Titanophis



Titanophis is a Snake Wyvern.

English: Titanophis

Japanese: チタノフィス (Chitanofisu)

Roman: Gigas serpens

Physiology
Titanophis is a large, predominantly light gray Snake Wyvern with a snake-like face and a cream-colored striated underbelly. Titanophis's eyes are a ruby red color. Its backside is speckled with blue-gray spots. Its has a pair of large clawed forearms like Najarala, but the only remnants of hind-limbs it has are small spurs.

Abilities
Titanophis lacks any venom or elemental powers. As a result, it relies on constriction to stop the blood flow of prey and therefore, oxygen.

Behavior
Titanophis is an ambush predator that hides among the treetops where its cream colored underbelly is hidden by the sunlight if one were to look up. The creature initially strikes at its prey and holds on, pulling the prey into its coils or, in the case of very large prey, pulling itself onto the prey and will then wrap coils around the prey. The Snake Wyvern then monitors the prey's heartbeat to ascertain when it is dead.

Habitat
Titanophis is seen within a large variety of environments such as the Everwood, Flooded Forest, Forest and Hills, Great Forest, Jungle, Sunken Hollow, Swamp, and the Primal Forest.

Etymology
Titanophis's name is derived from Titanoboa and Gigantophis; both are large prehistoric snakes. Gigantophis, at 33 ft long, was regarded as the largest snake ever until the discovery of Titanoboa in 2002, which measures about 49 ft in length.
