Antelobra
A hybrid of Antelope + Cobra
The Antelobra is a fascinating hybrid creature that combines the graceful form of an antelope with the sinuous body of a cobra. It possesses the elongated, slender body and smooth scales of a cobra, adorned with the delicate, tufted fur of an antelope, particularly around its neck and tail. Its head showcases the sharp features of a cobra, complete with a hood that can expand when threatened, while its legs are agile and strong, allowing it to leap gracefully across its savanna habitat. The Antelobra's eyes are large and intelligent, capable of detecting movement from great distances, and its coloration is a vibrant mix of earthy browns and greens, providing excellent camouflage in its natural environment.
