REPTL WINS is the brightest water snake found in the Meuse River basin. Solenoglyphous, nocturnal, and rumoured to be the size of a calf, it is a creature so elusive that many still doubt its existence. It somehow survives with a single functioning lung and wears a pelvic girdle with a pair of vestigial claws on either side of its cloaca. When disturbed, it will rear up and spread its neck in a characteristic threat display. It has a visual companion of spectral type that is believed to be the inspiration for the mythological Mahwot.
