🐍 Serpent

The Serpent is a dangerous flying monster in Stardew Valley, found exclusively in the Skull Cavern. It resembles a green, dragon-like serpent that swoops rapidly toward the player to deal heavy contact damage. Serpents are among the most threatening enemies in the Skull Cavern due to their speed and tendency to appear in swarms.

Defeating Serpents is tied to the Adventurer’s Guild Monster Eradication Goals, rewarding the player with the Napalm Ring after killing 250 of them.
