The serket's poison is powerful. I have given you an enchantment to help you heal, but it will take time.
Kilgharrah to Merlin[src]

Serkets are large, scorpion-like creatures comparable in size to an adult human. Their stingers inject powerful venom that can kill a person if left untreated.

History[]

Morgana was attacked by Serkets while searching for the Druids in the Forest of Ascetir. Fortunately, she was rescued by Aglain, who called the Serkets away and healed the sting on her leg (The Nightmare Begins).

When Morgause caught Merlin eavesdropping on her and Morgana, she bound him with enchanted chains and left him to be attacked by Serkets. Unable to free himself, Merlin tried to force the Serkets away with his magic, but was eventually surrounded and stung in the back.

Fortunately, he managed to call for Kilgharrah before he fell unconscious. The dragon chased the Serkets away with his fiery breath and carried Merlin to safety, after which he freed him from Morgause's chains and used an enchantment to heal him of the Serket's venom (The Tears of Uther Pendragon).
