Grandfather Ara?anaqlta'a. None but the araganaqlta'a themselves know whether the creature (or creatures) called Grandfather Araganaqlta'a is actually a unique creature or merely an honorific granted to the eldest, wisest, and most powerful of their kind. They may be primordial scions of some elder being or a material embodiment of the spiritual essence of snakes. What is certain is that any creature bearing the title of Grandfather Araganaqlta'a has command of virtually every snake within his domain and often have either created or attracted many new species of snakes unobserved anywhere else.
