The Crested viper (formerly known as Crestpent) is a semi-recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series.
Description
The Crested viper looks like an average snake. However, there are four large red protrusions originating from its head, which look like crests, giving the Crested viper its name.
Appearances
Dragon Quest IV
Dragon Quest VII
Characteristics
Sly slithering serpeants that scare would be attackers with their awesome red crest, sliding up to bite while they're distracted. In battle they've been known to strangle and squish opponents by wrapping themselves around their body and crushing them with constriction. They also boast the sneaky Sap spell, allowing them to break the defence of a single target.
