History

The Slorgs, or "Serpent-Women", were abominations of the Eastern Lemurian Desert. They were allegedly the spawn of the Dark Lords, though it is unknown if it was a literal statement.

Somehow, they apparently went extinct though, ages after their supposed extinction, a large group of them was present in the Scarlet Tower of Tsargol, guarding the Star Stone for the Archdruid Yelim Pelorvis, and Drugunda Thal, sark of Tsargol. When Thongor of Valkarth came to steal the Star Stone, he killed many of those Slorgs before being incapacitated.
Sharajsha told Thongor that was what guarded the Star Stone imped of necromancy, hinting that the Slorgs of the Scarlet Tower were either created or restored through sorcery.

Notes

• The Slorgs (or "Serpent-Women"), were created by Lin Carter in "Thongor and the Wizard of Lemuria" (1965).
• They resemble female versions of the Man-Serpents of Robert E. Howard. Unlike Carter's Dragon Kings who were confirmed to be related to the Serpent-Men to which they were similar, the Slorgs' possible relation to other serpentine beings hasn't been developed so far.
• See also the She-Serpents, who might be either Stygian witches, or possibly some kind of female serpent creatures.
