Snake and Giant Snake Pets

You know Necro, Im not certain if I should state this with shame or pride. But in Skyrim my character is a Nord. On the Dragonborn dlc, I wiped out my fellow Nords from the Thirsk Mead Hall so that I could become chief of the Rieklings! I simply couldnt resist their charms.

And that is totaly fine, but you have to understand that there are people who can see the beauty in non fluffy animals too.

And I not just want Snakes to be tamable pets because I like them personaly, but because it would make sense for me from a lore standpoint, in this game you can play as a stygian, have Set as your main Religion and build Shrines for him, so it would be just normal for followers of Set to have at least some Snakes here and there.

Totally agree. As this was my main reason for making my post back then.
I usually play Nordheimer live in the North and go all out barbarian with Ymir and such, but every now and again I like to switch things up, and be a Set cultist :rofl:

Exactly.

I’m just a “casual” Conan Fan so most of my Conan knowledge is based on the Schwarzenegger Movies, and a handful of Conan comics I have read many years ago, and some stuff I know from the internet, because of that I have a question for you guys.

Since some of the Pets already have Special skins, how big are the chances that if the devs add Snake pets to the game, that they also get DLC skins at some point?

Because I don’t know if there are any notable Snake variations in the Conan lore that could be added.

Do you know any “Special Snakes” from the Comics or Books etc. ?

@Nadia I am even more of a Conan lore noob than you. Almost like you, all I know are the movies and some deeper reading on the internet. Ok I have read some of Mr Howard’s brilliant works but not nearly enough to justify a legit opinion :rofl: .

But if I were to take a guess I would say that the skins we have received thus far does not really have to do with the lore so much. Rather with the theme of the DLC. I may be completely wrong, but it kinda makes sense to me? @Croms_Faithful may shed some more light on this subject IMO.

As for the question at hand, all I can say is of the plethora of pythons and their intricate and impressive colors and patterns we have IRL I am sure Funcom will dazzle us if they ever A: decide to add our slithering friends as friends and B: make a DLC that includes snake skins. Not to sound like Henry Ford, but as long as there is a black one I will be very happy!

Unfortunately Nadia, much like my comrade @Necro here I am no expert on Conan lore. I do know a good bit about Crom, however outside of that specialised niche there is room for improvement. However I wont leave you empty handed this day. I did do a spot of research for you after work and managed to produce some interesting results. Upon searching for ‘Conan Bestiary’ I discovered the following:

Giant Serpent — The Stygians worship the giant serpents as gods, believing them to be avatars and children of Set. In the dark city of Khemi, giant serpents freely slither through the streets, devouring any random person they wish. Chosen victims are expected to prostrate themselves before the reptilians and accept their fate. But the giant serpents have also appeared in other places besides Stygia, and are notorious throughout the Hyborian world. The exact size may vary, but the largest of these ophidians can have a head larger than that of a horse, and a body thicker in diameter than a large man. Giant serpents can use either their constricting coils or their potent venom to subdue prey. Besides these monstrous qualities, the giant serpents are also gifted with a strange and supernatural sense of vision. In “The Scarlet Citadel”, Pelias the Wizard says of the giant serpents: “The scaled people see what escapes the mortal eye. You see my fleshly guise; he saw my naked soul.” Although it is never explicitly stated, it is safe to assume that the giant serpents may have some connection to the Serpent-men of Kull’s time. There also appear to be several varieties of serpents; the Ghost Snake seen in “Beyond the Black River”, and the Golden Serpents mentioned in “Red Nails”, with their petrified eyes glowing like green flame in the city of Xuchotl, can both easily be considered a species of giant serpent. The giant serpents appear in The Hour of the Dragon, “The Scarlet Citadel”, “Black Colossus”, “The Devil in Iron”, “Beyond the Black River”, and "Red Nails".

Finally, probably not what you are after, but there is also the Serpent Men of Valusia, found in the Volcano. Although their origins and stories tend to focus on Kull the Conquerer and the pre-Conan/Hyborian era. There is a bit of information to get us started at the very least. If I can unearth anything further I shall post it here on this thread for you. However, there are a number of other users here on the forum who would prove far more adept than myself both generally, and with regarding the giant snakes. We could always summon them here? Some the most notable afficionados who spring to mind are Oduda, BigDave, Kendaric and BoogerParty. If any of you are reading this thread as we speak, then by all means please. Furthermore, should anyone else has anything they would like to contribute in regards to this area, them please do indulge us.
