==Useful Info==
The '''Serpent of Hell''' is a unique dragon whose elemental affinity varies based on which branch of [[Hell]] you encounter it in. When faced in [[Gehenna]], the Serpent is capable of breathing great gouts of [[fire]] and [[hellfire]], and is completely immune to both.

==Tips & Tricks==
*Preparations for Gehenna largely render you ready for handling this iteration of the Serpent of Hell; while you'll always be susceptible to its Hellfire attacks, two or three ranks of fire resistance render its Fire Breath much less devastating. If you ''don't'' have that degree of fire resistance already, however, expect to take massive damage.
