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.
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.... 🤔

Linea Aspera - Fer-de-lance
There’s nothing better than this:
dressed in our predatory skins,
our blood so thin
we could never win.
We’ll be awake for days.
I’d have pulled you into the storm
when you told me your real name;
I’d have soaked you through.
We’ll be awake for days
in a sudden rain,
reeled in by the heat of the prey...
The body aches
as it craves.
They said you were anguine;
in the crowd you could have been slithering,
and I could see you were hungry
as you wrapped yourself around me.

“Spearhead” in French, Fer De Lance falls squarely within the epic heavy metal scene. A close parallel would be the brilliant Atlantean Kodex. For the band focuses a little…

opinion on fer-de-lances? i just love the name, it’s so much fun to say
My opinion is strongly positive! Like pretty much every snake in the Bothrops genus, they're devilishly handsome.
I love the name, too. It means "spearhead" - because their awesome triangle-shaped markings look like the head of a spear!

I've reached the point in my journey through All the Agatha Christie Audiobooks where I need a break, so I'm listening to the first Nero Wolfe novel instead - I've read it before, but it's been a while.
I had forgotten exactly how much of Archie's narration is "Let me minutely describe Wolfe's physical appearance and presence and the way he moves. No really, it's necessary for the story that I talk extensively about his body all the time. And also his microexpressions, which I am constantly extremely tuned into. Yes, especially the movement of his lips. That's very important. No one else notices that like I do, because I know him better than anyone and I spend a lot of time staring at him, which is incredibly normal. I'm going to be really sarcastic about all of this so that I can pretend it's not important to me. (It's very important to me.) Anyway, gotta go, he's instructed me to do something so it's time to show off so he can tell me I did a good job."
ARCHIE. It is chapter one. Oh my god, rein it in a little.

"I understand the technique of eccentricity; it would be futile for a man to labor at establishing a reputation for oddity if he were ready at the slightest provocation to revert to normal action."
