SkySerpents

SkySerpents are a fictional species of airborne reptilian creatures that inhabit the upper atmosphere of certain planets. They are characterized by their long, serpentine bodies, typically ranging from twenty to fifty feet in length, and a series of translucent, wing-like membranes that run along their sides. These membranes allow them to glide and maneuver through the air with remarkable agility.

Their coloration varies greatly, often mimicking the hues of the sky to provide camouflage. Some SkySerpents exhibit iridescent scales that shimmer with the changing light, while others possess dull, matte finishes. Their heads are usually small and streamlined, featuring large, keen eyes adapted for spotting prey from great distances. They are believed to be carnivorous, subsisting on smaller flying organisms or atmospheric plankton.

Little is known about their reproductive habits or social structures, as their high-altitude environment makes them difficult to study. Theories suggest they may lay eggs in suspended nests or that they are ovoviviparous. Encounters with SkySerpents are rare and often fleeting, leading to many unanswered questions about their biology and behavior. Their existence is primarily a subject of folklore and speculative fiction.
