    These monsterous pythons are spring green with red or tangerine eyes, dark green 'tiger'stripes, and a pale green underside.  They also have a darker green line of scales which run lateral  from their nostrils to their eyes, and behind their eyes, giving them an 'egyptian eye-liner' appearance.  They have small horns over their eyes and nostrils, green nictating lenses, can close off their nostrils while swimming, and they have very strong locomation on ground as well as in water.  These pythons feed strictly on boar, deer, giant salamanders, and giant catfish.  These snakes continue to grow as long as they live.  They lay between 8-10 eggs, which they bury beneath decaying leaves and humous soil.  The females and males take turns guarding their nests, defend them fiercely, and are dangerously aggressive while doing so.  These snakes are otherwise docile with exception of hunting their prey.  Goblins and native humans hunt these pythons for their delicious meat, and beautiful scaled hides.  2-60 feet long.  Lifespan at least up to 475, greatest attainable size and lifespan unknown.
