'''Sea serpents''' are gigantic [[aquatic]] [[Creature|predators]] who inhabit [[savage]] [[ocean]]s. Purely aquatic creatures, sea serpents will not leave water to attack your [[Dwarf|dwarves]], but any dwarf that foolishly falls in will not have long to live. At 9,000,000 cm³, they're one of the largest creatures found in the sea. Sea serpents can appear in any savage ocean, but have a population limit of one per [[biome]] - so if you want more than one to appear, you'll need an embark where two different ocean biomes overlap. They can have children, but will only lay one [[egg]] at a time. Young sea serpents become adults at the [[age]] of six, but do not reach their full size until they are twenty years old. They have an extremely long (for a non-sapient creature) lifespan, living to be 150 to 170 years old - the same as dwarves.
 
 
 
Sea serpents have been [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=75780.0 discussed] as a replacement for [[merperson|merfolk]] in aquatic farming operations due to their high body part multiplier as well as their massive size. Unfortunately, they cannot currently [[breed]] due to a bug with submerged [[nest box]]es.{{bug|4105}} While described as limbless, they in fact possess both front and rear flippers, which presumably makes them resemble some sort of draconic plesiosaurus.
 
 
 
Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] sea serpents for their ''majesty''.
