Canobra
A hybrid of dog + Cobra
The Canobra is a fascinating hybrid creature with the muscular body of a medium-sized dog and the elongated, flexible neck of a cobra. Its fur is a mix of deep browns and rich greens, patterned with scale-like markings that mirror the appearance of a snake's skin. The head resembles that of a dog, but its eyes are slitted, like those of a serpent, allowing for enhanced night vision. Its fangs are elongated, capable of delivering a venomous bite, while its tongue is forked, enabling it to sense its environment through chemical cues.
