Make way for some blue beauties! Both the blue lipped sea krait (Laticauda laticaudata) and the Malayan blue coral snake ( Calliophis bivirgatus) are elapids in the family Elapidae, characterized by short fangs that are fixed in place in their upper jaw. The blue lipped sea krait is found in the western Pacific and Indian ocean where they eat mainly fish, especially eels, and they have a flatter, paddle like tail that helps them swim quickly through the water. There was a myth that these sea kraits' mouths were too small to bite a human, but in reality it seems that the blue banded sea krait is simply a generally calm, docile snake that is typically reluctant to bite people (although it is certainly not a good idea to test those limits!) The Malayan blue coral snake is found in Southeastern Asia, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and Burma. They favor forests, and can often be found burrowing in the dirt and leaves on the forest floor. They often feed on other snakes, including other venemous snakes, and unlike other elapids the venom of the Malayan blue coral snake is not neurotoxic but instead contains a cytotoxin that paralyzes their prey. Interestingly, while their venom is deadly it is also being studied to see if its properties may be useful in treating chronic pain in humans!
Someone told me herp is like hero.. a heroic snake ? I could imagine it and view that thought with love and enjoy the idea of a heroic snake

Master List
—————————————————————————
He would have killed anyone else who stumbled into his cave, who trespassed on his turf. However, there’s just something about the innocence behind those wide eyes that has him second guessing whether he should off you or not.
The way you fumble to step back, yet still keeping your orbs fixed on him, it honestly amuses him. He doesn’t even remember the last time he laughed so genuinely.
He decides that he will not kill you. He can’t just let you go either. No, he decides he will keep you and make you his mate.
He’s good at playing the long game. You know how he loves his games. He knows it’s necessary when it comes to you. He’s quite the passionate snake, taking the mantra “she will learn to love me” to heart.
It’s understandable, really. He has kept you from your village, what you’ve known for all of your life. Now, he has thrust upon you a new way of living.
Based on what we see of him in MHA, he is very caring and looks out for his people, for those who work for him, for those who put their lives on the line for his cause. I can’t help but think he’d do the same for you.
He loves you so much and sees you as the woman of his dreams. He now knows why he’s been so bitter in the past. It’s because he hasn’t had you in his life until now.
Shiggy is BIG on cuddles. He wraps the end of his tail around your ankle, pulling you closer and closer to him until you’re plush against the softness of his underbelly. He coils himself around you, wrapping you up until you’re safely in his arms.
Another thing he is big on is providing for you. When he hunts, he puts a large boulder in front of the cave’s entrance. That way, he doesn’t have to worry about you leaving. Hunting is something he absolutely loves to do. He loves to see the full bellied, satisfied look in your eyes. He views feeding you as a special gift. He wouldn’t do it for just anyone. He only does it for you.
The Shigster is prone to fits of rage when things don’t exactly go his way. He threatens to eat you a lot. It always works because he’s so unpredictable that you don’t really know if he’ll do it or not. Either way, you just don’t want to make him angry and face whatever kind of punishment he has brewing in his mind.
Shiggy Shigs LOVES to play games with you, especially Find My Love. It’s a game where he lets you run far from the cave, giving you a pretty good amount of time as he closes his eyes, crosses his arms, and lets you run off. He always ends up finding you, using his tongue to sniff you out as well as his acute nose. This way, you get to release some steam and touch grass while he gets to show you how much he loves you by tracking you down and tackling you. 🫠
I imagine Yan!Naga Shigaraki resembles a blue coral snake (or blue Malayan coral snake) with his bottom half from hips to tail.
The blue coral snake has blue scales mixed into the outer characteristics as well as sporting a red head, red tip, and red underside. The red reminds me of Shigaraki’s eyes. Though he wouldn’t have a red head, because his hair would still be blue and his face would still be the same color as in the show, I think the tip of his tail and underside would match the same red hue as his eyes. This particular snake also has what is known as “a unique kind of venom that most snakes don’t have” (Bouchard, Blue Coral Snakes Have Venom Unlike Any Other Snake). Because of Shigaraki’s unique and deadly quirk, I feel this is the most befitting characteristic for him. Not only is the venom lethal, it’s fast acting just like his quirk.
Pictures here so you can get a better image of what the blue coral snake looks like:
I’m so sorry I’m such a biology nerd. I didn’t mean to turn this into a fucking essay on snakes.
I have a snake character in DnD, and while I know that's extremely fictional, (and they're also half-dragon), your blog is making me want to give them a specific snake species. Are there any blue snakes? Or snakes you think would be most likely to be criminals?
Super cool! I love this question, the categories of "blue snakes" and "snakes that would be criminals" are very fun ones. :)
Blue is a pretty rare color, but there are a few really blue snakes!
The white-lipped tree pit viper has a well-known and beautiful blue phase:
Blue racers are stunning:
Variable bush vipers can be a lovely soft blue/grey:
Malayan blue coral snakes are beautiful:
And as for snakes that are likely criminals...
Ratsnakes are master escape artists, and can be very sassy to boot! Vietnamese blue beauties can fit both your criteria.
Spitting cobras, especially black forest cobras, are little criminals. They look polite but they are not. Take, for example, the spitting cobra incident.
Mambas are the most likely criminals in my book! They're strong, smart, and have no qualms with causing issues.
Ik you're mostly a Sinclair poster (a very good one at that) but do you have any animal associations for Dante? Or any of the other sinners for that matter
YES YES ACTUALLY!!! SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS ASK...
I have a list of animal associations for project moon characters in general... I'm still working on it but I eventually want to get to background characters too like the optional ruina receptions etc. But currently these are my thoughts for limbus...
Dante: Merulanella blister/tricolor isopod (a perfect match if you ask me... very expensive collectionist morph too). This might change once we know more about them though!
For Verg and Charon I still have to think some up... But Charon is giving mustelid I must say
Yi Sang: Hooded crow + cicada
Dongbaek: Caramel crow!! (This would be a regular American crow, caramel is a mutation that's still being researched which gives them a creamy brown coloration)
Samjo: Great auk (extinct diver bird/penguin) + Royal tern + otter
Faust: Rock ptarmigan + wooly aphid (still want to look for more...)
Don Quixote: Quagga + Bearded vulture + Monitor lizard
Ryoshu: Horned owl + Dragontail butterfly + Moth (still need to look into species) + ratsnake/black mamba (reference to Hell Screen)
Meursault: Honestly very hard choice... Mostly for personality reasons, I've been thinking of a Nurse shark + MAYBE badger (noctural + def. want an omnivore in there) + Clam or something
Hong Lu: Mantis shrimp + lemur + Sinosauropteryx (chinese compsognathid with conserved pigments of a ringed tail!)
Heathcliff: Aardwolf + Bronze-tailed peacock-pheasant (want to look for more too...)
Sonya: Leucistic amur leopard + Mediterranean fruit fly
Sinclair (more details...): Eurasian sparrowhawk + indeterminate canine traits. I imagine him as a bilateral gynandromorph (half male/female mutation), inspired by the real recorded specimens of lazuli buntings and canaries.
Demian: Malayan blue coral snake + Boelen's python + Luzon bleeding-heart dove. Pondering on lamb motif + maybe some traces of corvid
Kromer: Mountain lion + Hercules beetle grub + red headed centipede + some mantid perhaps (looking into it)
Outis: Przewalski's horse, or maybe a Mustang (debating, I'm not as informed about equines !) + Harris Hawk + Black headed python
Gregor: Painted trilobite cockroach (infestation) + Ensign wasp (main/original body) + House centipede
Bio: Nega for hire, more often then not gets dragged around as the local knight's wing man…err snake.
Has accrued many bounties on his head for pilfering people's shiny possessions predominantly invaluable things like silverware, pitchforks, goblets and clothes pins.
Can be found by sleeping anywhere warm and dry, vary poisonous but often docile.
Totally not a socially starved snek that deliberately makes himself accessible to be dragged along with any crazy party that will hire him…nope not him.
Species: Naga -Blue malayan coral snake.
Temperament: Moody, cynical, perpetually done with everyones s*it.
Travia: Is a kleotomaniac, will curl up and play did if startled enough, cold blooded. Max rank monster poising as a lv two newbie. Likes dragons. Needs friends.

Likes: Large households, helping, having friends, playing, playing outside, exercising,
Dislikes: Small households, being bored, being alone, small spaces,
Compatibility: These bitties love and do best in larger households where they can have a lot of friends and don't have to be alone!
Due to the fact they never want to be alone they do really well with clingy bitties and bitties that don't like being away from their friends! And rarely get annoyed by this, and normally when they do it's because they're bored,
These bitties can easily get the zoomies! This is a good thing and it means they feel safe and comfertable! Though they need the space to slither/zoom/bounce around when they get the zoomies!
Giving these bitties supervised outside time is recommended if possible! These bitties should me supervised as much as possible for at least the first few weeks and whenever they are outside, no matter their size!
These bitties are very prone to accidents and often need extra help with things!
Feeding habits: These bitties arent very picky and will eat just about anything, though they love to help in the kitchen!
Additional info: These bitties are afraid of being alone and often don't do well in smaller households due to this!
Zone: N/A, Inside, Plains,
In Universe: These bitties are seen as hard to care for but absolute sweethearts!
Difficulty: Intermediate - Advanced
Features:
Main colors: Black, blue,
Secondary colors: Blue
Extra: N/A
Additional info: They're mostly black with blue race stripes going down their sides and a blue underbelly
- He is the deputy of Scuteclan. Scuteclan is a clan full of cats with reptile/amphibian like traits, such as hallow fangs like venomous snakes or color changing fur like chameleons.
- He became deputy after the old deputy was murdered. He found the killer and reported it to the leader, who then made him deputy. At first, most cats didn't think he was good enough but after a month, he proved himself worthy of the job.
- Anacondajester has a snake tail and can hold his breath underwater for 50 minutes.
- He got his prefix because of his pelt.
- He got his suffix because of his personality.
- He has two moms! One is a swimmer named Yellowtimber and the other is a climber named Gilaflower. His parents are still together and are in a happy relationship.
- He has two siblings that were born recently. They are named Pythonkit and Beadkit. He loves them and will fight anyone who even looks at them with slight disapproval.
- His best friends are two twins. The older twin is a swimmer named Frogshell and the younger twin is a medic named Hummingfrog.
- He had an apprentice before he became deputy. Their name is Coralpounce, and they are quiet and reserved but very sweet. His current apprentice is Rattlepaw. She is a spunky little cat who has a rattle at the end of her tail and vemon. Her climber name will be Rattlewave.
- Anacondajester is in a loving relationship with Platypuspond. He loves him dearly and wishes to be with him constantly but knows that it wouldn't be good for either tom. He has thoughts about leaving his clan with his family and running away with Platypuspond but fears they would be caught. He hasn't told his family about his relationship.
Wow! I'm on a roll! These were so damn fun to draw!!!! I loved designing these funky cats. I will go over what all of them are and I'm sorry if I sound like a nerd. I'm going to school for herpetology, the study of reptiles and amphibians, and I just had a great time. Bear with me while I infodump hehe.
Anacondajester is obviously based off a green Anaconda.
Yellowtimber is modeled after the yellow Anaconda.
Gilaflower is from the Gila monster. Which I think look neat.
Beadkit comes from the Mexican Beaded lizard who is a close relative of the Gila!
Pythonkit is based off of a Ball python since I have one. I'm biased.
Coralpounce is from a Coral snake but more specifically a Malayan blue coral snake. They look super pretty! I'll probably make a normal coral snake later.
Rattlepaw is obviously based off a Rattlesnake. Maybe l'll redesign her to be a specific Rattlesnake. Probably a Pygmy Rattlesnake because they are cute and smol!
Frogshell is based off of a Glass frog. If I ever do a full body of him, I'll have his skin see through.
Hummingfrog is based off a Milk frog! My favorite frog!!!
I hope you guys like them!!! Next will be Snailmottle and OH BOY! I'm going to have fun with them. Have a great day guys!
'Have you heard of the blue Malayan coral snake?' A̡nt̛į asks. 'Found in Southeast Asia. It's fucking beautiful. And it produces a neurotoxin that triggers paralysis and spasms. But it's not typically aggressive. Not like, say, a king cobra—which can also paralyze you, particularly your lungs!' He sounds delighted by the idea of that. 'Though even the cobra only attacks when threatened. Most snakes don't bother humans unless they bother them.'
Down in the p̀i͝t below, J͟ac͠k has almost cut all the strings.
Slithering in is a match between two true beauties! The blue Malayan coral snake (Calliophis bivirgatus), like many brightly colored animals, uses its coloration as a warning sign to tell potential predators (or curious humans) that they are venomous. The blue Malayan coral snake shares much of its range with a similarly blue colored snake--the red-headed reed snake (Calamaria schlegeli). However, the red-headed reed snake is a nonvenomous colubrid that may be taking advantage of Batesian mimicry, copying the coloration of the blue Malayan coral snake and other brightly colored snakes because of the protection against predators that instinctively avoid these flashy warning signs. The white-lipped python (Leiopython albertisii) has a pattern that serves a different, but important purpose. The iridescence of the white-lipped python's scales is caused by cells known as iridophores that reflect and refract the light to give that rainbow sheen. It is thought that iridophores may spread and diffuse the heat of the sun, helping to keep the white-lipped python cool in their hot native tropical forests!
Aipysurus duboisii (Dubois' Sea Snake) - slightly aggressive; true sea snake; north of Australia and parts of southwestern Pacific Ocean; inhabits shallow reef waters and sandy bottoms;
Aipysurus eydouxii (Spine-Tailed Sea Snake) - not easily provoked; true sea snake; north of Australia and around tropical islands of Southeastern Asia; inhabits shallow bay waters and muddy estuarine bottoms;
Aipysurus laevis (Olive Brown Sea Snake) - highly venomous and inquisitive; true sea snake; north of Australia and southwestern Pacific Ocean; inhabits coral reef waters;
Aipysurus pooleorum (Shark Bay Sea Snake) - highly venomous; true sea snake; Shark Bay, west of Australia; inhabits limestone reefs, seabed, and seagrass floor;
Calloselasma rhodostoma (Malayan Pitviper) - highly venomous and irritable; Southeastern Asia; terrestrial and usually nocturnal; often found near agricultural lands;
Causus rhombeatus (Common Night Adder)
Cerastes cerastes (Horned Viper)
Cerastes gasperettii (Arabian Horned Viper)
Cerastes vipera (Sahara Sand Viper)
Cerrophidion godmani (Godman's Montane Pitviper)
Cerrophidion sasai (Costa Rica Montane Pitviper)
