Serponts[1] are indigo snake enemies with a yellow underside that wear pots on their heads in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They slowly move forward, but if their pot is broken, they swiftly chase the player. If the player traps the Serpont between two objects in one place, they will stare at the screen with their mouth open.[2] Some can be seen hiding in pots facing up, but they start moving shortly after. They also slightly resemble the tsuchinoko, a Japanese mythical creature.
