Pyrosnake
Pyrosnake
The Pyrosnake is a blazing-hot animal that looks like a snake that is on fire all the time. It was discovered by a 7-year-old named Connor during what was supposed to be a very serious deer search.
Connor was walking quietly through the woods, practicing his best “hunter steps,” when he smelled something strange—like burnt toast mixed with hot dogs. Thinking someone nearby was having a cookout (in the middle of the forest), Connor followed the smell. Instead of deer, he found a glowing red snake sliding across the ground, setting leaves on fire as it moved.
Connor froze, blinked twice, and said, “Deer don’t do that.”
The Pyrosnake looked back, sneezed out a puff of fire, and slithered away. Connor immediately ran home, told everyone what he saw, and accidentally invented the world’s first Pyrosnake report.
The Pyrosnake has a long, slithery body covered in bright red scales that glow like hot coals. Flames flicker all along its back and tail, and sparks pop into the air when it moves too fast. Its eyes shine like tiny fireballs, and the air around it feels hot, even from far away. Despite being on fire constantly, the Pyrosnake never burns out.
Pyrosnakes are fierce hunters. They mainly eat:
Deer
Rats
Lizards
Their fire helps them scare prey into freezing or running the wrong way—straight into danger.
Pyrosnakes live in the Flaming Forest, a dangerous woodland where trees are scorched black and the ground is always warm. This forest is located near the Blazehound Mountains, where smoke curls around the peaks all day long. The Pyrosnake blends in perfectly here, sliding through burning leaves and glowing logs like it belongs there—because it does.
Its fire is deadly, and even getting too close can be dangerous
