Slitherhen

Sliterhen is an enemy in Mother 3. Slitherhens are snake/chicken hybrids. They first appear near Tazmily Village, where they are plentiful. They attack the party by coiling around the target using their snake part or by pecking them by using their chicken part. Their name is a portmanteau of the word slither, which usually relates to how snakes move, and hen.
