Flying Snake

Before the hole
This and the Reptile Worm have a common ancestors, and share a lot of similarities, but with evolution, a lot of differences too.

The Flying Snake is a winged hunter that doesn’t hesitate to fly down and attack their prey on the ground. They are vicious and feed of already dead animals, or kill living ones. Spending most of their life flying or in their nest in the pines of the mountains, safe from any other predators. They can sustain a flight during almost eternity as long as they are sustained by light, indeed with their filament absorbing energy from light sources they just need to feed and not to sleep. When they find a prey they strike them with a bite filled with toxins that paralyze them, and then, they will wrap around the poor animal and take bite after bite, feeding of its flesh while it is alive. With their sadistic nature they often let them go, bleeding to die of in the wild and then come to finish their meal. They can reach 10’ in length but they prey upon individuals of any size as soon as they are isolated. They reproduce by eating their pears and using their filament as genetic material, laying eggs in the highest pines near the mountain, their eggs are also hunted upon by other Flying Snakes so they protect their nest for the duration of the incubation, and then make the newborn fall of the pines, only those that figure out how to fly before hitting the ground survive.

After the hole
Since the hole appeared, the proximity of comets emitting light that they absorbed turned them mad, they are now full of energy and filled with their vicious and sadistic desires, hunting for pleasure, even if they can’t kill anymore they can see their prey suffer, some time they just go on the ground to fight for fun. They are feared by everyone, including each other. Their predator instinct took over their mind and the radiation of comets made them one of the most terrifying creatures of the island. But some individuals are obsessed with the comets and their light, flying around them over and over, some careless ones even go to close and get sucked into the hole, and with no way to reproduce, over time their population only decreased, even if it is stabilizing.
