Snake-Lubac

Snake-Lubac is said to be an evil demonic figure who takes on the work of a giant
snake. It’s more commonly known the “the fiery serpent” due to it descending to
Earth in a huge ball of fire. But when it arrives on Earth it takes on the form of a
human. More specifically, the form of a lost love to whoever it appears in front of.
Maybe it’s a man’s widow, or a grieving young woman. The snake tricks them into
believing their lover never died, and they were just imagining it.
