Sea Serpents

First apperance: Ultima IV

Last apperance: Ultima IX



Description

Dragons not only live on land and in the air, but also in the sea. The Sea Serpent is a Dragon, perfectly adapted to water. It attacks ships on sea with its fire breath and magic abilities. Intelligent, they stay at a distance for their own safety. Warriors are helpless against this kind of attack, and have to trust the ship's cannons to deal with the foe.

Sea Serpents logically are only encountered at sea.

Evolution in the series

Sea Serpents stayed the same after Ultima IV, however, in Ultima IX, they did a strange transformation away from the serpent form, with no explanation at all. An off-shot of them are in Ultima VII/2 the Frost Serpents.
