Yellow Belly [Sea Serpent]
A vivid yellow, tadpole-shaped giant up to 100 feet long whose bite is so enormous it does damage in multiples of five.
Appearance
Rarely met and vaguely described, it is tadpole-shaped and up to 100 feet long. A broad flat head flows seamlessly into a flat body that ends in a very long, tapering tail. It is a striking yellow with a black spinal stripe and black bands across its flanks.
Combat
Use common whale statistics with maximum Hit Dice. It attacks only by biting, for 3d4x5 damage.
Ecology
Reported solely from tropical seas, it is too poorly known for anyone to say what sort of creature it is, or whether it is real.
