Cobriguana
A hybrid of Cobra + Iguana
The Cobriguana is a remarkable hybrid species, exhibiting a sinuous body covered in iridescent scales that blend the vibrant hues of a cobra with the rugged texture of an iguana. Its elongated neck features a retractable hood, akin to that of a cobra, adorned with colorful frills that serve both as a warning signal and a display during mating rituals. The creature possesses strong limbs with sharp claws, enabling it to climb trees with agility, while its long, whip-like tail aids in balance and defense.
