Vakas

Vakas are massive snakes that can grow up to 20 meters long, 1.5 meters in diameter, and weigh 12,000 kg. All vakas are daughters of the Vakarlma. They can be found in many different environments except for regions that are cold all year. Vakas are currently one of the greatest threats to civilization. They are quite intelligent and often ambush travelers. Due to their size they can climb over the walls of many cities, making almost nobody safe from them. Thankfully it is rare for vakas to attack cities unless there is a great number of them. A vaka's skull is surprisingly weak, a strong hit the head hit a large axe or rock is enough to cause great damage. This is generally the strategy of soldiers that end up fighting vakas, though it only really works if they can get above the serpents.
