Whispering Death

The Whispering Death (Mortem sursurrus) is a Snake Wyvern that likes dark, cave-like areas. It has tremendous burrowing ability and keeps itself aloft with its tiny wings. Unlike the Siren, a winged Snake Wyvern as well, it cannot technically attack from the air as its body is always held close to the ground.

In-Game Information
A reclusive Snake Wyvern that digs vast, maze-like nests. It doesn't roar, but keeps its voice to an inaudible whisper. Sneaking up on prey from below, it chews them up with countless rotating teeth. Beware its fire whirlwind.

Introductory Cutscene
Location: Tide Island Area 5

Synopsis: The ground momentarily quakes beneath the hunter as he/she enters the cavernous area. Only dim shafts of light make it this far down beneath the island's surface, creating a dark atmosphere and adding to its dreadful vibe.

The ground shakes again, and visible clouds of dust are churned into the air. The hunter stops and looks around, seeing what looks like a trail of earth moving swiftly toward another end of the cave - where the hunter suddenly sees a full-grown Bulldrome preparing to charge! The hunter tenses up and prepares to jump out of the way of the Bulldrome...

...when all of a sudden, a serpentine menace erupts from out of the ground and swallows the Pelagus whole! The Whispering Death slides to a halt directly in front of the hunter, and it breathes its pungent breath into the hunter's face, who recoils at the smell of Bulldrome flesh. The Whispering Death coils up to its full height, beats its tiny wings, and opens its mouth, revealing a monstrous set of independently-rotating rows of sharp teeth. With a soft hiss, it prepares to attack the hunter, and the hunt begins.
