En Ölümcül 10 Yılan Türü Bu sürüngenlerden biriyle karşılaşmanız hayatınıza mal olabilir. Tıslıyorlar, sürünüyorlar ve ne yazık ki şüphelenmedikleri avları ve insanları ısırıyorlar. Dünya Sağlık Örgütü’ne göre, yılanlar her yıl yaklaşık 5,4 milyon insanı ısırarak 81.000 ila 138.000 arasında ölüme neden oluyor. Zehirli yılanlar, kurbanlarını, dişlerini kullanarak avına enjekte ettiği değiştirilmiş…

About the question you answered six days ago about touching venom, umm, what about the Golden Lancehead? You know the snake species that live exclusively on an island called “Ilha da Queimada Grande” and is quarantined by the Brazilian Navy?
Golden lanceheads (Bothrops insularis) are not an exception to the rule that venom will not hurt you if it only gets on your skin (no snakes are). In fact, because golden lanceheads live exclusively on an island uninhabited by humans, there are no official reports of people being bitten by them. Bothrops in general is a genus that has venom that can be very deadly for humans, but golden lancehead venom is not especially strange for its genus.
The island where golden lanceheads live is quarantined for two reasons, neither of which have to do with the snakes' venom being unusually potent:
The island is biologically isolated, and golden lanceheads have a relatively large population for such a small island. It's estimated that about 2000-4000 lanceheads live on the island, mostly concentrated to rainforested regions, and human presence on the island might result in contact with the snakes. Any area with a known, concentrated population of venomous snakes is likely to have restricted public access.
Golden lanceheads are critically endangered. That population is all there is, and they are at extreme risk from human persecution.
The island is kept in quarantine mostly to protect the snakes, not the other way around.

Queimada Grande Island
Tumblr media
Queimada Grande is an island in Brazil that is best known as the Island of Snakes. People are prohibited to go to this island, it's closed to the public, for the protection of both humans and the snakes. At first I thought, well, Webster is a golden lancehead (bothrops insularis), which is the only venomous snake species that is naturally occurring on that island, they don't exist anywhere else in the world (except for venomous collections, and even then, probably only labs are allowed to house them, I'm not quite sure). His markings do suggest he's a golden lancehead or at least likely of the genus bothrops. But if we're to take this theory literally, it could be an indicator that Snake's snakes and himself were born in a facility on that island, regardless if they're golden lanceheads or king cobras. It's quite convenient if you're conducting top secret research or don't want to be bothered, to be on an island that was previously thought to have, by some estimates, one (very venomous) snake per square meter and about 430,000 snakes roaming around in total.
Whether it's indeed "Moreau's" island or simply that Webster is a golden lancehead, it's interesting either way.

StarDom!Multiverse Star Sanses
OG Dream!Sans by @/jokublog
OG Swap!Sans by [N/A]
OG Ink!Sans by @/comyet & @/myebi
The StarDom!Multiverse is an alternative Multiverse that follows my own view and head-canon of the characters we all know and love.
Tumblr media
He was born 2 minutes before Nightmare, but he plays along on being the younger one because that makes Nightmare happy
Had some suspicions about the abuse the villagers did to Nightmare, but didn't want to jump into conclusion
He himself has been used and abused by the villagers but though it was normal for the guardian of positivity to help
He was 8 when the apple incident happened
It took around 500 years for him to escape the stone prison and developed claustrophobia and PTSD
His first friend was Haventale Sans, although they don't talk as much they used to do nowadays
Biologically speaking he's 500+ years old, but mentally he's only 16 making him hypothetically the youngest of the Stars
Was friends with Ink before an argument, let them apart
He knows that the current Nightmare isn't his brother, but because they share the same body he believes that they are still connected
No one knows, but he's #1 Nightmare fan
Does have a forked tongue due to an "accident"
He has mastered his control over emotions and can release or hold in both positive and negative emotions
[More to be added]
An excellent liar, sometimes he forgets that the thing he said was a lie
He's kind but not a pushover
He also can be mean sometimes when he's stressed
Tumblr media
He was about to transform into an error before Error threw him away from his Anti-Void, and that caused him to become invulnerable to Error and obtain new powers
He can hop around the multiverse, create stars as weapons (similar to Asriel's stars) and he's almost immortal but can still die through violent ways
He was friends with Ink before the errorfication but stopped after Ink told him he was replaceable as there are many versions of him
Dream rescued Blue when he was thrown away
Has a scar on his neck caused by Error
Held a grudge against Error for making him unable to go home but got over it
Because part of him is an error, he has become more impulsive
Is insecure about the black bones on his body, therefore his covers it
Very good at manipulation
Uses his reputation as "cute swap sans" to get what he wants (and it works most of the time)
If angered, he can start glitching, especially on his cape
[More to be added]
Often visit Underswap, where he was, indeed, replaced with another Sans
Doesn't cook as often as none of the Stats needed to eat
Hates being in the Anti-Void, even if he can go out on his own
He still believes that everyone can change if they just try
He will prioritize Swap AUs over others
Tumblr media
He does have emotions, he just need to activate them with paint
Has a pet snake that he stole adopted named Peppy
The snake species is Terciopelo or Bothrops Asper
Forgot Dream and Blue were no longer friend with him and tried to befriend them again
He can and will ignore the laws of physics
Can grant creatures the ability to hop around the Multiverse
He hates being alone, especially in the Anti-Void
After befriended Dream and Blue again, he has written their information on his scarf (He doesn't remember that they were past friends)
He is quite apathetic and can't understand the emotions of other people very well, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care
Surprisingly, he's the therapist of the group!
Often forget Dream and Blue's name and when he does, he calls them buddy, friend or pal
Hates it when it happens because even with his bad memory he knows that they are someone important to him
[More to be added]
No matter how apathetic he can be, he is more than capable to know when someone is using him
Have never tried makeup until Dream and Blue showed him
Calls Error "mou chou"
The star badges on their outfit is a tool created with their magic
Blue's magic created its shape
Dream's magic gave a protection and healing overtime
Ink's magic can make them teleport back to base with only a drop of magic

Webster
Because this post was getting so long.
Webster bites Sebastian and says he's from Queimada Grande, aka Snake Island, which is in Brazil. He's a pit viper of some kind.
Tumblr media
Though Webster doesn't too much look like examples I've seen, his homeland suggests he's a Golden Lancehead viper, which are only found on that island. Wikipedia. Smithsonian. It's a cousin to the Fer-de-Lance viper found on the mainland. According to the Smithsonian article, they evolved from the Jararaca, which some people consider synonymous with the Fer-de-Lance, but Wikipedia has a separate page and species name for it. To me, Webster's strongly zig-zagged sides make me think of the Fer-de-Lance, but 🤷🏻‍♀️. Well, it's got to be a Bothrops, either way. The Golden Lancehead's venomous bite is so potent that it practically melts human flesh, and a victim can be dead within an hour. No wonder Webster is shocked by Sebastian's ability to stay alive, let alone remain standing. We are talking major necrosis, kidney failure, and bleeding to death.
If Webster bit Doll.... 🤔

Dcst OC time because why not? Also, her design is inspired by the IRL snake Bothrops cotiara usually found in southern Brazil. :)
(some basic lore below!)
Cotiara is a herpetologist who got petrified alongside the entire world in 2019 while she was visiting the US, waking up only 3700 years later.
She managed to wake up after keeping brain activite for all those years. She was later on found by the other americans, and eventually joined Xeno's group.
After being brought to the American Colony, Xeno was somewhat intrigued to meet a person who was able to wake up without even hearing commander Stanley Snyder's order to not let their minds fade, since she wasn't even close to where the classified meeting took place.
After some time, she developed a "something more" relationship with Stanley, inbetween romantic and platonic, their third thing yk. But that's kept as a secret and she acts very respectful of him around others just like everyone else. She also became besties with Charlotte Bony at some point.
Cotiara is always doing her own little thing, most of the times loitering around the forest looking for snakes to keep as her pets (wich she has many) or trees to climb so she can sleep sleep under the shade of the branches. She dislikes being told what to do, howhever, she is quick to help anyone whenever she feels like doing so or when properly asked. She has beef with Gen.
+ she doesn’t have a tail that's just part of her skirt, she just asked Xeno to make it look like a tail because that would be cool

More Demon AU, and Undyne is making her comeback (o´∀`o)
The bloody knight is on the hunt and the domain of Waterfall is once again painted in red, bwahaha
I only got to draw her in her formal attire last time so I wanted to show her semi “bestial” form in this series (last one was Muffet!)
I thought it’d be nice if these guys had different forms: casual, semi beast/demon and full beast/demon form...  Alphys would be a big snake (maybe... a Bothrops lanceolatus), Undyne a sea creature, Muffet a spider and so on... It’s a bit hard to figure out what Sans and Papyrus would be buuut I’ll think about it... Maybe birds or wolves...
