Zsasze

Physical Description

A long, long naga faces you. This isn’t like the ones you can summon in your spells, nor does it entirely resemble the Yuan-ti from your studies. This creature is far more serpent than man. An enormous tail snakes behind the figure as it seems to glide towards you, with purpose, with pride. Gray scales of two different shades line its body and underbelly, and orange slices of energy whisper from gaps in the plating. The figure itself from head to tail tip would have to be 15 to 20 feet long. Along his body, orange fins similar to that of angler fish stick out from his arms and back like a merman. His arms are well built and strong, tipped with a five-fingered gray clawed hand. His head has spines and plating at mixed angles, evocative of a dragonborn that time forgot. And then you get to those eyes: hypnotizing orange with a magnetic swirling pattern. Their mouth curls up into a devious smile, not malicious, but humored, as if waiting for you to fall for a prank.

Personality

They speak using as many “s” sounds as possible, even if it means going out of their way to mince their sentences and change words to fit. They seem to enjoy making the sounds, and watching those around them react. They are in no way evil or villainous: in fact, they can be highly altruistic if given the chance. They tend to enjoy making their presence known in places and conversations, sometimes verbally, but most of the time weaseling themselves in and around anyone they are conversing with. They will slither in between and around people. However, they will not constrict figures unless they are attacked. That’s not to say they don’t wrap people up or twirl themselves around legs. In fact, that’s one of their favorite things to do. If treated well, or even if treated cautiously or timidly, Zsasze is (while concerning and creepy to some degree) courteous and respectful. Of course, if attacked they will respond in kind. They seem to be mainly motivated by an interest in eating delicious rats and a notable dislike for animal cruelty, but are secretly allied to a mysterious group known as K-Ose (Chaos).

Relationships

Due to their docile nature and borderline-seducing speech, they find friends quickly. Or at least, those passive enough to not attack him on sight (their definition of friendship is quite low). They truly, however, answer to both their associate, a unicorn named Calimero, and to the demigod of chaos they both serve, a being of lightning and scales known as Aerisos.
