The '''Cosmic Serpent''', also known as '''Dromlach'''{{Fn|3}} or '''Saim'''{{Fn|4}}, is a significant legendary figure in [[Eldar]] myth. It is said to have existed in both the [[Materium|material]] and [[Immaterium|psychic]] realms at the same time.{{Fn|3a}}

Dromlach, the Cosmic Serpent, is also described in various other mythologies, creation myths, and folk legends, including that of the native [[Baal]]ite religion. Dromlach is used as a metaphor for death by various cultures, a symbol of the journey from one state of existence to another. Dromlach is described as having been born of belief, and exists outside of time of space.{{Fn|3a}} The [[Eye of Dromlach]], a location referenced by [[Inquisitor]] [[Bronislaw Czevak]], is an [[Aeldari]] site of great importance that contains a [[Webway Gate]].{{Fn|3b}}

The Cosmic Serpent is the symbol and namesake of the Eldar [[Craftworld]] [[Saim-Hann]],{{Fn|2}} where "Saim" is an [[Eldar Lexicon|Eldar Word]] meaning both "snake" and "secret knowledge" and his rune communicates both concepts.{{Fn|7}}
