slitherer
Serpent in grass
A slitherer is something that slithers—moves with a smooth, sliding motion like a snake.
The word most often describes snakes themselves or snake-like creatures: The slitherer disappeared into the tall grass.
It can apply figuratively to people who move stealthily or behave in an untrustworthy, snake-like manner.
