Vashkara

Vashkara is a beautiful yet deadly snake that lives in the woods. You could mistake them for vines dangling from the tree, or they could be your swimming buddies. Be careful not to scare them, as they have a potent neurotoxic bite. It might not kill you, but it will paralyze you and cause agonizing anguish. These snakes are well-known for their ability to sight underwater and find life there, as well as in the trees that hang like vines.

Biological Traits

Vashkara can hold their breath for two hours due to their lage lung. Allow them to stay in the water for a long time.

Vashkara can release their mana around their body to heat up the water. You'd would think it was a fire element, but it's actually a water element that controls how hot water becomes. This means they cannot heat the air around them. This is why they enjoy being in the water during cooler months. This helps regulates the body since they are cold blooded like most snakes.

Vashkara They are exceedingly poisonous. Poisoning generates parallelization and a burning discomfort, which causes the system to speed up. Smaller species only needed a few seconds before their hearts stopped beating. Bigger creature's, can survive this, but it has been in severe pain for several hours and paralyzed for around the same amount of time.

Genetics and Reproduction

Vashkara attain the egg-laying age of four to five years. When Vashkara is ready to lay 3 to 11 eggs, they will choose an appropriate place in shallow water. The egg will ascend and land on the ground, with the male fertilizing the eggs. Following that, they will bury half of the eggs in dirt. The exit graves are brown, so they resemble pebbles on the bottom of the river, and they are tough. It dose take some force to break them. They left them there for eight months. When they hatch, they rise to the surface of the water, take their first breath, and set off to find food and start their own lives.

Ecology and Habitats

Vashkara are found only in the Verdantveil Jungle, typically hanging from branches or in the water. They adore the jungle and, like all other snake, enjoy the heat.

They can create warm while they're around them. A lot of them tend to make a small cave or tunnel where they can have their head out of water and their body in water and keeping it warm.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Vashkara are carnivorous; they devour small animals, rodents, insects, and other aquatic organisms.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Vashkara have superb vision in low light situations, allowing them to travel both in deep water and on land. When underwater, they have an additional lens to protect their eyes. They have difficulty seeing during the day since their eyes are meant for deep water, thus they are more active at night. Hearing is excellent, as is the ability to detect sound waves from all directions, both in and out of water. Leading them to any potential hazards or food. In addition, there are many thin hairs on the end of their tail. Allowing them to detect variations in the water surrounding them, so that nothing can sneak up on them. The tongue is not as strong as that of other snakes, and it can only detect temperature differences in air or water. They have virtually no sense of smell.
