Snakes are a common creature in many of the regions where religions first appeared. They thus had signifiance to the people there, who attached certain symbolic properties to them (as they did with all animals).

In some, the snake is seen as an evil or malicious form, such as the devil of the JudaeoChristian creation account and in some Indian mythology. In others, it is seen as beneficial and sometimes instrumental in allowing creation to occur, such as many groups in Africa and Australia, and in Greek and Chinese mythology.
