Scridan

Scridan is a fictional creature originating from the fantasy novel "The Dreaming" by John Grisham. These beings are described as having a serpentine appearance with scales that shimmer in various colors. They are known for their agility and speed, capable of moving swiftly through their natural habitats, which are often depicted as dense forests or ancient ruins.

In the narrative, scridans are portrayed as intelligent and cunning, often acting as guardians or guides for those who venture into their territories. Their abilities include a degree of telepathic communication, allowing them to sense the intentions of other creatures. They are not inherently malicious but will defend themselves and their homes fiercely if threatened. The exact origins and societal structure of scridans are not fully detailed in the book, leaving some aspects open to interpretation. Their role in "The Dreaming" is primarily to present a challenging yet ultimately helpful obstacle for the protagonists, testing their resolve and resourcefulness.
