Snake predictions

Any guesses as to which breed of snake each flight will get?

I vote rough green snake for nature:

Hognose snake for earth:

A cobra would be cool but idk which flight it would match best with.

hmm… black rat snake for shadow?:

banded sea krait for water, of course. it can’t be anything BUT a sea snake, surely!:

maybe a corn snake for plague? solely for color matching aesthetic-y purposes:

paradise tree snake for wind, because these guys leap from trees and look like they’re flying while doing so:

maybe a red milk snake for fire:

as for cobra, i wonder if arcane will get it, purely because the cobra food items in the game are crystal/gem themed? sort of? onyx and opal.

Water needs a sea snake for sure. Hmm I wonder if they'll go for anacondas for any flight. Maybe nature?

I was thinking a milk snake (or coral, or kingsnake- similar coloring) might suit shadow in a sideways way since it reminds me a bit of casino colors and the circus/casino theme they have going on for trickmurk.

I was thinking about sand boas earlier. So majestic:

it would be interesting to see shadow's based off of a snake exhibiting batesian mimicry (harmless species imitates dangerous species)

I want to pet all of them (but watch out)

rough scaled bush viper I want it so bad but it doesn't scream a specific flight so.

i could see them using it for ice (which would be funny since theyre found in rainforests) though i could also see them using the european adder. according to a few sources their range is northenmost of any snake, with some found north of the arctic circle :)

pictured here is a male. interestingly, these snakes are sexually dimorphic! females are generally brown instead.

I gasped out loud. What a GORGEOUS snake!! Also the fact that they have sexual dimorphism is so cool!!

Given their habitat and the (to me) leafy/thorny look of their scales, I actually could easily see them for nature.

I'm just saying:

While I LOVE hognose snakes (bc they are adorable little shits) what about t. cerrejonesis for earth? An ancient, MASSIVE snake curled around some succulents?

As amazing as succulents would be, I think they're going by birth month flower! Which would make November chrysanthemum.

I'm excited to see Plague's snake with marigolds tbh :eyes:

oooh... that makes predicting more interesting. i know it's not exactly the same situation, but i wonder if they'll give us an additional familiar for those born in december (like when they released sparkling capricorn to complete the zodiac in 2021)

found an image with 2 varieties of flowers per month

sorry for the poor quality :sob: the other versions i found were stretched horizontally for some reason

I'd like to see a hognose, aka The Melodramatic Playing Dead Snake, for Plague or Shadow.
