The serpent began to coil itself into a tighter and tighter bundle, its massive body folding and twisting in ways that seemed almost impossible given its enormous size and the apparent rigidity of its scales.
Then, from within the depths of that coiled mass, a thick and swirling purple mist began to rise, spreading outward until it covered the creature's entirety in an opaque shroud of magical fog blocking vision.
When the mist finally dissipated and cleared, revealing what lay beneath.
I saw that the serpent had transformed itself into a completely different form. Standing before me now was a large giant.
A humanoid figure that towered several times higher than a normal person, with two great and curved horns sprouting from the sides of its head.
Dark sclera surrounded its eyes instead of the normal white, and purple pupils glowed faintly in the center of the dark tunnels.
