Slithers is Lord Montymort's loyal snake assistant. When Montymort dies (from being stabbed in his enchanted shin by student wizard Bart Simpson), Slithers is completely grief-stricken. To Bart's and Lisa's disgust, Slithers swallows Montymort's body whole in typical snake fashion. Slithers sobs throughout the process and says, "In death we shall be together always."
