Properties[]

The user with this ability either is or can transform into a snake deity, a god/goddess who represents or is associated with snakes, both venomous or non venomous. Snake Deities are common in mythology and were important among the civilizations they were present in, like Egypt, Mexico, Africa, Australia and Asia (especially India).

This shouldn’t be solely confused with transcendent dragons who are just god-level and/or god-like dragons, were snake/serpent deities can possess both the abilities of snakes and dragons depending on the type of snake/serpent deity in question they are in their respective mythologies and what is covered within their domains. However, they predominately possess more snake-like features in history and generally possess power over snakes.
