MHEX:
''A Myriaceran that lives in cold enviroments, it's jaws are dripping with venom, and it's claws rend flesh. It's spit freezes prey and foes alike solid. Said to prey on Jade Barroth.''

Taxonomy
Serpix is a Myriaceran, a group of Centipede/Millipede like creatures that also includes the poisonous Millispore, The violent Thresheramaw, the desert dwelling Cruskle, and others.

Habitat
Serpix has only been seen in cold enviroments like the Bitterchilled Tundra thus far.

Biology/Behavior
Serpix is a very aggressive predator, using it's freezing fluids it spits to freeze smaller prey solid to ensure an easy kill. If facing larger, more powerful prey, however, It will use it's venom in it's jaws to subdue the said prey. It has to compete with other powerful predators, such as Zamtrios, Barioth, Seregios, Tidal Najarala, Deviljho, Rajang, Wilolu, and the occasional Thresheramaw. But with their venom and freezing liquids, the Serpix is a powerful predator in it's own right, and is not to be taken lightly.

It is said to be a predator of the Jade Barroth, an insectivorous Brute wyvern, using it's venomous jaws to subdue the brute wyvern, but due to the Jade Barroth's aggression, this may just be a rumor, since Serpix prefers to feed on the more helpless and defensless prey.

People should be warned that Serpix has no qualms with eating people, so caution is advised when encountering a Serpix.
