Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus), family Elapidae, Australia
This snake has the most potent venom of any snake, and can be called the most venomous snake in the world.
They are, however, fairly shy and reclusive.

Design Notes Hidden Below...
Belated THP art post where I share my honest opinion on the new book
Spoilers below:
This, by the way, is the opposite of the situation I posted about yesterday, which was a case of misidentification by accident. I don't like the idea of anyone suffering through a serious envenomation (although this seems to be a case of someone who is not an especially nice person), even if they did basically bring it on themselves. But it does highlight a really nasty streak of arrogance toward parts of nature that really deserve extra respect because of the dangers they pose. I am already not enamored of the practice of breeding and selling herps with all the carelessness of a carnival goldfish stand, but the "hey, look what I got!!!" braggadocio shown by some venomous reptile keepers is the end result of an attitude that these animals are just living, breathing collectibles to be traded and shown off.
When we approach the rest of nature with respect instead of commodification, it completely changes the bedrock upon which our interactions with other beings and our shared environment occurs. The good news is that we can change our approach for the better any time--and hopefully before we find ourselves in such dire straits as this guy.

Taipan shedding its skin By: Fred Prenzel From: Nature's Unlovables 1990
Little Taipan sketch
24! For whatever OCs it applies to!
24) Can they play any instruments? If so, what do they play?
Taipan plays a variety of wind instruments (the exact logistics for a long-snouted, stiff-lipped animal playing a wind instrument are ehhhhh im working on it), including a ‘fire flute’, an instrument that is 30% actually playable and 70% spectacle. She performs professionally and occasionally teaches music. (This is why their nose ring is above their horn, it’d get in the way otherwise)
Sail was a fan and player of biosonar-inspired deep-sea music, wherein both the percussion and its echos are part of the beat. The music is ‘felt’ more than heard because SeaWing ears aren’t adapted to hearing underwater, which is why it appeals to Sail
Flash played the drums exclusively to piss off his family and then started actually enjoying them
Lovegrass collects instruments but doesn’t play any, she has people she pays for that!
Calyptra had to learn a few silk-based string instruments as part of their ‘work’ and they HATED it
All harts sing, but Eirwyn particularly used to partake in a tradition of sung storytelling that is more alike to oral poetry than music but ehhhh. It’s close enough. He doesn’t sing anymore because he is EMBARRASSED!
