I don’t think we take into account how terrifying the serpentine really are. Like ooooh yea spooky they’re evil and they can do crazy shit like hypnotize people and drill into the earth yea cool whatever. but like, I don’t think we’re really taking into account like them as a species??
Idk man, unless I’m missing something here, all of them are roughly the size of an adult human. Here’s some statistics for yall: a snake can only stand upright about 1/3 of it’s total body mass. So say, a 10ft snake in length could stand around 3 to 4ft. The average human man is about 5′7.5ft. Ok so a 10ft snake would stand like this next to an average guy:
(left fig is rated at height 5′7.5ft or 171.45 cm and right fig is rated at height 3.5ft or 106.68cm)
So cool, right? seems chill. that’s nature whoop di do or whatever
except all the generals of the Serpentine are around the same height as the tall guy, if not taller (more likely the latter). So if 1/3 of their body mass is about 171.45 cm (5′7.5ft), then that would make them about 514.40 cm in length. Or, you know. About 17 feet. Which is roughly the size of a canoe. Or about the legal standing point for competitive axe-throwing. Whichever one puts it more into perspective for you.
I mean, it’s a funny thought to think of a canoe being intimidating, but the idea of a snake being like 17ft in length, talking and with arms, with the ability to fight and use weapons, yea no fuck that.
But let’s not also forget that just because it’s an average height, it is not the absolute height. So some of these fuckers might be taller than 5′7.5ft. Some of them could range all the way up to 6ft or more; I mean, look at Pythor in comparison to Scales:
(sorry its blurry but you get the point)
He towers over that motherfucker. He’s easily like 6′2ft or 6′3ft, if not more. And his head is bent down. If he stood up straight, or was laid out flat, jesus h christ could yall imagine???
and that’s just the generals. Like the regular serpentine warriors are the average male height iirc and they’re not built like regular snakes (as if the generals are), but they instead stand on two legs. and idk chief, but the thought of snakes, instead of slithering around, being able to run and stand like any other human being, trained specifically for fighting and killing, is something horrifying to me.
Anyways, the point of this was that i hate snakes and if i lived in ninjago i think i wouldve fucking died, elemental abilities be damned. thank you and good night

some splat doodles in between doing a bigger project for an irl thing
[IMG ID: Three images of various Splatoon characters. Image 1 features Shiver and Frye in alternative detailed outfits reminiscent of their in-game outfits. Shiver is holding her fan and Frye is grabbing her own arm.
Image 2 is a few various drawings of Frye. Top left is her as the 'sitting cutely' reaction image. Top right is tiny Frye dressed as a 'portly little sailor boy' with a lollipop. Bottom left is a tiny Frye doing a peace sign and bottom right is Frye when she sits down in her splatfest performance doing the finger gun pose.
Image 3 is a page full of Marinas plus one Pearl. Left is a fullbody of Marina in coveralls and a tanktop with gloves and a wrench in her pocket. Upper right is a drawing of Marina welding on the ground and kicking her legs. Below that is Pearl and Marina doing the tongue out hands on head anime pose with the label on Marina saying 'built a pipe bomb.' Pearl's label says 'funded it.' /END ID]
