@cat -
Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent (Aztec)

Otherwise, the only other serpent/snake I can think of would be the Biblical snake in Eden.

Here's a website:

@pirateseaz Do you mean Shiva of the Hindu religion? He isn't really a snake, he just has a snake that coils around his neck and rises up(it's a cobra)

Apophis is a giant snake in Egyptian mythology that tries to swallow the sun.

The aboriginals have the Rainbow serpent, which had something to do with their myth of creation.
