underneath the city, there are a collection of testing chambers where the ophiopeds were created. they were made in the hopes that they would obey their master, the head scientist, and help bring down the leader of their country. but, the testing chambers were broken into and someone released all the ophiopeds before they were, well, turned evil. they now live among us as civilians, but they do stand out. they, for one, tower over us with their average height being 8”, plus their ‘poison’ glows. and, theyre basically dragons.
