Description
A full grown bladed snake can grow over thirty feet long. It's most distinctive feature is the row of blade like growths found along it's spine and around its head. When the blade snake opens it's hood, those growths fan out impressively and act like swords as it twists and writhes in battle. The blades growing out from each side of it's spine rend victims being constricted by the huge snake.
Blade snakes come in a variety of colors dependent upon the terrain in which they call home. Tumaki blade snakes (also called Nozh Meya in high Tumaki) are most often white or silvery colored to blend in with the northern arctic environment, while blade snakes found in subterranean settings are often black and/or metallic gray. Green, tan, and brown varieties are not uncommon. Their coloration helps them hide and ambush their prey. These constrictors are quite clever and prefer the element of surprise.
