Bone Serpents are placatable mobs that can be found in The Nether's Lava Seas.
Behavior[]
Bone Serpents are placatable and will attack unless the player is wearing an Unsettling Kimono or is riding a Straddleboard enchanted with Serpent Charmer.
Bone Serpents attack by jumping out of Lava and either landing on top of their target or biting their target with their jaws.
Bone Serpents often attack Wither Skeletons and Soul Vultures.
Bone Serpents are capable of swimming in Water or Lava. If on land then they will jump up and down until they either enter Water or Lava, or if they are killed.

Trivia[]
- The Bone Serpent is one of five mobs to have separate entities making up its body.
- The other four mobs are the Cave Centipede, Void Worm, Anaconda and Murmur.
- This mob was inspired by the creature of the same name from Terraria.
- Unlike the Bone Serpent from Terraria, its eyes are red instead of completely black, and Terraria Bone Serpents can fly, rather than jump out of Lava.
- One of the Bone Serpent's idle sounds is actually a Crocodile sound but lowered in pitch.
- Bone Serpents are also able to swim in water just like in lava, similar to the Stradpole.

| "The Bone Serpent is a giant, snake-like undead creature that dwells in the deep lava lakes of The Nether. It can occasionally be seen jumping out of the lava only to disappear into it again shortly after. The Bone Serpent is not only hostile to explorers, as it is also the mortal enemy of Wither Skeletons. Whenever the Bone Serpent targets a creature, it leaps out of the lava and attempts to crush its prey underneath it. If slain, the Bone Serpent explodes into piles of its bone, yet it can also drop one of its Teeth. When brewed with a Bottle of Lava, a Potion of Lava Vision can be created, which allows one to see through Lava as if it were Water." |
