CobraDragon
A hybrid of Cobra + Komodo Dragon
The CobraDragon is a remarkable hybrid creature that combines the elongated, serpentine body of a cobra with the robust, scaled features of a Komodo dragon. This creature measures up to 12 feet in length, with a sleek, muscular form covered in iridescent scales that shimmer between shades of deep green and black. Its head is adorned with a flattened, triangular shape resembling that of a cobra, complete with a hood that can expand when threatened. The CobraDragon possesses sharp, serrated teeth capable of delivering a potent venom, inherited from its cobra lineage, while its powerful limbs echo the strength of the Komodo dragon, allowing for swift movements both on land and in trees.
