ok. i had to look this up, because this seems just too ridiculous. and wiki does not disappoint: “…
the hognose snake will often roll onto its back and play dead with its mouth open and tongue lolling, going as far as to emit a foul musk from the cloaca.
Emission of cloacal musk is considerably less likely than in many other
species. If the snake is rolled upright while in this state, it will
often roll over again as if to insist that it is really dead.”
I’m gonna do a fully shaded version but I really, really liked how the base value comp looked. Thanks to @filibusterfrog for their sick-ass ½ aasimar tiefling that inspired my character. now I just gotta figure out a name…
