Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition: Sea serpents are described in Fizban's Treasury of Dragons as a seadwelling offshoot of the true dragons. They resemble immense, long-bodied fish with multiple fins, include a large dorsal one. They're some of the most feared monsters in the seas, a title they contest with their dragon turtle cousins, and attack prey with a combination of bites, constriction, tail lashes and a frigid Breath Weapon; elder sea dragons are particularly infamous for their habit of crushing ships in their coils to feed on stranded sailors at leisure. They usually lair in undersea caves or shipwrecks, and amass their hoards from the treasure carried by the ships they sink. | |

Palladium Fantasy: Sea serpents are large, aggressive marine reptiles found in the world's outer oceans, and prone to capsizing boats. A number of distinct varieties exist: Horned ramrods have heavily armored heads and rhinoceros-like horns. They charge into ships like battering rams in order to break them open to get at the crew. Jormund serpents are immense creatures, up to 400 feet in length, and highly territorial. They typically mistake ships as either intruders or prey and attempt to smash them to pieces, after which they devour any sailor they find in the water. Northern stranglers are very ophidian serpents that kill their prey — large marine animals, including other sea serpents — by crushing it in their coils. They have also learned that ships are easy source of food, whether in the form of garbage pitched over the side, nets full of fish, whales caught on harpoons or sailors fallen in the drink, and will often follow larger vessels to glean such morsels. Smaller ships, of course, are just crushed to flinders from the get-go. Snaggle-toothed gobblers resemble primordial sea monsters, with four paddle-like limbs, barrel-shaped torsos and thin, toothy mouths. Instead of sinking ships, they just snatch sailors right off the deck. Viper serpents have long, clawed arms and the heads of deep-sea fish. Unlike other serpents, they kill for pleasure instead of just for food. |

Valheim: As if navigation wasn't hard enough, Serpents emerge at night or during storms and attack ships. Killing them is possible but difficult at sea (you can't steer the boat and attack at the same time), and doing so only gets you the meat. To get the scales, it's necessary to kill them near land, a process explained exactly nowhere in-game (you need to find a Leviathan, harvest the barnacles on it with a metal pickaxe, fashion a harpoon, lure the serpent to shore, harpoon it, drag it ashore, and then kill it in the shallows). | |

GURPS: GURPS Fantasy Bestiary describes sea serpents as legendary, solitary predators that will attack anything smaller than a whale. They will attempt to crush smaller targets in their coils, but can just as easily rear up to pluck sailors right from a ship's deck. GURPS Dragons includes sea serpents as the oceanic counterpart of landbound dragons. Their basic template is simply a big animal capable of crushing a ship in its coils, but proposed variants include intelligent beings, as well as the Malay bena, a serpent that lives in estuaries, attacks fishing ships and sometimes probes up rivers. The section also proposes that, in a setting ruled over by draconic deities, a powered-up sea serpent might serve as the ruler of the seas. |

Lone Wolf: The Xargath is a species of dragon-like sea monster from the Kalte sea, whose mere existence has rendered fishing impossible in those otherwise fish-rich waters. Lone Wolf encounters one at sea in Book 12, The Masters of Darkness. It can be killed with a well-placed arrow in its vulnerable ear, but otherwise it's a tough fight ahead; the Xargath has the highest Endurance score of any monster in the whole series. | |

Midgard: A sea dragon has a shark's head that tapers off into a sleek eel-like body, and is big enough to hunt whales and entire schools of tuna. The ikuchi is an immense, pale-blue, eel-like creature that measures just under a hundred feet long, native to the Plane of Water. |

Odyssey of the Dragonlords: The sea serpent is a monstrous snake that makes its home within the ocean waves. Often mistaken as a dragon due to its massive size, it's actually descended from gargantuan, primordial snakes. | |
