Moat Monster

The Moat Monster was the guardian of Castle Lightpool's moat.

Appearance
The Moat Monster was a scaled water-dwelling creature with yellow and green skin and coppery teeth. "The neon yellow creature that emerged from the moat had vivid green ridges running the length of a back on which scales gleamed like polished metal in the sun. The ridges and scales tapered down to a fine sharp point at the end of its long tail. Orange eyes, the size of my head, glittered from beneath sleepy lids in a head that was as long as the bandit leader had been tall. The mouth, like a red and pink bottomless pit, could have swallowed me whole, or crunched me to a pulp with coppery teeth."Jason mentioned that it has 'wintergreen fresh' breath'.
