Okay, I need a name for this Creature:

This creature, is sort of like the serpent in the Garden of Eden, it has legs. Lives in forest areas, is a carnivore, but it prefers human flesh.

Is it the only one of its kind? If it is a species then I see why it needs a name, but if it is just one creature then why not just call it a wyrm or the great serpent or something.

If you really need a name, why not look at scientific names of snake species for ideas?

Hmm, human flesh eating reptile...why not call it a Terros? The word 'terror' came to my mind when I thought about it. There could be one big one called "The Great Terros of Morgoth" or something. (I'm just kidding about the Morgoth part, I'm reading the Silmarillion right now).

If you want to go with a traditional name, here's a similar creature.

Oooh, I like that name! :dieshappy: It's almost a slippery, sinister-sounding name. ^_^ Very appropriate.
