CobraBat
A hybrid of Bat + Cobra
The CobraBat is a remarkable hybrid creature showcasing the delicate wings of a bat and the serpentine body of a cobra. Its leathery wings span approximately 1.5 meters, adorned with intricate patterns resembling the scales of a cobra. The head features a striking cobra hood, capable of expanding to intimidate predators, while its eyes possess an eerie luminescence, allowing for excellent night vision. This creature's body is elongated and sinuous, with a smooth, dark green to black coloration that camouflages it within dense forest environments. Its fangs are sharp and hollow, designed to deliver a potent venom, while its echolocation capabilities echo those of its bat lineage.
