''Invoking the name of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veles_(god) Veles] and holding the god's holy symbol aloft, you toss forth the slab of meat with the embedded ruby and sapphire to call forth the primal elements he commands - — the water and the earth — — to create a gigantic snake made of [[SRD:Water Elemental|water]] and [[SRD:Earth Elemental|earth]] [[SRD:Elemental|elementals]]. The snake hisses ominously, then proceeds to violently smother your foes. You smirk as you watch the carnage unfold, witnessing Veles's pet obliterate the infidels who defy his will.''
You summon a [[SRD:Colossal|Colossal]] serpent ([[SRD:Elemental Type|Elemental type]]), well over 150 feet long, made of numerous [[SRD:Water Elemental|water]] and [[SRD:Earth Elemental|earth]] [[SRD:Elemental|elementals]]. This great serpent is essentially an exemplar of Veles's power, dispatched to aid the caster, and as such, it has numerous unique characteristics. The [[SRD:Hit Dice|Hit Dice]] of your ''Veles serpent'' is equal to your [[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]], so statistical values that are dependent on level/Hit Dice (like [[SRD:Base Attack Bonus|base attack bonus]], ranks in [[SRD:Skills|skills]], and base [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throw]] bonuses) aren't included or factored into the statistics block. You'll have to calculate those for yourself. (The ''Veles serpent'' prefers to take ranks in [[SRD:Spot Skill|Spot]], [[SRD:Listen Skill|Listen]], [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]], [[SRD:Move Silently Skill|Move Silently]], [[SRD:Swim Skill|Swim]], [[SRD:Bluff Skill|Bluff]], and [[SRD:Intimidate Skill|Intimidate]], but [[SRD:Climb Skill|Climb]], [[SRD:Use Rope Skill|Use Rope]], and [[SRD:Spellcraft Skill|Spellcraft]] are also considered class skills for it. Use Rope is only a class skill because of its use of Chthonic Serpent maneuvers.)
