Combat
A serpentine dragon is fearless, and will attack any creature. They have been known to hunt elephants.
Constrict (Ex): On a successful grapple check, a serpentine dragon deals 1d6+10 points of damage as well as bite damage (and heat damage).
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a serpentine dragon must hit with its bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can constrict.
Heat (Ex): A serpentine dragon’s bite attack deals 1d6 points of fire damage.
