Serpentine (Freedom Planet)

"You think you can just walk into this conflict, don't you? Well I have news for you... This isn't your fight!"

"Those who cross Brevon will die!"

- Serpentine

Serpentine is a major villain from the indie video game Freedom Planet. He is a mechanically modified snake in service to Lord Brevon.

He is voiced by Jason Lord.

Profile
Serpentine is a fanatic loyalist who is Brevon's most powerful mercenary. As a viper, he himself had always wished to have arms, so when Brevon offered him mechanical arms, he couldn't refuse. Of course, it came with a price; upon equipping these arms, he was sadly infected with a virus that drove him to the point of insanity and made him completely obedient to Brevon's will.

Serpentine is shown to be an expert with artillery. As a matter of fact, he can be seen with a gun or two, or he can also use a flamethrower as a means of attack. He's also a remarkable pilot, shown with knowledge on how to control a transforming Robopanther or even an attack chopper from within their cockpits. On his own, he is even capable of gliding above the ground faster than a normal snake. He's fairly powerful on his own, which makes him a formidable opponent, but his over-the-top ego, along with his excessive loyalty to Brevon, are in fact his biggest weaknesses.

When he mutates within the Dreadnought ship before fighting the heroines for the last time, he becomes a draconic version of himself roughly twice as big as his original appearance. In this form, he can lunge forward with his arms with force, shoot flames along the ground, or fire lasers from his fingers.

Trivia

 * Serpentine is fought three times throughout the game, four if the player character is Lilac. The first (two) times he is fought is in Fortune Night, the second in Jade Creek, and the third and final fight with him occurs in Final Dreadnought Round 2.
 * In the ending credits, Serpentine is confirmed to be alive and well after his last fight with the heroines. He has returned to his limbless snake form, which was just hiding inside the armor that was left behind after said battle, and he, after crawling out of his armor, screams twice that it's impossible as he despairs over the loss of his arms.
