Question: Help me figure out an antagonist group name!.!?
That isn't serpant, maybe like a play on words like a kenning or something!.!. I need a nickname for the escapee group to call the government in one of my stories, and I was thinking something to do with snakes, but if you can come up with something better than by all means, thanks a lot everyone!Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The government could be called Medusa from Greek Mythology (snakes for hair)

or Hydra (another greek monster) http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Lernaean_Hy!.!.!.

Leviathan-- a sea monster or sea serpent http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Leviathan

Ophites--Ancient snake worshipers: http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Ophites

also if your escapee group is sort of like Freedom Fighters or if they have spies in the government they could be called Snake Charmers!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

You could try something based on "ophidian":
