A giant limbless dragon that lives in the sea.

Sea serpents are giant aquatic predators with serpentine bodies. Purely aquatic creatures, sea serpents will not leave water to attack your dwarves, but any dwarf that foolishly falls in will not have long to live. Sea serpents can appear in any ocean, but have a population limit of one per biome. 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 discussed as a replacement for 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 boxes.Bug:4105
