Trimeresurus Collis

Trimeresurus Collis is a venomous pit viper species native to northern the shadelands and parts of Tyrannadis. It is a subspecies of the Trimeresurus vogeli and is most commonly known as the Lancehead Viper.

Description
Mostly mountainous as opposed to their primarily arboreal parent species, with thin bodies and prehensile tails. They can reach a total length (including tail) of 242 cm (7 ft 9 in), and is one of the longest pitvipers in the shadelands, its girth can reach up to 6 inches, at times exceeding that slightly.

The Trimeresurus species are typically green in color, but this subspecies are varying shades of grey for the most part and brown to a lesser extent, their eyes range from yellow to red.

Diet
It preys upon frogs, lizards, birds, and rodents.

Reproduction
This species is viviparous. In Tyrannadis, sexually mature females give birth in April and May, and the average clutch size is 10. The hatchlings are about 180 mm (7.1 in) long.

Venom
It has a potent hemotoxin. The wound usually feels extremely painful, as if it had been branded with a hot iron and the pain does not subside until about 24 hours after being bitten. Within a few minutes of being bitten, the surrounding flesh dies and turns black, highlighting the puncture wounds. The wound site quickly swells, and the skin and muscle become black due to necrosis. The size of the necrotic area depends on the amount of venom injected and the depth of the bite. Potentially deadly if aid is not found shortly.

Due to the potency and effects of the Venom the species has been hunted to a mildly detrimental effect.

Geographic range
The shadelands, Tyrannadis and the mountain pass between. Mostly on the outskirts of the shadelands as opposed to the parent species which is predominantly tree dwelling as opposed to the mountainous dwelling Trimeresurus Collis and is very rarely seen in more civilised areas.
