A wam serpent was a type of serpent animal lifeform, found for example in the Talthar Highlands on Qo'noS. (GKN short story: "loDnI'pu' vavpu' je") Wam serpents could sense weakness, and would only strike when appropriate. Lorgh of Klingon Imperial Intelligence once compared Romulans to wam serpents, and Kaasin, wife of Mogh and mother to Worf compared Ja'rod to a wam serpent. (TLE novel: The Art of the Impossible)
