anguiform - n., snake-shaped, serpentine.
Discworld readers will, of course, reach for another possibility. But no, this is another Latin-rooted shape-of word -- if one of the lesser-known ones, possibly because we already have the perfectly serviceable serpentine -- from anguis, snake + -form, still meaning more or less the same as it did. Can apparently also apply to movement as well as shape.
