Notes:

• Lottery Spawn at F-9 along the western seashore from the 4 Jagil in the surf, approximately every 2 hours.
• Around 4200HP
• Killable by: 2 characters level 50+. 75 BLM solo with random gear but barely made it and very resistant to Sleep if not immune. Not a problem in the least to a 75 BRD simply using Paeon and a Rapier.
• Appears to have Dragon Killer trait.

Historical Background

In Medieval folklore, the Serra is a large creature which is a combination of a fish, a lion, and a bird. It vaguely resembled a dragon, but had feathered wings and a body that was a cross of a fish and a lion. It would cause ships to sink by cutting into them with the serrated crest along its back. It appears in Philippe de Thaun's Bestiaire (1120s CE). It was apparently based on the sawfish. Serra is the Latin word meaning "saw". The Spanish word sierra is derived from serra.
