Snake

Serpents/Snakes are cold blooded reptiles which have no legs and move using their body muscles. They are mostly carnivores.

In Daventry and other lands, serpents range from a variety of sizes, from the smallest of garter snakes to monstrous sea serpents.

Interestingly, snakes make an appearance in every King's Quest game:

In Adventure in Serenia/The Wizard and the Princess, there were many snakes blocking the Wanderer's way though the Endless Desert of Serenia. He had to kill them by throwing rocks and sticks to them. He finally saved the King of the Snakes who was trapped under a rock.

In KQ1, there was snake living in one of the many lakes in Daventry.

In KQ2, An Evil Enchanter had turned Pegasus into a snake -viper- because he had refused to be his mount, and Graham turned it back into its real form by giving back its bridle.

In KQ3 there were many snakes living in the desert of Llewdorwith Medusa, a snake-haired humanoid.

In KQ4 a snake -cobra- was on one of the islands at the Death Bogs of Tamir guarding the Magical Fruit.

In KQ5 there was a POISONOUS snake blocking the path to the mountains. There are also big sea serpent in the sea near Mordack's Island.

In KQ6, Shamir Shamazel turned into a snake to spy Alexander when he was using Sing-Sing to send presents to Cassima.

In KQ7, a Snake Oil Salesman runs a small cart in Falderal.

In KQ8, Connor had to fight some Water Snakes in the lower levels of the Temple of the Sun.

Throughout history serpents have been depicted as vile, evil creatures. This also seems to be true in the world of Daventry, evidenced by the satanic serpentine icons and statues in the dark wizard Mordack's castle, and by the fact that Alexander refers at many times to Alhazred as "that snake".

In the Ancient Ones language the serpent is the animal that represents the letter U.
