a Marsh Adder
The marsh adder was a large, aquatic serpent common throughout all marshy areas of central Endor. Especially prevalent in the Dead Marshes and Nindalf, this creature was an excellent swimmer whose mottled gray and brown scales allowed it to go all but unnoticed in the foul waters of the marshes.
Marsh adders were easily startled and bite with little provocation. Usually seeking out small creatures such as ducklings and frogs for prey, the adder would also attack larger beings if it felt threatened. Its large, curved fangs allowed it to deliver its poison deeply, so that it quickly took effect.
