The Sea Serpent was a massive serpentine creature that lived deep in the Eastern Ocean of Narnia. It is implied that there is only one such creature but very little is known about it. Many have, foolishly, wanted to see it. However, it is hostile to seafarers and seems to lack intelligence.
Dawn Treader Encounter[]
The crew of the Dawn Treader encountered a Sea Serpent on their voyage, somewhere between Burnt Island and Deathwater Island. After rising out of the sea, it coiled itself around the ship, apparently in an attempt to break it in two. Due to the serpent's extremely strong hide, swords and arrows were useless against it. Eustace broke Caspian's second-best sword by hacking in vain at the beast. Only by following Reepicheep's advice to push the coils over the stern of the ship was the crew able to escape catastrophe; the only damage incurred was the loss of the decorative dragon-tail carving at the stern. Lucy thought that she saw a look of idiotic satisfaction on the creature's face, and she thought that it must be very stupid, for instead of turning around and pursuing the ship, it nosed along its coils as if expecting to find the wreckage of the ship there. Thus the Dawn Treader was able to escape.
