Ouroboros

Ouroboros ( D. serpentis ) (a.k.a. world serpents) are a species of enormous serpentine deities which inhabit the oceans of Zawādo, they are also considered to be false dragons by many. Ouroboros possess massive bodies, and often multiple heads, with some stretching for kilometres, which led to many peoples in the times of yore to believe their bodies to coil around all oceans, earning them the name of world serpents. Ouroboros are also known for their regenerative abilities, with many surviving severe decapitation attempts, and some even fully regenerating from minuscule remains of their carcasses within but a few years. Due to this, many attempts on ouroboros hailed as victories, actually ended with the serpents ‘reincarnating’ years later.

Known individuals include: Apep, Echidna, Hydra, Illuyanka, Jörmungandr, Lotan, Ness, Rahab, Scylla, Tiamat, Typhon, Vritra, and Yammu.

Trivia

 * Due to their massive size, ouroboros are arguably the largest extant species of parafae, and possibly all lifeforms.
 * The ouroboros symbol typically depicts an individual biting its own tail, this in reference to the old superstition that ouroboros bodies encircled the entire world, so the tail was though to be bitten onto, or wrapped around the serpents’ heads.
