They’ve Bitten a Few Heads Off

Killer Croc: Killer Croc is a Batman villain who has lived a life of hard ship since birth. He was raised by his abusive and alcoholic aunt after his mother died during childbirth and his father died in a car crash (which is occasionally implied to be a suicide). He was relentless bullied growing up and would eventually become a circus act where he fought alligators and was subjected to abuse by his employer. He would later leave and become involved in organized crime. Despite his monstrous appearance, offering him even a small bit of humanity will reveal a truly caring individual. He is known for being a loving partner, a protector of his fellow homeless people, and being an occasional ally of the Bat.

Kaiman: Kaiman is the main protagonist of the manga and anime series. He is a human born in the Hole with an immunity towards magic. He has made it explicitly clear that "Kaiman" was not his actual name, but was given to him after he began suffering from amnesia. His lizard head being the result of a Magic User's curse, and his main goal to seek out the one who cursed him in order to change his face back. But, because he can't remember who cursed him, Kaiman resorts to clamping his mouth around the head of every Sorcerer he comes across.

Gay Indie Game Women

Summer: A kind-hearted and spiritual snake spirit and the player’s lesbian aunt by marriage. She loves nature and plants, is spiritual, is into New Age things like crystals and energies, plays a sitar, and is a staunch vegan (ironic considering her spirit species). She lived a plant-caring life with her wife, Rose, before dying of cancer. She is implied to have had an alcoholic and possibly abusive father.

Alphys: The royal scientist, who works directly for King Asgore. She is incredibly talented at building things such as puzzles and human-hunting killer robots. Her timid, socially awkward personality makes “most players come to love her quickly.” She also writes fanfiction.

After several weeks, we have reached:

The Tumblr’s Reptilian Swag Wars Finale!

So for the last time…

Bowser: Bowser is King of the Koopas and the main antagonist of the Super Mario franchise. He kidnaps Princess Peach on the regular for Mario to save, but he still goes karting and golfing on the weekends with them. He is also a loving father to his son, Bowser Jr.

Master Oogway: An ancient tortoise from the Galapagos Islands and creator of kung fu. He is Shifu's mentor, and was the one who chose Po to become the Dragon Warrior. He has ascended to the heavens, leaving Shifu in his place as leader of the Jade Palace. He achieved inner peace, which makes him rather whimsical even after passing.

Opposite Ends of the Spectrum

Bowser: Bowser is King of the Koopas and the main antagonist of the Super Mario franchise. He kidnaps Princess Peach on the regular for Mario to save, but he still goes karting and golfing on the weekends with them. He is also a loving father to his son, Bowser Jr.

Double Trouble: Double Trouble is a non-binary shapeshifting spy from the Crimson Waste. They are obsessed with theatre, seeing shapeshifting as an art, and spending hours in "character study" to more closely mimic those whose appearance they copy. They were hired by Catra as a secret weapon against the Rebellion, and they revel in the chaos they create.

I’m Sure You’ve Never Seen This Match Up Before

Killer Croc: Waylon Jones is a Batman villain who has lived a life of hard ship since birth. He was raised by his abusive and alcoholic aunt after his mother died during childbirth and his father died in a car crash (which is occasionally implied to be a suicide). He was relentless bullied growing up and would eventually become a circus act and later become involved in organized crime. Despite his monstrous appearance, offering him even a small bit of humanity will reveal a truly caring individual. He is known for being a loving partner, a protector of his fellow homeless people, and being an occasional ally of the Bat.

Curt Conners: Dr. Curt Connors is Spider-man friend turned villain and a disabled scientist who attempts to replace his missing arm with lizard DNA. In some manner changing by the specific interpretation, it goes a tad to far and turns him into a lizard mutant with a corrupted mind. He’s also a husband and father.

Annnd this is the semiofficial Reptilian Swag Wars and it’s entrees. If enough people agree to participate (through reply, reblog, an ask, whatever you can come up with) I’ll set up an official voting. A poll for each round would be set up on google forms, each round having a day to carry out, the first theoretically beginning on Oct 10th.

If you think someone should be a candidate and isn’t, I’m all ears! Though I can’t say there’s a high chance of a change.

I hope we can crown a monarch of reptilian characters!

Wife Guys

Rango: Rango is a pet chameleon with aspirations for the stage and stardom, but he desires companionship most of all. After being accidentally thrown out of his human's car, he starts his journey towards his destiny. Upon reaching the rough and tumble people of the West, he builds himself up as a western legend. Throughout the film, he realizes he must become truly become one.

Gosha: He is the protagonist’s, Legoshi's, pacifist grandfather and sole living relative, whose relationship has been strained since Legoshi's mother died. He is a Komodo Dragon who entered into an interspecies relationship with a wolf, Tori, fathering Legoshi's mother. Because he is a venomous reptile, he has faced much discrimination throughout his life. While interspecies marriage become legal 25 years after meeting Tori, they were still unable to wed due to laws against toxic animals marrying non-toxic animals. He fully accepts this fate as someone belonging to a shunned species despite wanting to live in the society, and is highly paranoid about accidentally poisoning someone.

Semi-Anthropomorphic Snakes

Rattlesnake Jake: Rattlesnake Jake is a fearsome, ferocious desert rattlesnake with a Gatling gun for a tail. He is called the Grim Reaper, and lauded by many as a ruthless killer who "doesn't leave a town without taking a soul." He is presented as the final villain that the titular Rango just defeat. In reality, he is the final ally he must make, in turn fully realizing himself as apart of a western legend. He’s the most feared outlaw in the West and acts like it, but he has his own sense of justice.

Master Viper: A member of the Furious Five and the sweetest of them. She makes up for her lack of fangs and venom with her elegant dexterity and precision, which she acquired through her history as a ribbon dancer.
