Seran

Freshwater Lindwyrms are small, semi-aquatic members of the Lindwyrm family, inhabiting cool, fast-moving rivers and streams wherever clean, oxygen-rich water can be found. Adults average ten feet in length while rarely exceeding two feet in thickness, with most of that length consisting of a powerful serpentine tail. Their uniquely shaped forelimbs provide surprising dexterity, allowing them to swim with otter-like grace, climb slippery banks, and dig burrows into soft mud. Smooth silver-and-blue scales and small fins help them slip silently through the water, though populations living in polluted rivers often develop gold and brown coloration instead. Active predators, they feed primarily on fish but readily consume amphibians, reptiles, small mammals, and other careless prey, swallowing meals whole before digesting them over several hours. A specialized throat pouch allows them to expel bursts of scalding steam, used to defend themselves, flush prey from cover, or boil smaller animals alive. Intelligent and capable of speech, they remain endlessly curious, often splashing boats, stealing bait, or quietly watching travelers from beneath the surface. Females release hundreds of eggs into the current before returning to their territory, leaving the hatchlings to fend for themselves. Most adults live around thirty years, with females typically surviving only a few years after laying. Locals still warn: “If the river smiles back, reel in your line.”
Seran is unusually outgoing, preferring to bask openly on sunny rocks instead of hiding beneath the water. She delights in splashing caretakers, gently dragging trusted companions into her pool, and wrapping herself around them so they can float together while she digests a meal. Affectionate, playful, and endlessly curious, she loves sharing her river with anyone willing to get a little wet.
