Beacobra
A hybrid of Beaver + Cobra
The Beacobra is a unique hybrid creature characterized by its robust, aquatic body reminiscent of a beaver, complete with webbed feet and a broad, flat tail. Its head, however, is that of a cobra, featuring a striking triangular shape, hooded neck, and forked tongue. The Beacobra possesses glossy, dark-brown fur on its body, transitioning to smooth, iridescent scales along the neck and head. Its keen eyes are capable of seeing both in water and on land, making it an adept hunter and forager.
