    As I recall the story, the tempter was only ever identified as the Serpent. They were even cursed to always go on their belly afterwards, which I don’t recall Satan doing.

    Depending on your mythology, Satan might have instigated that; but I don’t think it was ever established in the story

        So God cursed Satan to crawl on his belly forever and Satan is like LOL I’ll transform to a different shape? Seems like a weak God.

        That’s a common interpretation but it’s not actually confirmed anywhere in the bible that the serpent was Satan
