Lore
Slowly, a halo is growing back behind its head. Haloserpent fell further than anything and is climbing out one scale at a time. Every scrap of Grace it earns hurts. It keeps earning it.
The Apophis Basilisk
Once a holy serpent; something got into it and stayed, and it has run molten ever since. Of all the fallen it has gone furthest down, which is why its way back is the widest. The Binders say the deepest dark remembers light the best.
